News and notes from around the interweb:

• JetBlue eliminates hot meals on transatlantic flights in coach the cost cuts continue, though JonNYC says (1) this decision could be reversed, but (2) to expect more cuts to their business class service.

  Honestly their business class soft product is too good, but they have a dilemma: on the one hand, they’re losing too much money across the Atlantic to support a good service, on the other hand these cuts won’t drive a revenue premium to reverse that.

• United’s new Southeast Asian destination won’t be included with this month’s route announcements, according to aviation watchdog JonNYC:

  But not to be announced this round I feel.

• If you have a baby with you, an Uber driver can refuse to pick up you: if you don’t have a car seat, they can cancel the ride, but if you have a car seat and they don’t want it installed in their car they can cancel the ride.

  Apparently it’s @uber policy that babies in legal car seats – which is what the baby with us was in – can be denied a ride. Good to know and I’ll make my ride share decisions accordingly moving forward. pic.twitter.com/P5l8O03ano

• Wife laughs as husband keeps getting stopped by TSA for bringing spices with them on trips
