News and notes from around the interweb:
- US tourist fined for driving rental car over medieval Italian bridge (HT: Paul H)
- Delta still offers reasonable business class awards on partner airlines – as long as the itinerary isn’t to/from North America
- Ten years ago an American Airlines flight attendant gave us “Brick House” as our landing music. This agent on the jet bridge in Miami is perfect.

- Paging Goldilocks Airlines. Asian carriers keep their cabins too hot, American Airlines…
@AmericanAir Flight AA1836 from SJU to CLT today was unreasonably cold. The entire plane was freezing for the duration of the flight, but our business class section was blowing the coldest air. Everyone was in coats or blankets and still shivering. Hope you fix that plane! pic.twitter.com/w3ZnwQVHaq

Asian carriers do not keep cabins “too hot”. It’s their regional cultural preference. Pretty shocking to see this level of disrespect for other ways of life, on this supposedly worldly travel blog.

I’m Asian, and I can tell you that heat is NOT a cultural preference. Not sure where you get this info, but please stop with this nonsense.
Gary, I very interesting use of Delta miles in what you posted.
If flying Syd-Lax-mexico, do you need to pick up your bags in LAX or only if on a domestic connection?
An amazing opportunity if true.
