018 ATH - Emirates goes to Washington, LHR T1 closes, Iron Man safety video, Monarch Apple Watch
Summary
Flight 018. A proposed worldwide unique size carry-on doesn’t seem to fit, but a smart luggage with 4G wifi just might. Emirates goes to Washington whilst U.S. airlines are under investigation for price fixing. London Heathrow might get its third runway but Terminal 1 is no more. Jet2 proposes unruly passengers banned for life, though chewing gum might be banned first. Iron Man is in a safety video, will he have to switch his Monarch Apple Watch app?SHOW NOTES
