Simple enough question really. Line people up, and let them go at it. Except it’s not. Prior to seeing this page on ways to board airplanes, I really only knew about two types: Back-to-front (how we board on AA) and random (think the Southwest cattle call).
Interestingly enough, there are a couple others. Having watched the [...]
This whole everyone-on-the-double-EQM bandwagon keeps going round and round. As USA Today (really?) points out:
And there is another restriction by some carriers that has rankled some frequent fliers. Kralev writes -– initially –- US Airways, AA and United made their offer valid only on new tickets. That meant the offer did not apply to tickets [...]

Dutifully I clicked on the unsub link, and was taken to a [...]
Planes with propellers!
So, I like the 25 random things about me meme going around Facebook right now, but I hate having to nag people to publish it, so I’ll do it here…so without further ado, here’s 25 random things about me:
1. I once was thrown out of a country.
2. I’ve been on every continent except Antarctica.
3. On [...]
