About a month ago, I wrote about the expectation that service between LAX and Sao Paolo, Brazil was for later this fall. There were still a few hurdles to clear, and Thursday American cleared another hurdle when the DOT issued a Show Cause Order…
Marriott Rewards has reestablished a partnership with American Airlines’ AAdvantage program so you can earn miles in their program when you stay and redeem points for AAdvantage miles. This partnership died a few years ago. While I can’t say I was that sad to…
A few days ago, Wandering Aramean covered his thoughts on what the new premium seats JetBlue is planning to offer might ultimately be configured. What’s really cool to me is that they look like they’re going to have a few mini-suites on each flight…

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a free Briggs & Riley TORQ suitcase! I’m giving away a free Gogo pass today. Pretty straight forward. For those that don’t know about Gogo, they provide in-flight wi-fi on a number of airlines: Air Canada Airtran…
