News and notes from around the interweb:
- Turkish Airlines suspends all flights to Libya
- Starwood improves its best rate guarantee: choose 2000 points or 20% (rather than 10%) off if you find a better qualifying rate through a non-Starwood channel. (Here’s a tutorial on generating savings and even free nights with Best Rate Guarantee programs.)
- United starts installing wifi on regional aircraft.
- Did the Wright Brothers steal credit from Ancient Indians? I’m skeptical.
- Operation ‘Bad Gifts’ seized $450,000 of fake designer goods at New York JFK before the holidays. They claim they were protecting consumers, rather than protecting companies.
- Cathay Pacific is eliminating their thrice-weekly second Chicago – Hong Kong flight effective March 23. That’s too bad, as two Chicago flights was a boon for booking awards.
- Twitter provides toilet paper to desperate man on train

So, this is just “interesting” but not a “must read”?
Umm, we’re on CX807 in June… UGH…………
AA has not notified us of the change yet.
Now I’m confused… The link you posted about CX says 3x’s weekly @ night is going away (CX808/807), but CX807 seem to be daily to me. They mention CX807 again below that saying it is the 4-class one staying:
Cathay Pacific from 23MAR15 is reducing Hong Kong – Chicago service, as the airline ends 3 weekly CX808/807 night-time operation. The airline will continue to operate 7 weekly flights during daytime, with 4-class 777-300ER.
CX806 HKG1155 – 1350ORD 77W D
CX807 ORD1530 – 2020+1HKG 77W D
Thoughts? We are on CX807 ORD1530 – 2020+1HKG 77W D. Is “CX808/807” going away a typeo on the ORD-HKG route?
Quick search on BA.com shows CX807 for ORD-HKG showing up still.
