Emirates cuts Florida flights 29% in September: 777 capacity shrinks.

Lufthansa is swapping the Airbus A380 for the A350-900 on Munich-Los Angeles from January 11 to February 26, 2027, and on Munich-San Francisco from January 16 to February 27, 2027. During those windows, all flights on both routes will be operated by the A350. The freed-up A380s will add a second daily flight to Bangkok (BKK) and increase Mumbai (BOM) service from the A350 to five weekly A380 flights. This is a seasonal demand play, not a permanent cut.

Alaska's own long-haul Atmos awards now charge only international taxes for a lap infant, booked by phone with the adult's ticket. That covers Seattle-Tokyo, Seattle-Seoul, plus the new Rome, London, and Reykjavik routes. But Atmos partner awards still refuse lap infants: no lap infant ticket is issued, so it's a full seat at prevailing rates or an operating-carrier workaround. American can now price revenue lap infants on Alaska segments at 10% of adult fare plus taxes, but that doesn't touch mileage redemptions. The fix is half-done: own metal yes, partner awards no.
