News and notes from around the interweb:
- W Washington returns to its roots as Hotel Washington right next to Old Ebbitt Grill, in fact I used to use Old Ebbitt’s complimentary valet parking at dinner and walk next door to Hotel Washington for their rooftop lounge which features one of the best views in the city.
- Passengers and Frontier Airlines staff join forces to capture a rat.
@randymulvaney ONLY AT FRONTIER AIRLINES MCO CAN YOU FIND THIS
- An Air India pilot is under investigation after allowing a female travel companion sit in the cockpit on a flight he was working, and demanding the flight attendants serve her meals and beverages on the flight deck.
- SkyTeam member Kenya Airways, whose largest shareholder is the government of Kenya, is teetering.
DP Gachagua: Kenya Airways is facing very serious financial challenges. KQ is hardly able to meet its operating expenses. KQ is on its deathbed because of state capture. The gov’t is holding discussions on possible reforms to get KQ back on track

- Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon causing an internet stir after being spotted flying IndiGo, a low cost carrier with no premium cabin.
- The subsidies Breeze Airways is getting to serve Charleston, West Virginia
To go back to the days when even economy was too much for the entitled.
Friends, family, and I have flown IndiGo. IndiGO is fine.
I never have flown Air India, despite being tempted by a low fare on several of my trips to DEL; as long as these disgusting stories continue to cement its bad reputation, I probably never will.
Look at the self identifying lollipops running from a little rodent.
Tata should have merged Air India into Vistara rather than the other way around. Going to be extremely difficult to turn around that culture.
I like the janitor guy who tried to catch the rat in his dustpan like it’s a some kind of a net, succeeded(!), and when the rat easily and predictably escaped, didn’t give up and continued to do exactly the same. This is a story of Covid-fighting measures (or any government measures for that matter) in 3 seconds. The guy should be promoted to our new transportation secretary
Looks like decent legroom on that IndiGO plane, or is it that Indians are not as overweight as pax in other countries.
@BigTee
