Here's two breakfasts served on Transatlantic flights in economy class. The flights were roughly the same distance, and took about 6 hours 45 or so to get from A to B. Both of these breakfasts were served within three weeks of each other. Your job is to identify the carriers in question. Who served what? This should be easy for my Twitter followers (as … [Read more...]

When a two hour ground stop turns into a 7 hour delay….
Good morning from Washington DC where currently, I'm recovering from the exhaustion of Thursday... and enjoying a bit of BAcon. And with good reason.

Welcome to the USA. With Poor Planning and inadequate staff (Philly Airport)
There's nothing like coming to the USA, and being a victim of poor planning and having inadequate staff. Good evening from what is turning into a class one ominishambles of a trip from Philadelphia Airport. But I'm not going to focus on American Airlines performance today... (that's later). Rather, it's the turn of the US Customs and Border Patrol and my old friends - the … [Read more...]
