In an internal American Airlines Jetwire for employees, the company shared what happened to a group of school children visiting Washington, D.C. from Bermuda on June 15th.
Seventy one students and their chaperones had flown non-stop to Washington’s National airport on American. They were ticketed on a connecting flight back through Miami, and their DC to Miami segment was delayed by weather. They were going to miss their connection home. //
So American Airlines decided to add a dedicated flight just for this school trip. //
Since National airport is an American Airlines hub, and crew base, they were able to pick up crew that were on reserve to work the trip. They used a 128-seat Airbus A319 dedicated to the group. //
This was an even more expensive move that American made for these passengers than it seems at first glance. That’s because they didn’t just have to fly an extra plane to Bermuda – they had to get it back, too. They didn’t need to operate an extra Bermuda departure that day. So American paid to ferry the plane back to National airport, too.
The Register's Geek's Guide series for explorers who love feats of tech and engineering prowess took a trip to the European mainland to see exhibits ranging from an Air France Concorde and a Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 "Concordski" to a Buran prototype, alongside various industrial marvels.
The spot? Well there are two of them: The Speyer and Sinsheim museums, both well worth a visit the next time you're in southwest Germany.
The two museums can be accessed by driving an hour south from the closest large airport, Frankfurt, and represent an effort, beginning in 1981, by a gang of vintage enthusiasts keen to show off their vehicles. The collection has since grown to include a variety of military hardware, a good number of aircraft, and, of course, the supersonic airliners and the Buran prototype. //
A two-day pass is €52 or €42 for children between 5 and 14 and includes a show at the IMAX theaters on each site, although we didn't bother with a viewing since there was more than enough at each museum to look at it.
There is also a parking charge at both museums.

The problem has gotten out of hand. On Southwest flights to SW Florida, they are often called miracles flights. I've seen as many as 25 people in wheelchairs waiting to board a flight. When we arrived in Florida, only 2 people requested wheelchairs to exit. The others scurried off the plane quickly.
