Is it me or do the days seem to be flying by this summer? It feels like just yesterday I was talking about Tipping at Hotels, and now an entire week has passed us by. Hope it was a good one for you. This is what happened over the past week on Fly&Dine: Would…
This has been, without question, the most successful week in Fly&Dine history. More people visited Fly&Dine than ever before and I am grateful for that. What did they come to read? Check out the stories that grabbed everyone’s attention this week: First, we addressed the question of gratuity while you travel in… Tipping at Hotels…
When celebrity chefs and airport restaurants collide, the results can be quite polarizing. Some times (*cough* Wolfgang Puck *cough*) it’s just another branded marketing opportunity for the chef to get rich without actually being ever being present. Other times, though, these celeb chefs raise the entire level of airport dining with thoughtful additions to terminals…
How much should a salad cost? $5? $10? $100? “Should” is a dangerous game to play. Free-market economists would tell you that salads should cost as much as the market is willing to pay. At Terminal 4 in LAX, Campanile is charging $18 for a salad (plus tax) and the market seems prepared to pay…
One of the most successful Fly&Dine stories of all time was about a Chinese man who was able to game the system at his local airport to eat in the first class lounge for free by continually extending the outbound date on his refundable first class ticket. Well, it looks like somebody else tried to…
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). While I haven’t been to one yet, some of the other BoardingArea bloggers seem to really love them based on all of their posts: Here’s…
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! You also probably want to know about the second location of the PGA TOUR Grill, now open at the Honolulu International Airport (HNL). Full details in the press release below: PGA TOUR Grill…
In perhaps the greatest new development of the already great Tom Bradley International Terminal makeover at LAX, oneworld (in this case Qantas, Cathay Pacific, and British Airways) has opened their brand new business class lounge at LAX and it’s a stunner. The space itself is great, but the food… ah, the food. Last time we…
Oh what a week it was back at the Fly&Dine Web Traffic Control Center. We started out the week asking for you to weigh in on what you’d like to see here on Fly&Dine with… Help Me Help You: A Call for Requests We then asked one of life’s greatest questions with… Would you go…
CLARIFICATION: Reader Matt points out that the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ size has always been standard on the Big Three. The difference now appears to be that previously you could have any bag whose dimensions added up to 45″ and now each dimension has to be under 22″, 14″, and 9″ respectively. On to…
