United Diminishes Partner Mileage Earnings Rates

Over the past couple of years we've seen Delta and United both switch to at least somewhat revenue based frequent flyer programs. Delta and United both:

-- Require you to spend a certain amount of money to get status

-- Award redeemable miles based on how much you spend as opposed to how much you fly

-- Still award elite qualifying miles based on how much you fly

In other words, to be rewarded you can't just spend a lot or fly a lot. You have to do both. And that's fair enough...

Here’s What Happens When Alec Baldwin “Gets Bumped” From First Class on Delta…

The Alec Baldwin story comes to us from the New York Daily News so it’s a bit hyperbolic. The lead is that Baldwin “was bumped to coach on a red-eye home from Sundance” although reading the story he appears to have had a first class ticket but he changed flights onto one without any first […]

Qantas Introduces Ridiculous First Class Inflight Entertainment

I can appreciate when airlines innovate their inflight entertainment.

For example, last August British Airways announced the introduction of a "Paws and Relax" TV channel, whereby you could watch nothing but cute pets. Brilliant!

Well Qantas just announced that they'll be introducing virtual reality inflight entertainment. I can't decide whether this is ridiculously awesome, or just ridiculous.

Here's how Qantas describes the new offering:
