The Death of FEBO: American’s New Meal Ordering Procedure Starts September 1

When the US Airways and American merger finally got the go-ahead, airline President Scott Kirby promised that US Airways would adopt American’s higher standards. For meals, though, what’s actually happened is that the two airlines are splitting the difference. Roughly speaking American served meals on two hour flights and US Airways on three and a […]

Hyatt Place New York Mistake Rate?

I was looking up rates at some New York City Hyatt properties (okay, who am I kidding, I was trying to see if the Park Hyatt New York began releasing standard rooms into award availabilit) for next year), and stumbled upon something interesting with the rates at the Hyatt Place New York.

I was sorting hotels by price, and shockingly enough the most expensive hotel wasn't the Park Hyatt New York, but rather the Hyatt Place, which I was expecting to be on the other end of the price spectrum. But the Hyatt Place was pricing for $1,234+ per night.

How to Book Air France and KLM With Delta SkyMiles

As many of you may know, Delta’s access to award availability on flights operated by Air France and KLM is abysmal. There are many reasons why SkyPesos is a term commonly used to refer to Delta SkyMiles and this is certainly one of them. This issue is compounded by the fact that Air France’s and […]

What are the Largest Airlines – in the US and in the World?

The winner of the crown among the World’s Largest Airlines – such as it is, since it’s hardly as meaningful a metric as ‘best airline’ or ‘most profitable airline’ — is American Airlines, now that they’ve merged with US Airways. When Delta merged with Northwest it became the largest airline in the United States. Then […]

Signs You Spend Too Much Time On Planes?

In June I compiled a list of 10 signs you spend too much time in hotels, and asked you guys to pile on with your thoughts. I was working on a similar list for 10 signs that you spend too much time on planes, though I think last night I had an experience which just sums it all up in one.

I flew Frankfurt to New York in the morning on Singapore, which is as far as I know the earliest transatlantic flight out of Frankfurt (it leaves at 8:30AM). I both love and hate that, since it means you get to New York early enough to avoid rush hour, but also have a long day ahead of you for staying awake.

After a long day I changed into my (British Airways first class) jammies and hopped in bed. I then spent 30 seconds looking for the seatbelt, because I was tired and didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night if there was turbulence.

16 quotes from young travelers

"We’re all birds at heart."

I Was Asked To Power On Electronics At Security

In early July I posted about the new TSA policy which was implemented at overseas airports, whereby powerless electronic devices wouldn't be permitted on planes.

Yesterday I experienced that -- along with "targeted" secondary security -- for the first time. It was no big deal at all, but I figured I'd share my experience, since it was a first.

I was flying from Frankfurt to New York on Singapore Airlines, and when I went to board the plane the machine that scans boarding passes beeped several times. The agent told me I needed to go to the ticket desk for a document check, though once there I was directed to the side of the gate, where two police offers told me to sit down.
