- Stop the madness.
Thanks @united for making us gate check our bags after paying extra to not have to. Don’t buy economy plus. It’s a joke. The bins were empty on both sides. pic.twitter.com/ryJ8AByn24

- Etihad Guest status match for residents of Australia and India
- Why would a casino care what someone does with the comped tickets they’re given? If someone values selling the tickets more than using them, they’re getting even more out of the comp! Turn around and tell a gambler you don’t want their business anymore?
Correct. Same source says the high rollers who sold the tickets have been banned from the casinos for selling Super Bowl tickets provided by hosts. Note: Please submit all scoop to us exclusively, thank you. https://t.co/QtlLcjlCPq

- American Airlines now codeshares with Malaysia Airlines.
Does the MH code share mean that AA will update their routing rules to allow flights from North America to SE Asia through the Middle East?
It is fitting that AA and MH code share.
What’s so impressive about bending a titanium shaft?
While titanium is stronger than other normally used metals it is usually used to make items of equal strength but less weight.
And nobody builds a suitcase with a shaft strong enough to stand up to the thumping luggage gets if it’s extended like that.
