News and notes from around the interweb:
- Getting in the way of a golf cart ride at the Miami airport is a NSFW experience. You get that ride and you feel important! Everyone must clear the way! This passenger lets them know it, too. In one of the most offensive ways possible. The driver gives him looks – and finally kicks him off the cart, “I’m serious.”

- American, which has more mishandled wheelchairs than anyone else by a lot, is reminding employees about proper procedures.
- “All new travel experience” coming to Singapore Airlines in first half of 2026
- The Hawaiian Airlines Plumeria Lounge was removed from Priority Pass in the spring, but starting November 24 the Premier lounge will join. As bad as the Plumeria lounge is, the Premier lounge is actually worse. This was Plumeria:
People are standing in line to get into this lounge.

- Respect. This passenger handles it like a pro.
The video shows a man on a Vietnam Airlines flight trying to keep his cool while a toddler keeps kicking his seat again and again. The mother does nothing to stop it and never apologizes, leaving him to just sit there and put up with it. pic.twitter.com/WeuvUhcOuE

- An Airbus A380 is very big. If I wasn’t sure the gate I was being sent to was configured to accept it, I wouldn’t taxi there on my own either.
Emirates pilots refused to take the assigned gate in Toronto — and it sounds like they were simply doing their due diligence.
The gate had only very recently (possibly its first day in use) been approved for A380 operations, so the pilots’ paperwork was out of date and the… pic.twitter.com/fZEHGhBLzx— Turbine Traveller (@Turbinetraveler) November 16, 2025
- Emirates will move to Starlink. It’s the best wifi currently in the market, and installs are quick – do it in a single overnight.
What is wrong with some people; glad the lady on the cart kicked them off.
That lounge you said people are lining up for looks like a high school cafeteria.
Safety first. When you are an American Airlines ConciergeKey elite taking advantage of your complimentary golf cart joyride at MIA, using an air horn is a much more effective warning method to move passengers out of the way so they won’t get squished when run over by the cart.
Yeah, we all know who the jackasses we’re.
@ 1990 — You’re just now asking this?
I’ll virtually guarantee that the Louis Vuitton was fake
@Thing 1 — Yeah, the individuals misbehaving; what did you mean?
@Ken A — “Yes, comrade Dyatlov… Safety First. Always.”
@1990:
Of course she kicked them off. The real question is why she didn’t do it while moving.
Please stop posting the attention seekers like the golf cart guys who make the videos so they can get more attention and clicks on Twitter or YouTube. It only encourages them and waste my time.
One time I was at the airport and a woman spilled her coffee. I was really surprised that wasn’t covered here.
Every time this blog posts a ridiculous, inane, irrelevant article like this, I am reminded that I need to unsubscribe. Today is the day.
@AlanZ — Something, something… 8th Amendment… something.
@Waldo Pepper — But, but… clicks and ad revenue and referral commissions…
couldn’t see if loudmouth had his red hat on or not..
There are 2 types of carts at MIA. The one for passengers with mobility and one for CKs. I almost always reject the CK cart. Maybe if I needed to get to a gate in the lower D and didn’t have much time. Unfortunately, no Escalades at MIA.
@George Romey — Nice ‘humble brag,’ sir. Enjoy your ‘lower D.’
The person who doesn’t understand the reason for lines must not understand what lines are for. Based on the pictures it seems fairly full already, if they let everyone in who wanted in it would be crowded and uncomfortable. So they set a max capacity, and you have to wait in line til people leave. Simple common sense.
Kids can act up. At least the guy on Vietnam Airlines kept his cool.
@1990 — As deputy chief engineer, Dyatlov practiced safety first until the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced an international nuclear and radiological major accident.
@Ken A — During the post-accident Soviet show-trial in 1987, Dyatlov said he was “in the baaathroom!!” during that ‘accident,’ so perhaps he was still practicing ‘safety first,’ after all.
Gary- that’s one nice Plumeria lounge! I waited 45 minutes to get admitted to the one in Maui, only to find they only had a bowl full of taro potato chips and a couple of pitchers full of water and iced tea. No soda machines or pork sliders for us!
I can tell you why people lined up for Plumeria Lounge HNL: Free Maui Brewing Co. Bikini Blonde Lager!
But yeah, not much beyond that.
