What can I say? I like to fly. I don’t just like to fly for the convenience. Even in today’s world of reduced comfort while flying, there’s a romance to the adventure of getting on a plane. The idea of sitting down somewhere and…
Lots of people are concerned about flying on a 787. And, no doubt the news about the recent fires is reason to give some people pause. But, I’m really not concerned. I was quoted in an Associated Press piece yesterday about my confidence in…
Just a quick note on the poll I put up last night. If you happen to be a United Airlines flier and win the contest I’ll be happy to award a United SWU instead. Don’t forget to vote on how you feel about American…

If you follow my blog, it’s no secret I’m a big Dreamliner fan. From the inaugural flight BOS-NRT on Japan Airlines to StarMegaDO2 and the best party in the air, StarMegaDO4, I’ve enjoyed every minute flying on (and crawling around) this plane of the future….
