Review: Qatar Airways A350 Inaugural Flight Gate Party
Inaugural flights are always interesting on of a few levels. One thing I always find especially interesting is the effort different airlines put into making them "special." Some inaugural flights have more production value than an episode of Real Housewives, while others seem like any other flight.
In theory this seems like it would be a very special flight for Qatar Airways. Not only was it their inaugural commercial A350 flight, but it was the worldwide inaugural A350 commercial flight. A few months prior I had flown the Qatar Airways A380 inaugural flight, and wrote a bit about the gate party there.
Anyway, back to this inaugural. After a few hours of solid rest at The Airport Hotel Doha Hamad International Airport, and a Krug breakfast with friends at the Al Mourjan Lounge, it was off to the gate for us at around 6:30AM.

American Will Honor Ticketed ~$450 Business Class Fares To Asia
On Tuesday I posted about the amazing ~$450 roundtrip business class fares which American published between Washington and Beijing. The deal was available for several hours before it was pulled.
Not surprisingly, American has now confirmed on Twitter that they'll honor the fare for everyone that managed to ticket their reservations, presumably thanks in no small part to the DOT regulations saying they have to do so:
