*A smaller regional airport is getting a swanky new Delta lounge*
Delta (DAL) - Get Free Report's network of Sky Club airport lounges has been in the news a lot over the last few months. After the airline announced that it was requiring travelers to spend more to earn the loyalty status necessary to access its lounges while also bringing down the number of times those with said status can enter them in a year last September, customers revolted while competing airlines saw opportunity to win them over.Related: Airlines are cracking down on lounge crowding in a way you won't like While Delta’s CEO Ed Bestian later admitted the airline "probably went too far" with the changes and raised the Sky Club lounge caps slightly, he did not backtrack on the decision to introduce them in the first place. Travelers sit in a Delta Sky Club lounge. Shutterstock Here's what we know about the brand-new Sky Club lounge coming to Charlotte Three months later, the airline announced that it is opening another one of its Sky Club lounges in the newly-renovated Concourse A of Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. While the airline said that they "look forward to sharing more details in the coming months," it confirmed to media that a "first-ever location in Charlotte" would be opening sometime in 2024. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane Those who have recently passed through the terminal reported seeing a large space currently being blocked off by construction signs that has presumably been set aside for the new lounge space. Delta is also slated to receive 10 new gates to fly out of from the new terminal once construction is complete. CLT is currently the tenth-busiest airport in the country when it comes to passenger traffic but only 2% of Delta's flights leave out of there. The nearby Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) is a major hub both for the country and the airline. American Airlines has its regional hub in Charlotte and operates a much larger number of its flights from the airport. While Charlotte is a relatively small city with a population of just over 880,000, airlines have been increasingly eying it as a place to increase their presence — there have been growing rumors that American Airlines (AAL) - Get Free Report is looking to open its Admirals Club lounge in Charlotte as well. New club 'the result of competitive pressure, also good for guests' "Ultimately a Delta Sky Club in Charlotte will in be great for Delta passengers but could also be good for American passengers as well as a result of competitive pressure, and also be good for guests who currently use the Centurion lounge, The Club, and two Minute Suites locations at the airport since it could help reduce crowding," writes Gary Leff of travel website View From The Wing. This fall, Delta added another new Sky Club lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport's renovated Terminal A. In the last few months, the airline has also opened new locations in Boston Logan International Airport, New York’s John F. Kennedy and Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport as part of its wider efforts to build more Sky Club lounges. “While Delta takes measures to curb Club overcrowding, the airline will continue to plan for major growth, with a robust expansion and opening schedule for 2023 and planned digital investments to enhance the Club experience,” the airline said at the end of 2022.

A smaller regional airport is getting a swanky new Delta lounge
Delta promised to "share more details in the coming months."
*A bizarre (and expensive) technology just sold on eBay*
On March 2, 1969, test pilot Andre Turcat took off from Toulouse, France and landed in the history books. Turcat was flying a prototype of the Concorde, the supersonic jetliner, and, upon returning to earth, the pilot made a succinct comment. "The big bird flies," he said.Related: Dan Ives predicts big things for Tesla, Apple and ESPN in 2024 Indeed it did. On Sept. 26, 1973, the Concorde made its first transatlantic crossing, flying from Washington, D.C. to Paris in the record-breaking time of three hours and thirty-three minutes. Air France's first Concorde was delivered ON THIS DAY in 1975 pic.twitter.com/F3RiFyV2H1— Dan | Dj’s Aviation (@DjsAviation) December 19, 2023 Pretty impressive, especially when you realize that the same flight on a conventional jet takes about 7 1/2 hours.How the other half flies The Concorde became the only way to fly for the rich and powerful, with a one-way ticket from London to Washington in 1976 going for about $2,800 in today's money. In 1985, during the worldwide benefit concert Live Aid, singer Phil Collins played the London stage, then boarded a Concorde and made it to the U.S. in time to play in Philadelphia, NPR reported. "I was in England this afternoon," Collins told the cheering crowd. "Funny old world, isn't it?" Businessman Fred Finn really pulled out the stops as he flew the Concorde a record-setting 718 times. "My favorite mode of transport without any doubt is my beloved Concorde," Finn reportedly said. The prices kept climbing and by 1996, a roundtrip across the Atlantic would set you back the equivalent of about $12,500. The Concorde's sonic boom sparked protests and many countries believed that the plane was not a good choice to fly over land and was suitable for supersonic flights only over water. In addition to the aircraft’s noise, operating expense limited its service and financial losses — as well as a fatal crash in 2000 that killed over 100 people-caused Air France and British Airways to cease flying the Concorde in 2003. Concorde made its last-ever flight on Nov. 26, 2003, departing London's Heathrow Airport and landing in Bristol, England.Selling a piece of history The Concorde made history and a piece of the iconic aircraft was sold recently on eBay (EBAY) - Get Free Report in the form of a Rolls-Royce Olympus turbojet engine that went for about $714,500, twenty years after the Concorde's final flight. The engine, which belonged to a British Airways plane, had been priced at $975,000 in 2019, according to Jalopnik, so the buyer got a bit of bargain on the deal. The listing said that the engine is "not able to fly but perfect to dismantle and repurpose into collectable pieces of furniture or art.” And this was the only Concorde engine sold by British Airways that still had the afterburner fitted. If you missed out on buying the engine, there are several other Concorde-related items available on eBay, including a British Airways Concorde silver candlestick, Concorde cufflinks, a Concorde silver plated corkscrew, and a British Airways Concorde silver letter opener. As for the future of supersonic travel, American Airlines (AAL) - Get Free Report announced last year that it planned to put down a deposit to purchase 20 supersonic jets with the option to buy up to 20 more, from the privately-owned company Boom Supersonic. And in August, NASA said in a blog post that it had investigated “the business case for supersonic passenger air travel aboard aircraft that could theoretically travel between Mach 2 and Mach 4.” The space agency said it is also developing a "quiet" supersonic aircraft known as the X-59, as part of its Quesst mission.

Air France's first Concorde was delivered ON THIS DAY in 1975 pic.twitter.com/F3RiFyV2H1— Dan | Dj’s Aviation (@DjsAviation) December 19, 2023 Pretty impressive, especially when you realize that the same flight on a conventional jet takes about 7 1/2 hours.How the other half flies The Concorde became the only way to fly for the rich and powerful, with a one-way ticket from London to Washington in 1976 going for about $2,800 in today's money. In 1985, during the worldwide benefit concert Live Aid, singer Phil Collins played the London stage, then boarded a Concorde and made it to the U.S. in time to play in Philadelphia, NPR reported. "I was in England this afternoon," Collins told the cheering crowd. "Funny old world, isn't it?" Businessman Fred Finn really pulled out the stops as he flew the Concorde a record-setting 718 times. "My favorite mode of transport without any doubt is my beloved Concorde," Finn reportedly said. The prices kept climbing and by 1996, a roundtrip across the Atlantic would set you back the equivalent of about $12,500. The Concorde's sonic boom sparked protests and many countries believed that the plane was not a good choice to fly over land and was suitable for supersonic flights only over water. In addition to the aircraft’s noise, operating expense limited its service and financial losses — as well as a fatal crash in 2000 that killed over 100 people-caused Air France and British Airways to cease flying the Concorde in 2003. Concorde made its last-ever flight on Nov. 26, 2003, departing London's Heathrow Airport and landing in Bristol, England.Selling a piece of history The Concorde made history and a piece of the iconic aircraft was sold recently on eBay (EBAY) - Get Free Report in the form of a Rolls-Royce Olympus turbojet engine that went for about $714,500, twenty years after the Concorde's final flight. The engine, which belonged to a British Airways plane, had been priced at $975,000 in 2019, according to Jalopnik, so the buyer got a bit of bargain on the deal. The listing said that the engine is "not able to fly but perfect to dismantle and repurpose into collectable pieces of furniture or art.” And this was the only Concorde engine sold by British Airways that still had the afterburner fitted. If you missed out on buying the engine, there are several other Concorde-related items available on eBay, including a British Airways Concorde silver candlestick, Concorde cufflinks, a Concorde silver plated corkscrew, and a British Airways Concorde silver letter opener. As for the future of supersonic travel, American Airlines (AAL) - Get Free Report announced last year that it planned to put down a deposit to purchase 20 supersonic jets with the option to buy up to 20 more, from the privately-owned company Boom Supersonic. And in August, NASA said in a blog post that it had investigated “the business case for supersonic passenger air travel aboard aircraft that could theoretically travel between Mach 2 and Mach 4.” The space agency said it is also developing a "quiet" supersonic aircraft known as the X-59, as part of its Quesst mission.
