LOT Polish Adds Mistletoe To Their Planes

Here's a simple but cute idea. Through January 6, 2015, LOT Polish is hanging a mistletoe on each of their airplanes.

Here's the press release:

"LOT Polish Airlines has kicked off the Christmas holidays with KISSaLOT. Mistletoe twigs have been hung in each of LOT's aircraft--the highest place in the world--through Jan. 6, 2015. It's the airline's way of bringing people together."

Review Of Qatar Airways Airbus A350 Delivery Ceremony

On Monday I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Airbus Delivery Center in Toulouse, France.

The occasion was to celebrate the delivery of the first Airbus A350 to Qatar Airways, which is the plane’s launch customer. There were about 150 media people invited from all over the world.

They really went over the top with the event, as I’ll cover in more detail below. There were two press dinners (neither of which I attended), an amazing ceremony, and a 45 minute media flight on the Airbus A350.

To start, here's a short clip that Airbus made, with the highlights of the ceremony:

Hiring A Babysitter At A Hotel

My wife and I tried something new on this trip – we hired a babysitter for a night! I know, that probably doesn’t seem very revolutionary, but for us it was. Although we have a part-time nanny at home who helps out a few days during the week, we pretty much exclusively take care of our own munchkins on the road.

As I’ve previously mentioned, I was the best man in a dear friend’s wedding in Penang this past weekend. The wedding was in the evening, and was scheduled to be followed by a multi-course meal. We wanted the kids, Squirt and Squeaker, to attend the wedding – they were both participating as flower children – but figured that by the time the party was finished, it would be way past their bedtime. And we all know that would not have ended well for us or anybody else!

So we hired a babysitter.

Singapore to Allow Driverless Cars in 2015!

Many people think of Singapore as just a stopover, but it’s one of my favorite places with a very special food culture. There are certainly reasonable complaints about the city state, especially if you’re a resident rather than a visitor. For both better and worse they have a truly unique governance system. They are both […]

Arrest Warrant Being Sought For Nutty Korean Air Executive

It has been over a week since I've written about one of the nuttiest incidents the airline industry has ever seen, whereby a Korean Air executive had an A380 turned around because she was served nuts in a bag instead of on a plate.

To start, for those of you that have been living under a rock, see these previous posts:
