The services will disappear within weeks as airline bosses roll out a raft of changes.

Travelers who take advantage of United’s landline services are set to be impacted, as reported by Simple Flying.
Landline services are bus routes – not flights.
One route that’s set to be cut will impact travelers who head between Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado.
That route will be discontinued on July 31.
But, the cuts do not stop there as another route is set to be axed.
The Newark to Allentown, Pennsylvania journey, which is a two-hour route, will be withdrawn on September 1.
A range of options will be given to travelers following the changes.
Travelers will have the chance to rebook to another airport within a distance of 300 miles.
Or, they will be able to get a refund.
Bosses have revealed the reason why the routes are being discontinued.
“Our bus service from Newark to Allentown and from Denver to Fort Collins, Colorado will end as Landline focuses on other opportunities,” a spokesperson told Simple Flying.
“We are reaching out to customers to offer refunds or rebooking options.”
Travelers who use Landline services can get seamless travel.
Passengers are ferried to their destinations on buses that are equipped with Wi-Fi and on-board entertainment.
