It was an accidental joke while we were recording but the discussion of Lufthansa‘s new business class seat and soft product in this week’s episode brings up some interesting questions about the timing of the products in addition to the overall quality.

Also in this episode:

• Lots of new route news, from AA, UA, WOW and more.
• Some canceled services, too. Survival of the fittest doesn’t always work as hoped.
• The rumor mill in Hong Kong/China is churning, with China Southern and Cathay Pacific set to switch alliances. Though that might not really happen at all.
