American Airlines hits milestone at DFW
As American continues with its unprecedented growth, it reached a milestone at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) when it hit 900 scheduled flights per day. Customers now have 9,000 one-stop travel options through DFW which is more than any other airline hub in the world.  Some of the newest routes include service to Dublin, Munich, and Santo Domingo.

To facilitate the tremendous growth out of DFW, American has been renovating the airport from top to bottom. The carrier is now operating mainline flights out of Terminal B gates B5 to B12 and is offering service out of 15 new gates in Terminal E. American recently opened its new Flagship Lounge, which features its complimentary Flagship Dining, and will open a new Admirals Club in Terminal E later this year.

United expands its flight-connection program
After successful tests, United Airlines said it will bring its flight-connections program to all of its hub locations. United’s new data tool is designed to reduce the number of missed flight connections by scanning flights for customers who are making tight connections and then determining if the connecting flight can be held without inconveniencing other customers.  The ConnectionSaver part of the tool is in use in Denver and Chicago O’Hare. Another part of the tool sends text messages to connecting passengers with clear directions to the gate for their connecting flight, along with information as to how long the walk will take. This is now in use at seven of United’s hub locations. Customers must opt-in to receive the service. United said it will eventually roll out the complete program to all of its airports.
