- China Eastern has switched from offering an all you can fly pass for weekend travel hoping to fill planes with tourists to offering the pass for weekday travel hoping to stimulate business travel demand.
- This strategy for sneaking into a hotel is about one step removed from my two year old covering her eyes so I can’t see her. (HT: @smkeyes)
