AA LAX-SYD Flight On Sale Sunday, Inside Emirates’ Catering, Cruise line to buy a Dreamliner, Routes known only by #Avgeek

The Weekly News Roundup is a collection of headlines from around the internet that caught the attention of the Tagging Miles team. Content on these blogs do not necessarily reflect the positions of Tagging Miles, and should not be considered endorsements. Have a great story we should read? Contact us now and let us know!

Travel

  • Stop the presses! American Airlines’ Los Angeles-Sydney flight will be on sale Sunday! Set your alarm clocks, create your Expert Flyer alerts (if that’s even possible), cue the carrier pigeons! So what’s the over/under on whether they’ll load award space at the same time?
  • The Wandering Aramean wandered a mall in some–I assume–remote place of Pennsylvania, and the truest statement of his whole post: “And, perhaps the coup de grace: Spencer’s still exists, selling useless crap to another generation.” Amen.
  • Where Ian Fleming wrote the Bond Series. Worth a read, maybe even a visit.
  • And talking about Qatar Airways’ wines, the folks making the decisions did a challenging trip: To better understand the affects of taste at 30,000 feet, Cluer and a few of his colleagues recently performed a very rare challenge by sampling wines at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Talk about going the extra mile!
  • Lufthansa Flyer reports that Lufthansa has completed the First Class Cabin retrofit project. Now whenever you fly on a 747-400, you should be able to expect a bed in the sky. That is, if your 747-400 actually has a first class cabin.
  • Lucky writes that he’s becoming complacent when it comes to pursuing status in new loyalty programs. As someone who pursues status with Marriott, Hyatt, and American, I don’t have the luxury of adding another… But the only reason I stick with Marriott is the allure of eventual lifetime Platinum status.
  • Crystal Cruises will be getting a few new ships and are buying a 787 Dreamliner. Even crazier? It will have only 60 seats on it. For comparison sake, the Four Seasons 757 has 58 seats.

Miles, Points, and Credit Cards

  • Freequent Flyer has an interesting take on the travel benefits of some of the more oft-recommended cards, such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred.
  • Gary Leff reports that Chase will keep issuing Southwest Credit Cards. It’s both news, and no news.

#Avgeek

  • Australian Business Traveller goes behind the scenes at the Emirates Flight Catering Center. I’d love the chance to visit this place… although the training center (with the mock-A380 water evacuation area) is the top of my list.
  • Brian Sumers reports that United will stop 2 routes that, apparently, only #Avgeeks will miss. Guam to Cairns, Australia, and Guam to Seoul.
