Another carrier, AirTran, is eliminating its
16、commuter-jet operation and will soon be flying the regional routes with Boeing 717s equipped with AirTrans spacious, business-class service. And a fourth, all-coach ATA Airlines, is equipping its entire fleet of jets with business-class cabins. Domestic premium-class travel is enjoying a substantial
17、 rebound this year. However, there is no simple, surefire way to find low-priced first-class service or business-class seats.

Another breakthrough in long-haul travel comes from Emirates, which later this year will la
22、unch nonstop flights from New York and San Francisco to its hub in Dubai.

23、gers private rooms with closing doors.

24、 flights between New Yorks Kennedy airport and its Hong Kong hub; Qantas nonstop service between Los Angeles and Brisbane; and Air New Zealands launch of flights between San Francisco and Auckland.
