Airlines continue to unbundle what's covered by a basic fare.
United Airlines announced this week that it will begin charging for the use of overhead space in its cabins. United is the first major airline to do so. As part of a new pricing tier, United is introducing "Basic Economy" for passengers who purchase the cheapest fares. They'll be allowed only one carry-on that fits under the seat. The fare class also restricts seat assignment until the day of the flight. Passengers who purchase higher class tickets will be allowed to stow carry-ons in the overhead, but will still be charged for checked bags.
Also, "Basic Economy" passengers will still be allowed to purchase overpriced food onboard the aircraft. The new fares take effect in early 2017.

The Magic of Christmas, Air Canada Jazz style For several years, Jazz employee teams have partnered with local charitable organizations to create lasting memories for very special children. At six locations across the country, wide-eyed participants embark on the trip of a lifetime to the ‘North Pole’ as they take to the sky in search of Santa Claus. Following a 45 minute flight, our young guests, share lunch with Santa, sing songs and open their Christmas gift. For many of these children, the trip to the North Pole is their very first flight and the highlight of their holidays – a memory they will cherish for many years to come. Jazz employee teams from coast to coast have enthusiastically embraced organizing these special flights each year and are already looking towards 2017! Jazz’s "Searching for Santa" program, which is 100% employee-led, expanded its scope in 2016 to include events which just took place in Toronto (November 29), Halifax (November 30), Calgary (December 2), Quebec City (December 3), Vancouver (December 3), Saskatoon (December 10).

The Flying Seven.
It’s a cold misty morning in November 1936. On the tarmac at Vancouver airport sits a motley collection of small aircraft—a couple of Fairchild biplanes, a Golden Eagle, two Fleets, two Gypsy Moths. Standing by them, shivering in the coolness and looking up into the sky, seven women wait.
The first faint trace of light appears in the east and someone says, “Well, let’s start. ”It’ s 6:16 a.m. Canada’s first all-woman ‘dawn to dusk patrol’ has begun".
