Howard Stern claims he’s the King of All Media, but Fly&Dine is starting to give him a run for his money. Okay… so that may not be true. We’re making a dent, though! This week, Fly&Dine was featured in Yahoo! Travel, The Points Guy, and AA’s American Way Magazine. That’s pretty good! Check out all…
There are moments in every writer’s life that are significant: the first day you see your name in print, the moment you find out that other writers like your work, and, for travel writers, the first time you get a story in an in-flight magazine. Today, I’m extremely proud to share with you my first…
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…
In this month’s Fly&Dine Tuesday column for The Points Guy, I recount the story of a woman with a nut allergy who tried to dictate the eating habits of an entire plane full of people. It’s already sparked a pretty hearty debate over at The Points Guy and I’m guessing it’ll do the same here.…
There are some topics that come up repeatedly in the tiny corner of the world that Fly&Dine occupies. One of them is why airline food tastes so bad. Another is about who has the best airline food in the whole wide world. They both make sense, based on what internet readers gravitate towards. Explanations of…
Every kid grows up thinking about what the future will look like, but is that still true now that we live in a world where tiny computer communicators exist in our pockets and consumer-grade virtual reality and self-driving cars will soon be regular parts of every day life? I never thought “the future” would be…
It was a slow week over at the all-new Fly&Dine HQ just steps from LAX, but even in the dog days of summer a chance at free wi-fi on Gogo-affiliated flights gets people a-clicking. Even though the original story posted last week, both The Doctor of Credit and Frequent Miler sent readers my way with…
I just spent my first summer weekend in Maine and I’m filled with regret that it took me this long to see the splendor of New England during August. Wow. What an absolutely gorgeous place to be when the weather is just right. I grew up in the Midwest and always appreciated the rare time…
Are you an Uber LAX supporter? Are you tired of paying the taxi company’s outrageous $19 minimum to hail a cab at LAX? Does the phrase “LYFT LAX” sound like sweet, sweet music to your traveling ears? If so, read on for where we stand on the all-important question of Uber and Lyft picking up…
I’ll make this short and sweet since I’m attending a fantastic wedding this weekend in Portland, ME. I posted one of the most popular stories in Fly&Dine history on Friday and if you missed it, this is your chance to catch up. In fact, catch up on all of last week’s stories right now so…
I’m on the East Coast this weekend for the wedding of one of my favorite people on Earth and before I head up to Portland, Maine tomorrow for the wedding festivities, I’m staying for a night in Boston. I’ve been hearing for a while about the Independent Collection hotel group and since I tend to…
Internet, prepare to be rocked. A user on Reddit just posted an amazing LPT (Life Pro Tip) for getting free wi-fi on your next flight. We’ll let the Redditor, dollinsdv, share the good news: I accidently discovered this little trick while flying yesterday and I’m almost hesitant to share it for fear that the airline…
I’ve never been a fan of fake marketing holidays (Belgian Waffle Day, International Tape Measure Day, Universal Self-Promotional Marketing Holiday Day), but they do serve a purpose: they give us a reason to talk about a specific topic. Next week is National Aviation Day and to celebrate, American Airlines has fired up the self-promotion machine…
This is possibly the coolest development in fly & dining news in the past year, if not the past century. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have now grown and eaten lettuce in space. Say goodbye to Astronaut Ice Cream (just kidding — never say goodbye to that chalky goodness), because now we can grow…
