April is off to a roaring start on Fly&Dine thanks to WOW Air’s introduction to the American market with incredible flight deals to Europe along with some investigative research on the official term for your carry-on luggage (Is it rollerboard? Rollaboard?) The answer is below! One of the biggest stories this week was about American…
Airline food causes a lot of problems for a lot of people, but it’s usually of the gastrointestinal variety. This week, however, a Canadian Senator in Ottawa (not to be confused with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators) got in trouble for skipping her airline breakfast and expensing her replacement to the Canadian people. As a result,…
It’s called WOW Air for a reason. The RyanAir of Iceland just expanded into the US market and they’re offering fares that seem like they’re full-on mistakes. WOW just started service from Boston’s Logan Airport (click here for a genius trick to get into the first class security lane) and the flights go to London…
Hold onto your blue beehives, people. Krusty Burger is a thing! A real thing! I just saw a story on Eater LA that Krusty Burger has opened in Los Angeles at Universal Studios and a little bit of digging reveals that there’s actually been a Krusty Burger in existence at Orlando’s Universal Studios since June…
I don’t know how the other teams in the Final Four feel about this, but the Duke Men’s Basketball Team is sleeping comfortably knowing the Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre* they’re staying at has their backs. The official account of the team posted this tweet earlier this morning: Greatest do not disturb sign of all-time? Greatest…
BREAKING: I just got off the phone with an American Airlines spokesperson (who I won’t name for fear of losing his/her job at divulging advance information) and there is a development so delicious coming down the pipeline that you will most likely cancel all existing reservations and rebook your travel plans exclusively with American from…
Fans of the movie Sideways will appreciate what Sheraton Hotels and Resorts is doing for its’ fourth iteration of their successful Sheraton Selects program in North America. Launching late last month, Sheraton Selects Spotlight on Pinot Noir offers guests the chance to check out a rotating selection of at least premium eight Pinots highly ranked by…
You may be partial to the Admirals Club or the United Club, but if you’re not affiliated with an airline-specific lounge, this news is for you. The Club, that independent open-to-all shared-use lounge, has expanded yet again and now they’re operating in Seattle’s SEA-TAC airport. There will actually be two The Club lounges at SEA-TAC,…
How much would you pay to know your pet will safely arrive from point A to point B? Delta hopes the answer is $50. Actually, Delta hopes the answer is $250 because it’ll cost you $200 to check your pet as luggage and another $50 to use the new pet tracking devices that they’re introducing…
You know that carry-on suitcase with an expanding handle and wheels? What do you call it? I’ve always called it a roller board, but apparently the topic is up for debate. I wrote a story last week called Amazon’s Huge Luggage Sale (btw, there are still great deals available if you click here) and mentioned…
A couple of weeks ago, I shared the LA Times’ list of great dining options near LAX. It covered all kinds of genres from pizza to Thai to Jamaican to Middle Eastern but it didn’t grab everything. In-N-Out didn’t make the list, nor did one of my favorites, Aliki’s Greek Taverna. Another type of food…
Your flight leaves in three hours. Your zipper broke three seconds ago. How are you going to get your massive suitcase back to Topeka without your bathing suit winding up in the cargo hold on an A380? The answer is simple: use plastic wrap. It’s nowhere near a permanent solution, but if you’ve got a…
Happy Sunday to you all. I still can’t believe what a week it was for Fly&Dine. After a really good run of stories that seemed to be resonating with you readers, I published my “6 Costco Products That Are Better Than Name-Brand” story and it broke the Internet. In the past 24 hours, I’ve had…
Seafood platters have earned a spot on my list of life’s simple pleasures. It’s right in between “the sound of my dog yawning” and “my girlfriend’s beautiful smile.” A cold platter of ultra-fresh seafood served on or near the beach is a reminder that we — as humans — did it. We got to the…
