The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Tom Horton, CEO of AMR (the parent of American Airlines) is in talks to become Chairman of a combined American Airlines/US Airways airline. This is a big indication to me that things are likely almost wrapped up…
A quick note on AA’s contest celebrating their new logo. All you have to do is upload a picture (not necessarily one of you, can be anything) to enter. There are some other social media options as well. They’re giving away 1 million miles…
As a frequent traveler I rely on my iPad as in-flight entertainment/work tool on pretty much every flight. It’s great not to have to rely on the airlines to provide an imperfect technology solution. Here’s a list of what’s new on my iPad: Evernote…
Now that I’ve switched the majority of travel back to American Airlines I’m spending a lot more time on the AA website. Over the past few weeks I’ve noted the 40,000 mile sign-up offers for the Citi Platinum Select/AAdvantage World MasterCard in the margin…

Trying out a poll for the first time. To celebrate, I’ll be giving away either a systemwide upgrade (SWU) on American Airlines. These are valid on pretty much every fare. I may switch this to a free flight in the domestic US on American…
My family and I are traveling to Great Wolf Lodge (trip report and tips for families to follow later), so I probably won’t be posting much in the next couple of days. There’s been a bunch of buzz in the blogsphere over the past…
