News and Notes from Around the Interweb:
- Man detained on arrival after failing to flush the lavatory toilet. (HT: Milepoint)
- Tipping for more luxury on vacation
- Happy second birthday to Mommy Points!
- American has announced plans to slug it out in the New York-Los Angeles market with hourly shuttle service starting next year. That’s on top of the nine new Los Angeles routes they announced last month. I’m really looking forward to trying out American’s new narrow-body A321 premium cabin seats between New York and Los Angeles/San Francisco. While competitors offer lie-flat products, American’s will be the only three-cabin offering offering on the route. Meanwhile, Joe Brancatelli outlines the competitive landscape at LAX and is way too kinds to the airport facilities.
Aw, thanks. If you lived a little closer we could have all shared celebratory beignets. Any excused for something fried and covered in powdered sugar. 😉
Regarding the tipping story, how would you ask for your money back if the agent pocketed the $100 and just gave you an “upgrade” to a corner room or something pathetic like that?
Gary:
Do you know if American is going to retire the 767-200’s, reconfigure them for two class service or reroute them of different routes? (JFK-MIA) My favorite plane. When deployed and no business class, coach advantage elites could set in business class. I will miss these planes
I for one wouldn’t mind if Obama spent a bunch on redesigning LAX.
Mentioning a lame useless blog like Mommy Points is a shame on an esteemed blog like yours, Gary.
MommyPoints is one of several niche blogs that cater toward subsets of flyers – family flyers, new flyers, women flyers, etc. and etc. Definitely not lame in any way.
