The Best of the Rest is my effort to summarize all the travel/miles & points stories that interested me on a daily basis but didn’t have time to write about in length. Culled from over 100 blogs/authors I follow, some are passed along without comment, while I add my analysis to others. This is your shortcut to find out what’s going on in the travel world without having to read dozens of travel blogs to get all the best info.

Today’s Best of the Rest includes a $50 discount at Orbitz, an opportunity to use miles to fly the A350 to/from the US, Spirit on-time arrivals are still horrible.
The 747 once ruled the international skies, dating back to global behemoths like Pan Am. Here’s an interesting look at Virgin’s fleet and game plan now that the 747s, a plane they’ve flown since the birth of their airline 30 years ago, are no longer in the picture.
Airbus had an ambitious plan for the A380. It’s a monumental plane, a statement with one heck of a range. But, it appears Airbus drastically over-estimated the market for this 500+ passenger beast.
