We’ve engaged in a lot of discussion lately about who JetBlue and Spirit Airlines might merge with in this challenging environment, but I don’t think anyone predicted a merger between American Airlines and United Airlines, especially a merger courted and choreographed directly by the United Airlines CEO in overtures to the Trump Administration. But 2026 is shaping up to be quite a year…
Yes, we are talking about United and American, two of the largest airlines in the world (and the two largest by certain metrics), combining into one carrier.
On its face, the idea is absurd.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
