I put "mileage run" in quotes because it's not really a mileage run. Nowadays mileage running is for the most part dead, in my opinion. But there's still plenty of merit to finding good fares on fun routings for maximizing miles, ideally with stops at fun places in the process.
Oddly while economy airfare has increased drastically over the past several years, we've seen more discounted premium cabin revenue tickets lately than I ever recall seeing. Why? Probably because airlines are actually doing everything in their power to maximize revenue, rather than opening up award space or letting seats fly empty.

The Nira Caledonia hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland, is offering a "50 Plaids of Wa-Hay" package. This package is described as follows:

Fights in Russia aren't exactly novel. I mean, I think half of YouTube is made of Russian dash cam road rage videos, like this one.
But it's not every day you see a fight break out on an airplane. In this case it's not nearly as "graphic" or climactic as some of the dash cam videos, but it's still well worth a few minutes, in my opinion.
Questions that immediately spring to mind include:
