Make sure to check out Fly&Dine’s Uber LAX Guide! What a year it’s been for Uber in Los Angeles. The ride-sharing service introduced Uber Pool, Uber Eats (formerly Uber Fresh), and cut the costs of UberX down significantly. Now comes word that LAX airport officials have agreed to let ride-share services actually operate at the…
You’ve got thirty minutes to make it from Terminal A to Terminal D. There’s a SkyTrain, a giant tour group of Broadway-loving senior citizens, and roughly four million courtesy carts standing between you and your next flight. If that wasn’t bad enough, you haven’t eaten for eight hours and your next flight won’t have anything…
We all know that getting a bird’s eye view of a city from an airplane is a breathtaking experience. Whether it’s flying in over the twinkling skyline of Chicago at night or glimpsing the first signs of land as you approach Hawaii, views from planes can be transformative. Views from airports? Not so much. I…
Rolls out! I said “rolls out!” Because it’s a bakery. Man do I amuse myself. In any case, fast casual chain Corner Bakery Cafe just announced that they’re gearing up for “aggressive expansion” in airports according to Gary Price, President of Corner Bakery Cafe. The brand has existed at ATL for a while now and…
There may be no better airline cross-promotion than the EVA Air/Hello Kitty collaboration. Nearly everything on board from the amenity kits to the toilet paper gets branded with Sanrio’s friendliest little cat and people go crazy for it. Now EVA is launching direct flights from Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) to Houston (IAH) and that means Hello…
Nowadays you can find Buffalo wings pretty much anywhere you go, but back in the day the only place you could find them was in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar, where the dish was first created. The Anchor Bar hasn’t taken advantage of their reputation as creators of wings like other famous food progenitors have…
We here at Fly&Dine know (perhaps better than most) that food on airplanes is a touchy subject. Passengers complain about the quality — or lack thereof — on a regular basis. Airlines do their best, but with massive restrictions and increasing pressure on their bottom lines, spending money on top notch meals isn’t a huge…
Midway Airport in Chicago isn’t my favorite place in the world, but if you’re flying Southwest (which has a heart!) to the Windy City, there aren’t any other options. I found myself at Midway two weeks back and stepped off the plane with a serious appetite. MDW has offered Chicago favorites for years — RIP…
One of the things I love most about America is our regional food. Based on where you live, your city may be known for a certain kind of burrito (San Diego/the California Burrito; San Francisco/the Mission Burrito), a certain kind of sandwich (Philadelphia/cheesesteaks; Chicago/hot dogs), or a certain kind of dessert (Oahu/shave ice; Key West…
If you want to find the best restaurants, you have to go to someone on the inside. While food writers like me think we’re the experts, the true voices of reason come from inside the kitchens themselves: the chefs. That’s why I put so much stock in this list that Conde Nast Traveler put together…
Well isn’t this convenient. 7-Eleven, aka the place where you buy swimming pools full of Diet Coke, just opened their very first US airport location at LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal. The 950 sq. ft. store is on the pre-security/arrivals level of TBIT and just may turn into the biggest airport retail development of the…
Seeing a Broadway show is going to set you back at least $50 and that’s just for the worst seats in the house. If you’re a sucker for showtunes but not a big spender, how are you supposed to get the magic of Broadway into your own life? Well, if you’re like some recent LaGuardia…
It’s time for some potty talk, people. If that makes you squeamish or uncomfortable, then you clearly didn’t grow up in my family. I was flying through Phoenix last week when I stumbled upon one of the Holy Grails of flying: a bathroom that was essentially private. People search these out in all facets of…
When the brand new Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse opened in Terminal 2 at LAX a little over a month ago, I brought you the news of the lounge’s partnership with LA restaurant Hinoki & the Bird. Now I’ve got the full Clubhouse menu for you. Great beers, cold-pressed juice, and miso donuts? I don’t know about…
