Denied Boarding For Having Cancer? Ouch!

Here's a story that can't help but make you shake your head. Earlier in the week a lady was flying Alaska Airlines from Lihue to San Jose, when she was denied boarding for having cancer.

Here's how Elizabeth Sedway, the passenger, described the incident on her Facebook page:

"Today, we were at gate 8 ready to depart on Alaska Airlines for San Jose. An airline employee saw me seated in the handicap section of the boarding area. She asked me if I needed anything. The first time. I said no. The second time, O said, well I might need a bit of extra time to board, sometimes I feel weak. Because I said the word weak, the Alaska Airlines employee called a doctor, she claimed was associated with the airlines. After we board the plane. An Alaska representative boarded the plane, and told us I could not fly without a note from a doctor stating that I was cleared to fly. The video is of us being removed from the plane."

Are You Earning 5x Points On Dining?

I recently compiled a list with the best bonuses you can earn on your credit card for everyday spend, based on the category in which you spend the most money. In that, I mentioned a few cards that consistently earn double points on dining, which is a big spending category for many of us.

I'll happily take double points the rest of the year, but for the next few months I'll be shifting all of my dining spend to my Chase Freedom®.

Why?

North American National Park #43: Hot Springs, Arkansas

Of the 59 sites with a national parks designation in the United States, the oddest of the bunch has to be Hot Springs National Park. Hot Springs isn’t a park in any real sense of the word. Not only is it the smallest national park by area, the biggest attraction has nothing to do with [...]

Best Restaurants In Beijing

This post is from my friend Matt (not the Champagne-friend Matt, a different one), who spent years living in Beijing, and is even there currently. Given that so many of us are headed there in the coming weeks, I asked him for his recommendations for the best restaurants in Beijing. Matt is a bit of a foodie, and his dining suggestions are typically spot on, so hopefully this is helpful!

Beijing is one of the great dining cities in the world. While it doesn’t quite have the world famous local cuisine of a Singapore or Tokyo, it is a place where you can find pretty much any cuisine you want at a whole range of prices (and quality).

Over the seven years I lived and worked in Beijing, I experienced as much of the food as I could. The city has changed a little bit since I lived there, but as I write this from one of my favorite spots in Beijing, there are still a number of my favorites that are doing pretty amazing things with food.

US Airlines Have Received More Subsidies than Middle East Ones

There’s an ongoing spat between United, Delta, and American Airlines on the one hand and Etihad, Emirates, and Qatar on the other. The former US airlines don’t believe they should have to compete against the large aggressive Gulf carriers which they claim are substantially subsidized by their governments. They don’t think consumers should reap the connectivity advantages, service advantages, or low prices that their prices bring. They released a report purporting to do the math on subsidies to the big Gulf carriers. I was not impressed. And I believe that the US airlines can and should compete successfully without government protectionism. A pretty big piece of research dropped that ought to play a signficant role in the debate – detailing just how subsidized the US airlines have been. While they’re throwing potshots at their competitors,…
