The 6 hour claim is interesting, but I highly doubt Avelo (or any airline) would handle 100k requests/sec

If we consider that the real major's move about 400k-500k passengers/day, let's be really optimistic and say that they check their booking 6 times a day for the week before they fly. That's around 250 requests/sec.

Anyone know about the consumer facing tech stacks at airlines these days? Seems unlikely that they'd have databases that would auto scale 400x...

Oh cool, neat plane to have! And on desktop that's definitely easier to see than on mobile.

Very neat, something that would be cool to see is the commercial vs GA split over time. In your graph by type it’s quite hard to see how much flying you still do on your own time!

Deep linking into apps on mobile has become such a pain of late.

I think the content that was linked is the slide deck in this blog post from the same author: https://www.kentik.com/blog/dual-subsea-cable-cuts-disrupt-a...

The New Zealand app is local storage only (at least that’s how it’s marketed, I’m not sure if this has been validated by a third party)
