This long-distance fleet replacement will end up with 800+ new railcars across 14 routes. As rumored, the entire fleet will transition from a mix of bi-level and single-level equipment to single-level only. We get our first look at a new lounge, dining, and sleeper cars. #PaxEx
Meanwhile, at the Burrana #AIX26 stand…how about an E Ink display in the seatback? It can display one static color image every 15 seconds. Maybe it’s an ad. Maybe the safety card. Maybe the flight map. It’ll probably be an ad. One thing is for sure: Passengers won’t be able to turn it off. #PaxEx
I’m not a fan of VR/AR, but Mirus has a really useful application of it to show a seat it’s still designing. It’s their first premium economy seat for single aisle aircraft, and it looks quite nice at least in a virtual world. Also, here’s the new easyjet seats. #AIX26 #PaxEx
TCI tells me that its first Crystal business class seat will be flying on a newly delivered Turkish A350-900 this July. But the Turkish 777 retrofit won’t happen until 2027 or 2028. It can’t replace that 2-3-2 product soon enough, but it’s a start. #AIX26 #PaxEx

eXneo is really cool. It brings new life to old hardware, where a full retrofit of something new isn’t feasible. This demo loading the in-flight map shows how stark the contrast is between old (left) and new (right). Good stuff, @[email protected]! #AIX26 #PaxEx

I know the 787’s dimmable windows get a lot of hate but I do love having the ability to dim them a bit to cut down on the IFE screen sun glare without having to completely close a physical blind. I think it’s genuinely a great #PaxEx feature.
Conclusion: Starlink works fantastically well in the air right now. It’s no wonder airlines are tripping over themselves to move to it or offer Wi-Fi for the first time. I absolutely loathe who owns and controls Starlink, but the product is arguably the best thing out there right now. #PaxEx
Good afternoon and welcome on board United flight UA1880, with nonstop service from SXM to EWR. It’s my second time on this particular United 737 MAX 8, N37319. Pretty cool seeing as I don’t get on United MAX’s much. Hate to leave #AvGee paradise, but at least the #PaxEx is decent!
