The World’s Longest Flight and United’s New Economy Seat. Ouch?
The Best of the Rest is my effort to summarize all the travel stories that interested me on a daily basis. I don’t have time to write about them in length, but picked some of the best below. It’s a shortcut to find out what’s going on without reading dozens of travel blogs to get the best info. Today’s highlights include The World’s Longest Flight and a Pilot’s Stand Up Comedy Act.

Enhanced seats in economy. Ugh.
Do you visit the CES for work or personal interest?
Christian, mostly for work, to keep up on trends. There’s a bit of personal enjoyment here and there. But, it’s a whole lot of people crammed into a not-quite-big-enough space.
