News and notes from around the interweb:
- Qantas forced to refund passengers ‘sitting in urine’ during horror flight of course Qantas would have pushed back, only offering 10,000 points, since passengers shouldn’t really expect that their ticket implies a urine-free experience?
Placing a Qantas pillow on the ground under the seat in front of him, one of the passengers said he was confused when he picked it up again and found it was “wet and stained on one side”. … All of the items were also wet when the couple inspected them again. Initially just brushing off the dampness as water, they placed some of the items in the overhead bin but proceeded to use the neck pillow for the flight and asked cabin crew to replace the Qantas pillow.
…After a number of hours went by, things took a concerning turn when one of the travellers reached under the seat where the dampness was first spotted and found a pair of children’s underwear…
- Project update on new Austin airport concourse and connector
- Funny.
I make luggage tags for the Delta subreddit but my brother’s loyalty is Alaska, so he asked me to make him some, too. Just showing off, in case anyone else thinks they’re funny.

Why did my pilot just ask me to tip him?

- This passenger was thrilled to sit next to someone else’s dog. Happens!
@mariahh7488 I LOVE HIM #travel #airplane ♬ original sound – nickifavorite - Delta has signed on as a sponsor (“official airline”) of SXSW, so CEO Ed Bastian will be a featured speaker. This is supposed to make Delta hip or something.
- Now that it’s controlled by Delta, WheelsUp is moving headquarters to Atlanta.
Dogs ought to be outright banned from the crowded flights . The airlines squeeze in too many human passengers , then allow too many carry-on bags , and now allow way too many dogs . And then , many of the human passengers have dog-breath . Repulsive .
No fense to the Pilot, I am NOT tipping you, get over yourself and fly the damn plane. Thanks
At least Ed Bastian won’t have to connect on Delta to get to Austin unlike many SXSW attendees that choose to fly Delta.
After Ed’s CES speech in 2020 where his exoskeletons and tailored digital screens went nowhere but VERY typical Delta fluff marketing, I’m curious to see what load of Delta BS Ed has for SXSW.
“Qantas forced to refund passengers ‘sitting in urine’ during horror flight”
I sense another premium revenue opportunity for Delta, catering to those who enjoy a golden shower.
@me, it was a joke.
You have to know you’re in a Qantas airplane on that flight. What a pathetic response by Qantas.
