All Hope Is Not Lost: American Airlines Actually Does the Right Thing

The vast majority of the times anyone (myself included) tells a customer service story involving an airline, it is usually because the airline did something wrong. However, airlines are not as evil as they sometimes seem to be — every once in a while they will do something to prove that they’re not completely out […]

In An Emergency Evacuation LEAVE ALL CARRY-ONS BEHIND

Here's something which I'll never understand. While I don't claim to always pay perfect attention to safety videos, surely we've all heard the line about leaving all carry-on items behind in the event of an emergency.

And if you haven't heard it and are in the unfortunate situation to have an emergency evacuation, you'll surely hear it when the flight attendant repeatedly yells at the top of his/her lungs to leave all carry-on items behind.

Yesterday a US Airways flight at Denver International Airport had to be evacuated via the emergency slides due to smoke in the cabin. And there's a video of the evacuation:

LaGuardia Airport Closed Until 7PM, Expect Delays Elsewhere

As if the weather on the East Coast wasn't bad enough (sorry, I can't relate, it's 70 and sunny here in Southern California), it looks like you can expect even more travel delays in the NYC area today.

A Delta MD-80 skidded off the runway at LaGuardia Airport. Fortunately there were no injuries, though LaGuardia Airport is shut down until at least 7PM today.

So if you're supposed to fly into or out of LaGuardia Airport today, or any other NYC-area airport, for that matter, you may want to check your flight status.
