A passenger reviewing the Delta One Lounge at New York JFK shared her experience on the ground, and up in the air, as much from the perspective of her pooch as from a passenger. Her dog loved the new business class-only space, including the food, showing the pet dining and eating various courses from the table.
Cathay Pacific will leave the American Airlines terminal 8 at New York JFK airport and relocate to the new terminal 6 once the first 5 gates open there, projected for “early 2026.”

Delta’s new Delta One business class lounge at New York JFK opens on Wednesday, and overall looks to be fantastic. But there’s a lot of hype surrounding the product. Some of it strains credulity.
Delta this week opens its very first dedicated business class lounge – a concept that both American Airlines and United Airlines have had for years.

Aerolineas Argentinas has cumulatively lost $8 billion in taxpayer money since it was renationalized in 2008.
And Argentina can’t afford to go deeper. The country’s annual inflation rate was 211.4% last year. They had negative 5% GDP growth. Just 5% of people lived in poverty in Argentina ten years ago, now 40% do.
The customs forms for 1,966 cartons said they were nail clippers and pet grooming supplies. Anyone who opened up the cartons were supposed to just be scared off by the preserved rattlesnakes inside, I guess, though it seems like that would be at least a paperwork violation once found.
Hidden inside – the rattlesnakes were just a decoy – were duck intestines from China.
