News and notes from around the interweb:
- Thai Airways apologizes for charging a customer a second time because of their long name. Their name was too long to fit on the ticket, so it didn’t match their ID, and they were forced to buy a new ticket.
- An interview about the future of Aeroplan after Air Canada cuts the cord in 2020. Turning themselves into a low value per point program for travel purchases doesn’t seem like a winning strategy. Points transfers to miles programs in Canada are far more limited than in the U.S. and seems like it would be a better path, at least as an add-on..

- Fine dining in the sky it troubles me that United, Delta, and American are included in this list. ANA and Singapore, yes. JAL sure. I’m not super impressed by Qantas meal service. Lufthansa tries too hard but the execution doesn’t quite work (Austrian’s efforts in business are better). Asiana is missing from this list..
Korean, Cathay, and EVA all have better food than the big US3, but don’t rate a mention while the US3 do. That tells me everything I need to know about this list of “best” menus.
The list does not purport to be a “top” list of anything. The intro to the article is clear: it is just 13 airlines with menus prepared by celebrity chefs.
Jet Airways isn’t in the list ??!!! It has better food than any US based airline. Globally, it’s at par with ANA if not better.
@Storm – If you scroll over the link, it even shows best, but you’re right that it’s not on the headline.
And Turkish airlines is not on the list? It’s clear they had zero methodology.
My God, the marketing BS from that Aeroplan guy was super thick. So many words with so little meaning.
