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…
If you’re flying British Airways to/from Heathrow and you don’t have a premium cabin ticket or elite status, you’re going to be sitting at the gate dreaming of free tea and crumpets. That all changed this summer when independent lounge operators Airport Lounge Development (of The Club fame) and Swissport joined forces and opened Aspire,…
It’s been some week, folks. I moved right next to LAX, the GOP held a debate (15 months before the actual election), and NFL training camps are in full swing. If you like acronyms, you loved last week. You also, hopefully, loved Fly&Dine because we had some great stories over the past seven days. Pet…
American Airlines has taken a cue from Paris Hilton. No, they haven’t released a sex tape (at least as far as I know…). They have, however, designed First Class “pet cabins” to accommodate the pups of the rich and famous just like Paris and her tiny rat chihuahua Tinkerbell. According to AA’s outside PR firm:…
“That’ll be $9.76. Is that okay?” That was exactly the question posed to me by the cashier at the La Provence Bakery at LAX’s Terminal 4. It was very early on a Sunday morning and I was hungry after rushing into an Uber without breakfast. I wanted something light before my flight to Louisville and…
I used to love Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Books when I was a kid. They were like literary hedge mazes that would bring me to the brink of disaster (why was a Yeti always trying to eat me?) and allow me to go back and make a new choice to save my own life and keep the story…
It’s the first Monday in August and we’re going back to our Greatest Hits series to bring you the best of Fly&Dine. Today’s post covers the decision-making process of signing up for TSA Pre-Check. Do you hear that noise? It’s the sound of thousands of blue-shirted government employees patting each other on the back. That’s…
I know I promised that this week would be filled with coverage of my bourbon-filled trip to Kentucky and Tennessee with the Eureka! Restaurant Group, but sadly my grandmother passed away last night. I’ll be traveling to Chicago today to be with my family and I won’t be posting anything to Fly&Dine until I return…
Guys. I’m in Kentucky. I’m on a bus. You’re about to get a ton of bourbon coverage coming your way, but first, let’s recap the week that was in Fly&Dine. You know how this works: Click on the story. Read it. Come back for more. Airlines Rake in HOW MUCH in Baggage Fees??? SeaLegs…
The weekend is upon us and these mid-summer weekends remind me of Spiderman, because with great weather comes great responsibility. You’ll feel guilty spending the whole time indoors with the sun shining outside, but coming up with a weekend warrior plan is so arduous and time-consuming. Instead of going through the same-old same-old “let’s go…
