American Airlines ends their inflight magazine "American Way", joining Delta and Southwest

[Ottaro]

End of an era with the big three all now out of making this relic of a bygone time.

American is ceasing publication of what it calls the industry's longest continually published in-flight magazine, joining Delta and Southwest, which stopped publishing their magazines during the pandemic and decided against bringing them back.

the internet happened?

I always thought magazines were a waste of paper but apparently its nearly as bad as meat production.

Are printed magazines sustainable?

When asking ‘are printed magazines sustainable?’, the thing many people don’t realise about print is that it has great green credentials already.

Did anyone actually read those things or were they simply absentmindedly thumbing through them wishing they had brought a book or a Game Boy or something.

I certainly did. On a long haul flight you have plenty of time to kill.
