News and notes from around the interweb:
- United will now let you have gifts delivered to passengers on international departing flights via duty free. (HT: Cranky Flier) I really like this.
- An Easyjet flight from Malta to Manchester diverted to Milan when a passenger and the first officer fell ill. My first reaction was don’t eat the fish! but “the illnesses of the passenger and first officer appear to be unrelated.”
- Air India upgrade statistics
- Boston has a new Priority Pass-accessible lounge in terminal C
- London City airport now has a lounge. It’s pay-in for £180 per person, but includes tarmac transfer.
- Three passengers and two flight attendants were injured in turbulence on an Allegiant flight on Thursday
United sure seems to be leaps ahead of AA when it comes to innovation and service. Have you ever tried booking an AA international saver award? Good luck!
Don’t eat the fish. Awesome. Looks like I picked a bad week to quit smoking.

The title says “New Lounges”. There is nothing about new lounges.
My mistake. As I read the title, I inferred that there were new United lounges. I see it refers to other lounges.
