News and notes from around the interweb:
- Man sues British Airways for $6.23 million after slipping on spilled Bailey’s Irish Cream the interesting angle here is whether Montreal Convention damages limits apply – whether the check-in area is part of “embarking” an aircraft.
- Newark will premier new Lufthansa lounge design
- Bilt Rewards revenue is expected to exceed $200 million this year. The average member is 29 years old paying $2,800 per month in rent. The company, whose chairman is the former CEO of American Express, has a $3.1 billion valuation. Founder Ankur Jain is now an (illiquid) billion himself. Reiterates the plan to expand from rent to mortgages later this year.
- Not how you expect luggage to arrive on the belt.
- Interview with a 60-year Delta flight attendant who is #3 in seniority. What was it like in 1964?
Delta #3 in seniority FA, #1 of original delta FA!
byu/Certain_Monitor8688 indelta - Funny – but I liked the person in response who gets this excited when they’re “in top 15 on the waitlist as a 1k out of SFO.”
United posted this and I had to share!

I understand the man who slipped on the cocktail fell and bumped his head. He’s suing for $10 to cover the Band-Aid on his temple, and for $5,999,990 because the accident left him with a permanent and incurable assaholic personality disorder.
God I hate ambulance chasers, our civil litigation system and the losers that have their hand out looking for a payout every time something g happens to them. Grow up and accept that s**t happens instead of suing. I hope caps do apply (preferably it will be thrown out)
Maybe this is why British Airways cancelled my flight only to tell me that I could rebook on the same flight for the same seats for another 10K!!!
