When Kids Scream on a Plane, the Best Approach is Not to Slam Someone’s Head on an Overhead Bin

So you know things have gone too far when a pilot threatens an emergency landing over your behavior. Of course, it’s always the other person’s fault, right? A brawl involving three women erupted on a Chinese flight from to Chongqing to Hong Kong yesterday when two of them complained to a mum that her baby […]

American Eagle Supervisor To Me: “Do I Need To Call Law Enforcement?”

So I flew American yesterday from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles to New York in first class. I planned a long layover in Los Angeles so I could visit the new Qantas First Lounge since it was opening day (more on that later).

The flight from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles was operated by a Mesaba CRJ-900, so I had to check my bag plane side.

That means at the gate they put a tag on your bag, and then at the bottom of the jet bridge a ramper takes the bag. When you check a bag plane side you receive it upon arrival at your immediate destination (this is different than gate checking a bag, where it's tagged to your final destination). Plane side bags don't have electronic tags in most cases, since they're literally just being hand-carried about 20 feet to the plane, and then loaded on a cart for passengers to claim as they disembark.

I always make a point of being nice to the ramp agents as they take my bag from the jet bridge, since the fate of my bag rests in their hands. So as I handed the ramper my bag I smiled and said "thanks so much, I really appreciate it."

Up To 50,000 US Airways Miles For Referring Friends

I can't tell yet if this is targeted, or if Barclaycard is slowly rolling this out to all cardholders, but it appears at least some US Airways Premier World MasterCard® holders are getting an offer to refer their friends to the card and receive 5,000 bonus points for each approved application.

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, this is the biggest public bonus I recall ever seeing on the card.

The normal sign-up bonus on the card is around 40,000 miles, so this is a great sign-up bonus.
