Greetings from Dubai! Mrs. ATX and I are currently on the first leg of our Middle Eastern and Asian adventure with ATX Jr. Since I’ve been traveling and enjoying time with family, I haven’t had as much time as usual to post but I’ve been gathering lots of great content and will have new hotel, airline, and lounge reviews coming soon! Now lets dive into the March 22, 2025 weekly recap.
Delta Officially Unveils its 100th Anniversary Livery
Delta Air Lines officially unveiled its new 100th anniversary livery at a ceremony in Atlanta earlier this week. The Atlanta based carrier rolled out the new scheme on an Airbus A350-900 and an Airbus A321neo. The A321 is currently in revenue service with the A350 expected to follow shortly.
Power Outage Shuts Down London’s Heathrow Airport
A fire at a power substation caused one of the largest airports in the world to come to a standstill earlier this week. London’s Heathrow Airport was forced to close on Friday due to the outage which caused hundreds of aircraft to divert and stranded thousands of passengers.
Southwest Airlines Answers Questions About Upcoming Changes
After choosing to eliminate free checked bags on most fares as of May 28, 2025, Southwest Airlines Executive Vice President of Customer and Brand, Tony Roach, took to YouTube to answer questions regarding the changes. While we didn’t get a ton of information from him, there are some important pieces there.
Review: W San Francisco
.On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I spent a couple of nights at the W San Francisco. The property has been well maintained but, as one of the older W’s out there, it feels like its stuck in the last decade. The extremely low occupancy didn’t help my perspective either as it seems San Francisco has moved on from the property.
Summary
With our travels this week I decided to keep the recap short. Stay tuned for plenty of new airline, hotel, and lounge reviews in the coming weeks! As always, thanks for reading the March 22, 2025 weekly recap!
