Today’s Best of the Rest includes a crazy story about a stolen car you need to read. If that’s the only link you click on today, I’ll be happy.
The Boeing 747 has been an iconic figure in aviation history. Making the likes of Pan Am possible, it’s been featured in movies, flown Presidents hundreds of thousands of miles and been a workhorse of the freight industry for decades.
Innovation has lead to twin-engine planes that can fly just as far while burning less fuel, reducing the market size for new 747s. Is the 747 at the end of its runway?
American Airlines has announced a whole bunch of new nonstop destinations from LAX. For folks who live West of DFW, this means a lot more ways to get to certain desirable places. Ski bums and explorers will find good things here.

Wow Air, the discount carrier based in Iceland, is hitting East Coast customers with another fare sale. And, availability is actually pretty decent. I spent some time poking around on their website and found decent availability to Paris and Copenhagen, where pretty much every…
What can I say? I’m a sucker for many aviation-related things, and timelapse videos of a plane being painted are one of them. David H shared this video of a custom paint job with me last night. It’s been around a little while, but I…
Given my recent travel craziness, I found myself with a rare week at home. I still ended up at an airport to try and work on an airline ticket that I couldn’t change over the phone and we did the kids skiing, but the…
