News and notes from around the interweb:
- ‘Economy, but make it like first class’ woman brings her own crystal stemware to drink from.
Cort McCown’s character Quint in 1987’s I>Can’t Buy Me Love traveled with his own wine to impress women (“You never know the quality you may encounter at a soiree.”) You can actually bring your own wine – not just the glasses – to drink on some airlines. Pick it up at duty free, and ask the flight attendants to serve it to you. Try this with Cathay Pacific, perhaps, but not American Airlines.
- “I Took Every American Airlines “Flight” That’s Actually a BUS”
- These are never real.
Was he wrong?

Number one, if I could afford fancy stemware I instead buy a business class ticket. Number two, don’t know if that video was real but certainly something you’d see on Spirit or Frontier.
Is this a glassware commercial? to make people buy that stemware? it’s got nothing to do with first class, just self-satisfaction.
Fer crissakes, at last someone is having some fun on their cheap flight.
Ah, yes, bring your own Baccarat… for Economy on Singapore Airlines…
As to the later video with the slap… ‘dayum’ (Clearly, that’s a bit.)
Trip trading may be against the rules but it isn’t illegal (PYOK said it is illegal.) It seems like the flight attendant has a reasonable case against United Airlines for age discrimination. I hope she wins.
I’m waiting to see the response when Tik Tok copycats try this using Baccarat on a US domestic flight. I suspect similar reaction to asking to have your Stanley refilled … after a yoga routine in the aisle.
