US Requires 6 Percent of West African Passengers Traveling to U.S. to Re-Route to Stop Ebola
For those clamoring for a travel ban, the U.S. has ordered that passengers coming from 3 West African countries are only allowed to enter via five airports. Passengers coming from Sierra Leone, Liberea, and Guinea may only enter the U.S. at New York JFK, Newark, Washington Dulles, Atlanta, and Chicago O’Hare. Those are the airports […]

Etihad Reaches Out To Me Regarding Flight Delay
As I explained a couple of weeks back, I had an Etihad flight from Seoul Incheon to Abu Dhabi that was delayed by 14 hours due to maintenance.
I've had absolutely horrible luck with delays lately. I can hardly remember the last delay I had prior to a few months ago, while in the past few months I've collectively had more details than I've otherwise had in the rest of my life combined.
Of course nobody likes being delayed, and of course it was a total cluster (as I'd expect from an outstation with once daily service). At the same time, I've flown enough so that I don't get aggravated by delays like these -- they happen, there's nothing that can be done about them, and the employees at the airport that are dealing with the delay are probably more pissed off about it than we are.
It's amazing how safe flying is, and I would certainly rather have a 14 hour maintenance delay than have something potentially dangerous deferred.

One Last Hurrah in American’s First Class Flagship Suite!
American’s 777-200s are being retrofitted, and the first one is now in service with a brand new business class that looks fantastic but no longer offering first class. Since American’s 777-300ER aircraft got a new first class, that means the old Flagship Suites are being retired. I reviewed American’s first class lounge at New York […]

A380 Addiction: Introduction
Hi, my name is Ben, and I'm kind of addicted to A380s.
Up until Asiana began longhaul service with their A380s in August, I had reviewed A380 first class on every airline that operates the whale jet, including Air France, British Airways, China Southern, Emirates, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, and Thai Airways.
I had been waiting for a long time for Qatar Airways to finally launch their A380 service, given that it had been delayed by several months. So once the Qatar Airways A380 inaugural flight schedule was finalized, I figured I'd book a trip which would allow me to knock out both of the remaining A380s at once.
So I booked the following:
