And the hottest new airport dining destination in the country is… NEWARK?!?!? Yep. You heard that right. Thanks to a $120 million project between United and OTG Management, Terminal C at EWR is going to get a whole lot nicer. Over 55 new dining outlets will be available to travelers and once they all open,…
Have you ever been stuck at the airport with your phone/tablet battery dying a slow painful death and all of the outlets are taken by other jamokes in the same predicament? Of course you have. We’ve all been there. Instead of unplugging one of your power-hungry comrades and starting World War III, you sit there…
KLM is really killing it with the marketing this year. First they captured the internet’s heart with the story of a beagle who retrieves lost iPads (which was totally fake) and now they’re teaming up with Airbnb to offer a one-night stay in a real airplane that’s been converted into the most aeronautic apartment on…
The Age of the Democratized Lounge is upon us. While the legacy carriers and major airline alliances still dominate the airport lounge world, newer open-to-all lounges are spreading everywhere. Instead of buying a business/first class ticket or holding status that allows for lounge entry, this new class of lounges is available to anyone who wants…
Guys. Can I just say how good it feels to be back? There. I said it. After a month of traveling like crazy, I’m back home and feeling good. Getting a full week’s worth of Fly&Dine posts on a regular schedule makes me feel whole again. I hope you had a wonderful week. Fly&Dine certainly…
Just got an email from American in my inbox. First Class meal service is getting an upgrade starting on Tuesday 11/18. Here’s what they’re changing: More meals on more flights: We’ll offer you a full meal with your choice of entrée on all flights approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes or longer Warm mixed nuts…
Are you ready to say goodbye to Morocco? No? I wasn’t either, but here we are. Friends, we’ve come to the last photo tour of my trip to Morocco (thanks to the wonderful Pompeian Olive Oil company). If you’d like to recap the first three days of my trip, please do so: Photo Tour: Morocco…
I imagine the marketing team that came up with “Mint” as the name of JetBlue’s new premium cabin has been patting themselves on the back for months. It’s the perfect evocative brand name; a four-letter word without scorn. Mint is fresh. Mint is financially sound. Mint is crisp and cool and exactly what you want…
What’s it like to attend a dinner party in the home of rich Moroccans? It’s a question we all ask ourselves constantly. “Do they eat out of golden tagines?” “Do they eat coucous made of gold?” “Why am I so obsessed with asking gold-related questions right now?” These are the important questions that come up when…
My Moroccan adventure continues with Day 3 of my photo tour. If you missed Day 1 or Day 2, make sure to click in and catch up. Day 3 of my trip to Morocco (courtesy of Pompeian Olive Oil) brought me to a food factory, a winery, and a family home for an extravagant Moroccan…
I have to warn you: this will not be pretty. I flew on Royal Air Maroc twice last week and twice I was reminded of the old days of airline food where comedians were accurate in their joking and passengers had to endure foil-covered rectangles of food that desperately strived to be as good as…
“Come with me/And you’ll be/In a world of/Pure imagination…” Do you recognize those lyrics? They’re from one of my favorite movies as a kid, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe this will jog your memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2pt2-F2j2g Why am I sharing lyrics from movies made in the early ’70s? Because that’s how I felt when…
I’ve been trying to publish this since Monday, but the internet wasn’t kind to me in Morocco so you’ll have to excuse the tardiness (and lack of posting — AGAIN). I just got back from Morocco in the wee hours of the morning and I have so much to share with you! Flights on Royal…
When you’re traveling abroad, street markets can seem like terrifying places, especially when you don’t speak the language. The good news? There’s only one language you need to know and that’s the language of cash. I’ve been traveling through Morocco this week and despite the fact that I don’t speak French or Arabic, I was…
