Mint, JetBlue’s first class product, is coming to an airport near you. In fact, it’s already there if you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York. Now JetBlue is rolling out Mint to their Caribbean destinations and that’s good news for anyone that wants to turn their vacation into a First Class affair. The…
The All-Star Chef Classic came on the scene last year as a food event that’s trying to break the mold. Instead of similar events across the United States where a bunch of big-name chefs set up shop and serve tiny portions of their greatest hits, the All-Star Chef Classic vowed to up their game and…
This was one of the best weeks in Fly&Dine history! If you missed anything from the past seven days, pretend there’s a big test coming up and cram cram cram. That didn’t sound right… In any case, make your Sunday even better by checking out these great stories from this week: Fly&Dine’s Hotel Brunch…
Some times you’re just having one of those days. The only answer — besides elaborate revenge on your boss that can’t be traced back to you in case it backfires spectacularly — is sugar. These are just a few of the desserts that have already made March a better place to be in the Land…
It’s Pi Day! What’s Pi Day, you say? It’s March 14th, 2015 aka 3.14.15! That’s the value of Pi, which for non-math majors is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Basically, it’s an excuse for me to write about pie since they’re homophones (pi sounds exactly like pie). This is also the…
If you’ve got an extra $2,000 a month hanging around, you might want to drop it on Beacon. It’s an all-you-can-fly service (if you want all-you-can-eat, click here) in the Northeast US that gives unlimited flights on private planes from New York/Boston/The Hamptons/Nantucket to anyone with a membership. The website is fairly sparse, so there’s…
Sweden, that magical land of conflict neutrality and bikini teams, has done it again. This time, they found out how to make charity completely awesome. Swedavia, the state-owed group that controls all of the airports in Sweden, has partnered with the Red Cross to come up with a novel way to get you to donate…
Since the 80s, sneaker companies have realized that getting athletes to endorse their shoes translates to big money. Over twenty-five years after the launch of the first Air Jordans, superstar kicks are an even bigger business than anyone could have imagined. Since chefs have risen to celebrity status, it only makes sense that they would…
Another day, another outlet posting about not eating beans before flights. It’s a little old, don’t you think? Actually, that’s rather rude of me because the group that made the post is AARP, the advocacy group for retired people that also sounds like the noise a seal makes. They posted “10 Foods to Avoid Before…
You want to brunch, son? You want to buffet like a baller? Then drop the soup and listen to me. I’ve been hitting hotel brunch buffets since Justin Bieber was in short pants (he still is, though, right?). I know the secrets of the steam trays. I’m cool with the curiosities of carving stations. I’m…
If you’re a tech geek, you’ve probably been following the Apple press conference this morning featuring news about the brand new Apple Watch like I have. If you’re not a tech geek, read on for the travel highlights. While the watch brings great functionality in a number of arenas from health to home automation, I…
What a week in Fly&Dine! After barely posting while I was down in Fiji, I rebounded to post a ton of great stories that featured everything from Alec Baldwin’s airport generosity to a wonderful weekend spent at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs where I ate and drank myself to happiness. If you missed any of…
If Day 1 of The Broadmoor’s very inclusive Taste & Savor Food Festival was all about your individual foodie preferences (choose your favorite seminars, pick your favorite themed dinner, etc.), Day 2 was about the collective group of food lovers getting together to enjoy what The Broadmoor has constructed for this first annual weekend of…
It’s already well into Day 2 of The Broadmoor’s first annual Taste & Savor event in Colorado Springs, but it’s the first time I’ve really had to catch my breath all day so it’s time for a little recap of the glory that was TBT&S2015D1 — that’s The Broadmoor’s Taste & Savor 2015 Day 1…
