I hadn't actually heard of WOW Air until I visited Iceland this summer, where they were advertising all over the airport. They're an Icelandic low cost carrier and started operations in 2011, so are still very new. They exclusively operate a fleet of A320s, each of which features 174 seats spread across 29 rows, with 29-30" of pitch per row.
What's really cool is that they announced service to the United States today. Via airlineroute.net, WOW Air will begin flights to Boston and Baltimore as of 2015.
As of March 27, 2015, WOW Air will begin 6x weekly flights between Reykjavik and Boston, as follows:
WW125 Reykjavik to Boston departing 3:35PM arriving 5:50PM
WW126 Boston to Reykjavik departing 6:55PM arriving 4:05AM (+1 day)

I received an email from ANA this evening with the following subject line:
"Business class in-flight meals on flights to Japan from December 2014!"
You heard it here first, folks! ANA will serve food in business class starting in December 2014! ;)
Now some people will say "Lucky, stop picking on them, you can't speak a lick of Japanese." That's true... but I'm also not trying to run a marketing campaign in Japanese... in Japan. ;)
Anyway, what ANA is really trying to announce is that they're partnering with some pretty popular hotel chains and restaurants for their in-flight menus.

Over the weekend I took a domestic flight on American Airlines where the first class cabin was only half full. There were two factors at play, as I tweeted, 1) it’s Saturday 2) I like the @AmericanAir upgrade system please don’t change it.. American and US Airways Have to Decide How to Handle Upgrades as […]

While I was flying in first class and therefore had access to the first class lounge, the business class lounge is actually much more impressive. For that matter, whenever I've heard people raving about this lounge, they've been referring to the business class section and not the first class section.
The entrance to the Star Alliance Business Class Lounge is right across from the Star Alliance First Class Lounge entrance, though there’s also a door between the back of the first and business class lounge, which is how I got between them.
The Star Alliance Lounge is massive, and thanks to the variety of seating areas, I don’t think it ever feels overcrowded.
Near the entrance is more traditional lounge style seating, with plenty of outlets at each seat. They have nice "curtains" between seating areas to make the lounge feel more private and intimate.

I checked into a Hyatt Regency property late on recent evening. Three’s a store in the lobby, and it had just closed. I asked at check-in whether there was anywhere else I might get water. The agent checking me in just told me to take the bottles in the room, they have a price tag […]
