Nutty Korean Air Executive Indicted, Could Face Up To 15 Years In Jail

Here’s your weekly update about Heather Cho, the nutty Korean Air executive who in December had an A380 bound for Seoul Incheon returned to the gate after she was displeased with the way she was served nuts. This story just took a turn for the whole-lot-more interesting, as she has now been indicted and could face up to 15 years in jail.

Last week I wrote about how she was being detained while her case was being heard, due to the cover ups by some Korean Air and government officials.

She has now been indicted on five charges. Via The Washington Post:

Air China 747-8 Flights To San Francisco As Of May 1, 2015

Air China is the second airline to take delivery of the passenger version of the Boeing 747-8, after Lufthansa.

For me the 747 is the queen of the skies, and I'm sad to slowly see it phased out. Unfortunately it's a gas guzzler, even in comparison to the A380, which is struggling to survive as well.

While Lufthansa has been flying the 747-8 for a couple of years now, Air China started flying their first Boeing 747-8 on longhaul flights today. Air China's launch 747-8 longhaul route is Beijing to New York JFK, which is now being operated daily with the following frequency:

Review: Lunch At At.mosphere Burj Khalifa Dubai

I've been to Dubai more times than I can count, but I've never actually been to the top of the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in the world. I can't say I was ever really that interested in going to the top, given that Dubai doesn't have all that impressive of a skyline aside from the Burj Khalifa. So it's not like being in a building "above" New York City or Hong Kong or London, for example.

That being said, this was a very special trip, and I wanted to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa with my dad. There are two ticket options for visiting the observation decks at the top of the Burj Khalifa:

-- At The Top (124th floor): 125-200AED (~35-55USD) per person depending on the time of day

-- At The Top Sky (148th floor) 500AED (~135USD) per person

Delta Will Overcharge You For Awards: Their Pricing Engine Is Still Very, Very Broken

Jeffrey R. emails his frustration with an ongoing Delta award booking issue — that Skymiles simply prices awards incorrectly and it’s nearly impossible to get an agent to fix matters. I’ve written for years about this issue, that some connections that are both (a) legal/permissible and (b) have award availability will not price at the […]
