Apparently things started because the video’s creator ran into an issue with a JetBlue booking, didn’t get a confirmation, and is unhappy with the customer service JetBlue provided (although he acknowledges that JetBlue offered to reduce their change fee for him). In response to what he considered unhelpful customer service, he sent out a series […]

Google has challenged its own ad-funded business model by launching Contributor.
It's a US service (for now) that asks users for a monthly subscription in return for ad-free access to the web.
Those who pay between $1 and $3 a month will be able to read some websites that have a thank you message instead of ads.
They also won’t be tracked by Google.
Earlier I wrote about how Club Carlson is offering a Cyber Monday 100% bonus on purchased points.
I figured I'd post a quick update that this deal is now live, through 11:59PM CST today, Monday, December 1, 2014.
The catch -- which wasn't initially clarified -- is that you're limited to receiving a 100% bonus on 10,000 points. That means that through this promotion you can receive a maximum of 20,000 points for $70, which is 0.35 cents per point.

I love the way that the Middle Eastern carriers are elevating the travel experience, in many ways beyond what’s supported economically by a profitable business model for the airline narrowly conceived. Here’s Etihad’s strategy for lighting huge sums of money on fire to build Abu Dhabi into a global aviation hub, investing in money-losing airlines […]

Well, you're all winners in my book. ;)
In his post this past Thursday, Travis was giving away two $25 off Hertz certificates. To enter you just had to say what you were thankful for this Thanksgiving.

As I've said many times before, I'm a big fan of in-flight internet. I don't actually remember how transcons worked in the days before Gogo.
I have a Gogo Unlimited plan for $44.95 per month, which is well worth the money to me. I believe the cost is now $59.95 per month, though they've grandfathered in people with old pricing plans. While it's certainly not cheap, it's a bargain compared to what they're charging nowadays for individual flight passes, which can often be ~$25.
Anyway, I just received the following email from Gogo:
