While Air Canada Warns Pilots About Porn, Other Airlines Use it in Their Ads

Air Canada is warning pilots to stop leaving porn in the cockpit. Because pornography is meant for airline advertising only. Here is VietJet’s sexy airline ads — a ‘leaked’ campaign with flight attendant models in bikinis. There are ‘complaints’. Which is the same thing as ‘buzz’ which is, after all, the point. I’m not sticking […]

This Airline Excuse Always Means Customers Are Getting Hosed

Earlier this week American changed its checked baggage policy effective October 1. Like US Airways, it will no longer interline bags on separate tickets although they’re a little more generous than legacy US Airways — because they’ll still do it if the flights involved are on oneworld airlines. They’ve at least now informed travel agents […]

Signs You Fly Too Much: Haircut Edition

I'm in Chicago this week and am facing a #FFFWP (Frequent Flyer First World Problem). I need to get my hairs did. Like, desperately. If I grow any more hair on my head I'll have to pay the in-cabin pet fee the next time I fly.

The only problem is I hate small talk, especially when the person I'm having small talk with has scissors up against my head. So I do what I can to go to either of my "regular" places in Tampa or Seattle. I mean, maybe that sounds crazy to some, but I still fly to Seattle to go to the dentist, because she's so friendly and awesome.

Yesterday I figured I'd be brave and try to get my hairs did in Chicago. I asked a friend for a recommendation -- he immediately thought of a place nearby that "wasn't inexpensive." That works for me. I called, and their prices for mens cuts ranged from $83 to $120. $83 to $120?!? Does it include a back rub, happy ending, and bottomless Krug?! Or are these really the "market prices" for haircuts in major cities nowadays?
