You’re getting more options with those blue potato chips, folks! JetBlue has been one of my favorite airlines for years and a lot of that is thanks to their free snack policy. Just yesterday, the airline announced that they’re adding two great new options to their free snack lineup. You’ll still be able to grab…
My Sunday is about to draw to a close here at the gorgeous Le Clair de Plume hotel in Grignan, a beautifully rustic French town in the Rhone Valley. While I’m getting down with some local black truffles for dinner (rough life, I know), you can catch up on all of the Fly&Dine stories you…
YouTube is a magical place filled with crazy/weird/wonderful/awkward/illuminating things. Case in point? This video of Korean girls trying snacks from America. The premise is simple, but it yields great results. PopTarts? “Tastes like a toy.” I’m sure the reverse video of American girls eating Korean snacks would be equally amusing… Oh, here it is! BuzzFeed…
I don’t know how to change the font to make this look like the Declaration of Independence, but let’s all just pretend I made the patriotic change in honor of Independence Day and we’re sitting here basking in the glow of patriotism. Ah, the Founding Fathers would be proud. Hope all you Americans are enjoying…
We all know that healthy eating is important. We also know that burgers are delicious. How do you reconcile those two ideas? For me, it’s a little of column A and a little of column B. While some people are better at living a hybrid of healthy and indulgent, I’m more extreme. I like to…
A very happy Sunday to you, my fly-and-dining friends. Another week is coming to a close and that means it’s time to wrap up the week that was in Fly&Dine. We started with a meditation on a fairly inane list that claimed “Jet Bloat” was a fearsome problem that can only be solved with hummus…
Like a hyper-organized soccer mom or OCD serial killer, the internet seems to thrive on the existence of lists. Day in and day out, somebody is publishing “The 106 Best ____” and “4,703 Tips to Improve Your ___.” As a member of the online media, let me just say that lists are about as exciting…
Fly&Dine Snacks are bite-sized bits of info to keep you flying and dining in style. Some people call them links. I call them portals to new knowledge. I don’t know how I missed this, but GQ named their top 9 airport beer bars back in March, starting with Cleveland’s excellent Great Lakes Brewery. Read all…
In the April issue of Travel + Leisure, writer Melanie Lieberman goes deep inside the beast that is the airline snack industry for an in-depth expose on– wait. No. That’s not true. There’s no incisive investigative reporting, but there is a pretty fun listicle/slideshow about the best snacks served on-board various airlines. From Delta’s might-as-well-be-called-Deltoff’s…
By Fly&Dine Contributor Nate Federman Before traveling to Costa Rica, I repeatedly heard three things about the food there: it’s lots of rice and beans (true!), bland (false!), and expensive (only partially true). Yes, there are plenty of restaurants catering to tourists. If you eat at them, you’ll pay US prices for unspectacular food. Or……
At last night’s Delta Altitude event in Los Angeles, we were able to sample the newest additions to Delta’s in-flight program and I have to say, things are looking pretty sweet for Delta passengers. Or savory, as the case may be. The biggest news to come out of the event is that chefs Jon Shook…
Fly&Dine started as a blog about food while you travel and I mostly covered meals, but every now and then I’d post a story about the unsung hero of traveling:Â snacks. This is kind of backwards, because while meals are definitely important, I’d say most of my travel days (by air, at least) focus much more…
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a proper hotel lounge. I don’t know about you, but I love hotel lounges. Who needs a cash minibar when you have a well-appointed room with a free real bar? As much as I love hanging out in hotel rooms, I love having the option to go…
If you’re an avid reader of Yahoo Travel, you may have noticed that I was quoted yesterday in their story entitled “Free Airplane Snacks! The Tastiest Treats in Coach,” by the lovely and talented Billie Cohen. She extols the virtues of Delta’s Biscoff cookies, Air Canada’s Peek Freans, Southwest’s peanuts, and more. Obviously, the overseas…
