News and notes from around the interweb:
- TSA’s plan to allow non-REAL ID compliant drivers licenses after the next pushed back May 2025 REAL ID deadline
- Point.me has raised a $10 million Series A. What I like about the service is that not only do they do a comprehensive job finding available awards, but they check their work, and they walk you through everything to do it yourself – from making the frequent flyer account you need, linking it to a credit card transfer program, and even making the booking. I work with point.me now for my Book Your Award.
- Delta used to clean its planes, episode 9,742.

- Bars in a Greek resort town are gathering half-finished drinks and re-selling them to tourists
- What country has the best food, and what country’s food is best?
Why did United ask if it had been brought to the FA attention? They are just there for safety, not clean up. Right?
Bought the 5$ 24 hr pass and I played around on points.me
While I love the concept, rewards searches came back with wildly different results. Often Etihad Guest came back with many 3,000,000+ 795 surcharges, just very unreasonable numbers
Often airlines I know have award space wouldn’t show up, and the airline wouldn’t show up at all (alaska program searches)
I hope it get’s sorted out
WOW, AA planes are way cleaner these days. . .Thanks Kirby for dragging UA down even further (BTW seatback screen won’t impress) and DL is showing that dollar is more important then service.
