Have you signed up for the dining rewards programs through the various airlines? They’re a great way to earn miles without doing much of anything at all besides eating. Rewards Network operates the programs for both American and United and I was pleasantly surprised to get their emails today promising major mileage bonuses. United is…
Courtesy of Dockside at Playa Provisions in Playa del Rey, CA. Don’t ask me why they don’t have a website, but damn that lobster roll is good. Happy Almost 4th of July!
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…
So I came across this video over at Gizmodo… …and I’m scratching my head over what exactly is new about the entire system. I mean, mood lighting? Been done. Highly articulated seat control? Been done. About the only thing from the video that seems innovative is removing the power boxes from under the seats and…
Why wait for the whole World Cup tournament to end when I already know who the winner is? The winner of the World Cup is… ESPN. Just look at those ratings! Oh, you were expecting me to name a team? Hahahahahaha. Sorry, folks. This is clickbait at its finest. Here’s the week that…
One of the best new developments of the past year in the Airport Lounge Game has been the introduction of American Express Centurion Lounges (now open at LAS and DFW).

Can we all just agree that rich people spend their excess money on stupid things? Michael Jackson built his own zoo, Michael Jordan bought a failing basketball team, and…
In only four days, you’ll no longer have the chance to vote for the Passengers Choice Awards. That’s a problem, folks. What are the Passengers Choice Awards? They’re the only awards dedicated to giving you a voice in your own airline experience. Run by APEX, the Airline Passenger Experience Association that devotes itself to making…

File this under: Comment Cards Really Work. Fiji Airways, the (somewhat) newly branded airline that used to be known as Air Pacific, has completed changed what they’re serving in Economy because of the nasty feedback they’ve been getting — according to Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald. Instead of catering boxes filled with sandwiches of unknown origin…
There was a story in the LA Times on Sunday that Delta has filed for trademark protection on the slogan “The World’s Most Trusted Airline.” Now I don’t fly Delta nearly as much as Rene from Delta Points, but in my experience that slogan is not at all true. In fact, I’d venture to guess…
Another week of flying and dining is coming to a close and that means it’s time to recap the week that was. This week, we learned about… Bill Cosby’s Favorite BBQ Spots in America I admonished you to… Vote Now For @PassengerChoice or Forever Hold Your Peace [sponsored] Revealed some exciting new menus… JetBlue Unveils…
Just left the Admirals Club at LAX. Right before I left, they put out a huge stack of cookies. Nothing makes up for a two hour delay like some chocolate chip cookies, right? No matter what, I thought you might need a cookie right now — in digital form, at least.
Do you like golfing? Do you like golfing in Hawaii? If you answered yes to these questions, then you’re probably rich. Congratulations!
