Questions That Are Rarely Asked: Airport Parking

About a month ago I offered the first in a series, Questions That Are Rarely Asked. (Why do flight attendants have to collect pre-departure beverage cups, but you’re allowed to keep the beverage you brought onboard yourself?) Today’s entry concerns airport parking: why are there always so many empty spaces, and more specifically why don’t […]

They've been doing it for centuries, but that doesn't make carrying barrels of fire through English towns any less astounding.

2. Your attitude towards the perpetual rain is to be as unprepared as possible. You scoff at dry tourists covered in rain gear while you cower in a doorway.

American Adds Second Daily Los Angeles To London Flight

As a general rule of thumb, the tougher upgrades are on a route, the higher yield the route is. It's not a science, but generally it's true. And when it comes to American Airlines, there's no denying that Los Angeles to London Heathrow is one of the toughest upgrades in the system, even for top tier Executive Platinum members.

American will start a second daily Boeing 777-300ER flight between Los Angeles and London Heathrow as of March 28, 2015.

This complements the twice daily A380 service by their joint venture partner, British Airways.
