The Flight Deal had an interesting Twitter conversation with the real_jetsetr (aka Michael) yesterday talking about a way to fly just Low Cost Carriers (LCC) to 6 of the 7 continents. It sounded interesting enough to write a blog post about the potential journey. Further more, see the end for a further enticement if the idea…
On an idle Saturday, I happened to be scanning twitter, and I saw this from @AirlineReporter:From the Idaho Statesman – and believe me, the title of their article is poorly done, but here it is – Passengers evacuate plane at Boise Airport after fuel leak sparks fire fearIt appears that the reason they decided to…
Airlines have tried for ages to figure out the fastest way to board a plane. In fact, other heavyweights such as the Mythbusters have dissected the issue, testing out in a scientific manner which approach is most efficient. The fact is, planes don’t make the airlines money when they sit on the ground.Today we learn…
Courtesy of Business Traveller, Singapore Airlines has unveiled a very cool and colorful looking livery (on not one, but two A380s!), meant to celebrate Singapore’s “Golden Jubilee” (which, if like me, you didn’t know off hand, celebrates the country’s 50th anniversary).It’s not a surprise when you think of how tied Singapore Airlines is to its home…

From the outset, I want to be clear: I was quite giddy about this flight. I got even more excited when I boarded. And the flight was great compared to most every other flight I’ve taken – but. There is always a but. As my wife or my friend Saianel would say: I can be a…
and everybody won! Ok… maybe not, but, there’s more to the story.A couple of weeks ago, Ed at Pizza in Motion put together a team of crack bloggers, literally, titans of BoardingArea, augmented by a few other titans in the miles and points world and media. We had the one, the only, Tommy777, who most may…
For those of you who haven’t gotten to ride on the Hello Kitty planes (I sure haven’t), here is your chance to do it. EVA Air is adding additional routes with the timeless Hello Kitty livery! But wait, there’s more! Not just do you get to enjoy how cool the outside of the plane looks…
Earlier this week, Skift reported on a seat from Zodiac Aerospace that “erases the line between business and first class.” I couldn’t disagree more with that assertion. But before I get into why I disagree with their statement, let me first offer some background about the seat.About Zodiac Aerospace’s Fusio SeatZodiac Aerospace first introduced the Fusio concept…
I know by now you’re probably used to reading my reviews of premium cabins like American Airlines, Qatar, Emirates (and even more Emirates), or Korean Air, but every so often I fly Southwest. Mostly because I got a Companion Pass through shopping portals last year. Believe it or not, I can respect Southwest’s business model, other than…
