News and notes from around the interweb:
- Delta codeshare first class passengers on Korean Air are treated like second class passengers. No first class lounge access or ground escort, despite tickets generally being the same price.
- An average of 5 people per day need emergency medical attention inside security at the Austin airport
- Weird. My best ever landing on American Airlines was to the Commodores Brick House.
@SouthwestAir I flew out of LAX tonight where the counter agents were blasting super loud rap from a speaker. It was awful and not what I needed after a long day. No one liked it, even the agents looked pissed. What the heck??Why is that ok to do when we’re all trapped in line. pic.twitter.com/FVzCjeXzh9

- The toilet paper bouquet is what makes it.

- American is back to having more Boeing than Airbus aircraft in its fleet
- Are Delta’s changes to elite status qualification and lounge access racist?
I’m willing to bet that new Delta medallion plan has to do with the fact that Black people started achieving status.

Delta’s rule change is exactly why I stopped chasing luxury. Because every time Black people start to attain a little bit of luxury and wealth, White corporation owners just move the goal post.

- Exactly. This applies everywhere, and don’t actually stay at Circus Circus.
A little rant about the scam that is ‘Resort Fees’. Just stayed at @CircusReno where on check out I was hit with resort fees that increased the nightly price by almost 50%. The ‘fee’ is apparently for coffee in the room and gym access, things that would IMHO be included in any… pic.twitter.com/gWZJB0Kwlc

Classy
I’ve been a coach class passenger on Korean Air several times and I have always liked the flights. The food is good and the flight attendants do their jobs well. The seats are sufficiently wide and have enough pitch for a tall person like myself in the A380 across the Pacific Ocean. I also like the meals they serve. On my recent flight in early June, the Korean Professor seated next to me was still hungry after the first meal since he had taken a Volaris flight from Mexico City and had not been able to eat at the airport or on the way. I urged him to ask the flight attendant if he could get some snacks. A bit later she returned with a cup of noodles and hot water. He was happy and full after that.
who even stays at circus circus? One step down from Hooters hotel and Excalibur ewe
Racism is real, yes, but losers think their shitty reality is defined only by racism.
