Okay, okay, so it may not be as routine as I make it seem but it’s certainly happening more frequently these days. ANA just announced their partnership with Patina, Cathay Pacific teamed up with the Mandarin Oriental, and now…
What is this world coming to? Less than an hour ago, I posted the adorable story of a beagle used by KLM to track down lost items and deliver them to passengers. Now, I’m back to tell you that it was apparently all a lie; a clever marketing stunt by ad agency DDB & Tribal.…

Ever wonder what kind of airline food was being served in 1965? Well, you’re in luck. KLM has come through with some amazing photos and data that gives us an idea of what it was like to fly fifty years ago. Wicker baskets? How adorable. Today, all we get are cold, hard metal carts that…

I’ve never been on the receiving end of an NPR pledge drive before, but after being mentioned in a story on NPR’s excellent “The Salt” food blog this week, I saw a giant leap in visitors to Fly&Dine. I wish I had tote bags to give to all of you as thanks for checking out…
Lost baggage is the worst, but KLM has come up with a solution that’s both brilliant and adorable: a baggage pup.

That’s Cleo Bagels, the official mascot/security…

Which wine pairs best with tiny bags of peanuts? That’s a question to ask any of the 28 airlines that recently participated in Business Traveller’s 2013 Cellars in the Sky Awards. The competition, run annually since 1985, is based on blind tastings conducted in London in December 2013. Four judges independently score the wine, although…
