Are there any new BA routes planned from Manchester this summer? Is the JFK

years old), and then close the route? Or, sould we see AA ...

I need a new suitcase to replace my 20-year-old pullman,
and would like to ask all your advice.  
I have visited 3 luggage stores, searched the Web and the
archives of this group, and got the Consumer Reports article on

Airlines that allow the early reservation of exit row seats by FF elite
are rewarding those elites at the expense of infrequent fliers who try
to obtain one of those exit row seats on the day of departure.  That
is a business decision by airlines, and I'm not trying to start a flame
