News and notes from around the interweb:
- Former Miss USA Olivia Culpo is still trolling American Airlines over being asked to cover up in order to fly.
- Alaska is refreshing its Seattle and Portland lounges
- Former Hawaii Senate Majority Leader charged with taking bribes the bribes were Vegas hotel rooms and cash to buy restaurant meals for family. At least Bob Menendez was more sophisticated, using Membership Rewards points (and he got off).
- Some Asia Miles earned before 2020 can be made non-expiring. Miles earned since then don’t expire with ongoing activity in an account.
- Ewan McGregor’s Expedia Super Bowl Ad (long version):
- ‘There’s no I in Team’ (It seems the issue is that customers were calling to get rebooked, because they knew at the airport their flight had irregular ops, but American’s systems didn’t yet update and reservations continued to see on-time.)
@AmericanAir Y’all have got to improve your teamwork! You got 100 passengers and two flight attendants telling us to call to be rescheduled and your call center won’t reschedule!?! 😡#Airplane #Travel pic.twitter.com/PYBLeoPB5o

Olivia Culpo is a beautiful woman
Olivia Culpo is beautiful and American Airlines is known to suck. Won’t take a genius to know which side the public opinion will fall.
Olivia Culpo represents what women should aspire to be. Educated, beautiful, refined, self-confident.
Beauty has a lot of depth, and I am not just talking about superficial appearance, which can be changed dramatically with various forms of makeup (temporary or permanent) or even surgery. Beauty encompasses one’s personality as well. Olivia Culpo is a beautiful person.
Education, which is one reason Olivia Culpo won Miss USA, is such a powerful thing. And it confers class. We often associate the term “low class” with poverty, but it is more correct to associate it with education. Education opens one’s mind to the world. Just like travel. Travel is a form of education.
Refinement and etiquette are at risk of being lost arts in modern society, but Olivia Culpo is a good role model and hope for the future. This is another reason she won Miss USA. She is not a rude bee-yotch.
Self-confidence is key to mental health and key to success in life financially. Olivia Culpo is a brilliant example of a self-confident woman. Thanks to Olivia Culpo women have another role model to look up to and boost their own self-confidence.
When I think of Olivia Culpo, one song comes to mind. She’s so high above me, she’s so lovely, like Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite.
Shame on American Airlines for making an enemy of Olivia Culpo. Shame on the front line staff who created the mess. Shame on the corporate staff who neglected to make amends.
Olivia Culpo is beautiful! And a lovely woman.
But yet… is three times trolling?
Considering all her other accomplishments, is this her fame now?
That’s Miss UNIVERSE, my good man.
Good grief ! Yeah, everybody gets your hot for her. Give it up already. Tired of both of you.
Honestly I appreciate the updates on her. I became a fan thanks to your blog and find the little news ad-ons on her entertaining. You’re not making full posts on just her, people can just ignore that part of the segments if they don’t like it.
Publicity!
As there are both female and male readers . . . just for the record . . . Big Booty, 1) what was your birth gender and 2) what is your current gender self-identification?
I don’t have the hots for Olivia Culpo. I have a girlfriend and the hots for her.
I’m saying simply, and repeatedly, that Olivia Culpo is beautiful.
Beautiful women like Olivia Culpo deserve to be uplifted, and one need not have the hots for her to do so.
Women like Olivia Culpo make the world a happier place with their beauty.
On my evening commute, I encountered an aggressive driver. I wanted to ram his car. Rather than lash out and get charged with assault, I simply viewed the Instagram feed of Olivia Culpo and my mind was set at ease by her beauty.
Reno Joe, where did you learn your manners, or lack thereof? What compels you to ask such personal questions? They are irrelevant in the face of Olivia Culpo’s incredible beauty.
Men, women, and non-binary can all appreciate the beauty of Olivia Culpo.
God created women like Olivia Culpo to make the world more beautiful.
Olivia Culpo is my universe, and I just want to put her first.
Olivia Culpo makes my heart light up inside.
I sometimes ponder would the world be better if all women were as beautiful as Olivia Culpo? Or are ugly people needed to counterbalance and allow us to appreciate beauty to its fullest?
There’s a polar opposite to Olivia Culpo and his name is Jackson Waterson.
@Gary, can you block spam posters? Hate to suggest it, but it might be warranted in certain situations.
Big Booty, does your girlfriend know how you feel about Olivia Culpo?
Luke Vader, what’s wrong with you? My comments aren’t spam, first of all. Second of all, it seems you feel entitled to filter a public comment section to your own whims. Isn’t that the height of selfish behavior? Go to hell, you’re the opposite of the kind of positivity that Olivia Culpo, Miss Universe, spreads across the universe.
And be honest! You don’t hate to say it. You love to say it. So much so that this trivial thing which doesn’t affect your life at all, some stranger’s comment on the internet, compels you to take time out of your day to suggest it’s banned. You love to say it.
Reno Joe, yes, my girlfriend and I are feminists who love to empower women and spread empowerment and positive role models to women around the country.
If this is true, there’s other things better to do such as hitting the treadmill and losing weight.
@gary
idiots like that former miss usa exist only because bloggers report it, if no one reports than no one cares..except her idiotic followers
I also might add Gary that you should delete or limit the posts by your moronic serial replier big booty….control the animals gary
@doug are you the doug from canada, if so please go to hell
@doug Miss USA predates the existence of blogs
@doug Can you go to hell?
indeed I am, and hell is where ignorant primitive beings like you live, somewhere in the dark south of the usa, judging by the obvious reference in the language of your “name”
you are a lonely obese lesbian with a massive chip on your shoulder….laughable
The world needs love right about now.
Big Booty, while I appreciate and support your intentions of raising up women, the tenor and volume of your comments as a whole would seem to undermine support from the general readership. The tenor and volume or your comments as a whole seem to be those of a narcissistic adolescent loser whose only path to self worth is to disturb poop on travel blogs.
By the way, anonymous personalities on blogs don’t suffer damages from defamation.
She’s an IDIOT !!!!
Zero between the ears and nothing but a publicity seeking troll….
Yet MORE corrupt demokkkrat slime… big f’n surprise…
*rolleyes*
Serious question: Are they ANY demokkkrats that AREN’T corrupt, criminal traitors (besides Manchin and Sinema)?? ANYWHERE??
And…not one person has remarked (so far) about the gate agent on video trying to help those poor stranded AA passengers…
Big Booty needs a restraining order against him. When someone spends that much time to make that many comments, something is not right. Is he on a watch list? NYC Bellevue Hospital letting people access to the internet?
@Amazing Larry – your entire party is defined by fascist, anti-democratic, racist scumbag anti-vaxxing misinformation-spreading mouth breathers much like you…so go F yourself, cuck.
UA-NYC, not that I have a dog in this fight, but did you forget to include nose-picking and knuckle-dragging?
Amazing Larry, to be balanced, let’s not forget those corrupt individuals on the other side of the aisle. Remember that Dennis Hastert — the longest ever serving Republican Speaker of the House — is a convicted felon (structuring bank transactions to conceal an illegal purpose). Remember former Republican elected leaders who have been convicted of or are currently under investigation for illegally representing foreign governments. And, the list goes on. The fact is that they are all corrupt. (Brought to you by a non-Democrat, non-liberal.)
