Daily Roundup--March 2, 2012

American Airlines is following other airlines and will be offering a few rows in coach with extra legroom. It’s called “Main Cabin Extra” and it will give some passengers an extra 4-6 inches of leg room. However, it won’t be available to everyone. Read the fine print.

United/Continental Airlines will merge its computer systems tomorrow. They claim it should not affect any passengers. My fingers are crossed.

Frontier Airlines is dropping its hubs in Milwaukee and Kansas City as it rebrands itself an ultra lowcost carrier.
