There's no denying this has been a really emotional week in the airline industry, especially as more and more details of the Germanwings crash unfold.
While I'm not trying to downplay that, I do think a bit of laughter every once in a while is a good thing. Let me preface this by saying that the below is not totally suitable for work, so if you're easily offended by bad language or don't have the same sense of humor as a 12 year old, then please skip this post.
But there was a Reddit thread yesterday in the TIFU section ("Today I F*cked Up"), entitled "TIFU by eating gummy bears on a plane."

Hello from Florida!
This has been a bittersweet week in the miles and points world as we've said farewell to the US Airways Dividend Miles program.
Many of my thoughts have also been with the friends and family of those aboard the Germanwings flight, and what this means for the industry going forward.

Reader WR asked for “[w]ays to maximize miles *without* use of credit cards.” I’ll take the question to mean, what are the best ways to earn miles without signing up for credit cards, or using credit cards as the means of earning miles (through bonus categories, or heavy spend – manufactured or not). I’ll allow […]

I've reviewed Cathay Pacific first class many times before. I've actually reviewed Cathay Pacific first class on this exact route when I took my mom on a "round" birthday trip in the summer of 2013.
For the past couple of years I've been trying to avoid Cathay Pacific as much as possible, since I do aim to review as many new products as possible. And they're just so damn good and consistent that there's not really much I can say about them that I haven't said before.
That being said, they did change some of their service procedures lately, so I figured I'd give them another shot. And in this case I actually had to be in Hong Kong in a timely manner, and this was the option that worked best.
Boarding commenced at 1:35PM, which was a bit behind schedule. I boarded through door 2L, at which point I was greeted by Debbie, the inflight manager.

Last week a friend sent me a link to some LimoLand airplane-themed swim trunks which were for sale on mrporter.com... for $250. Now, maybe I'm not keeping up with the times, but $250 for swim trunks?!?!? REALLY?!
I was inspired by the idea, though, so did some more searching online. Eventually I came across similar LimoLand airplane-themed swim trunks which were on sale for $129 at barneyswarehouse.com.
On one hand I really couldn't wrap my head around how swim trunks could cost that much. On the other hand, I live in hotels and out of a carry-on, so what I've learned over time is that I'd rather have a few items I love, rather than a bunch of items I moderately like. After all, when your wardrobe is limited to a carry-on, you don't get as much variety as someone that has a closet.
