We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2025 Cranky Network Awards, but before we see you there, you need to RSVP before January 20, 2025. You can do that at the bottom of this page once you read all the details below.
What
The fifth annual Cranky Network Awards return to Phoenix to once again honor the best in airline network planning. We hand out awards at the ceremony, but as you know, this is no stuffy event. Awards range from Sexiest New Route to Most Improved Network.
This is a fun night where network planning teams get to laugh, relax, have some drinks, and celebrate their successes. The after-party keeps things going later than any of us should still be awake.
This year, we’re adding the Cranky Confab which will happen the day of the awards between 1pm and 3pm. When we asked for feedback, you said you wanted more content. So we’re giving you content with a couple of different panel discussions or interviews. We’ll have more detail when it gets closer.
We pair this with the usual morning forecast breakfast the following day where Courtney Miller of Visual Approach leads an interactive discussion.
Who
If we sent you the link to this page, we want you there. If you’d like to bring a bigger group, email cna@crankyflier.com so we can discuss table options.
On the other hand, if you found this page on your own, email us first at cna@crankyflier.com to see if you’ll be allowed beyond the velvet ropes.
When
The awards will be held Thursday, February 27, 2025. Cocktails start at 6pm with the program and dinner starting at 7:30pm (all times MST). Yes, we pushed it back a half an hour since it seemed like better timing for many of you. There will be an after-party following the awards at a venue in the hotel.
The Cranky Confab will run before the awards from 1pm to 3pm at the same venue as the awards themselves, so schedule a morning flight in.
The forecast breakfast the following morning is also in the hotel, and that will end before noon so you can head straight to a spring training game or, if for some reason you prefer, the airport.
Where
The Cranky Network Awards and the Cranky Confab will be held at Events on Jackson at 245 E Jackson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
Our host hotel is the Hyatt Regency Phoenix at 122 North Second Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004. The breakfast will be held there as well.
The after-party will be held at Barrel & Bushel which is located on the ground floor of the host hotel.
How
How you get to Phoenix is up to you, but naturally we recommend flying into our host airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. If you’re looking for an adventure, maybe go through Paris on the new Air France year-round service.
