My Facebook feed is currently filled with photos of people with their mothers. I think that’s sweet, but everyone can post a photo of their mom to Facebook. It’s the easy thing to do, like buying a bouquet of flowers or a card from the grocery store. While we all rush to say “I love…
Genius In-N-Out/LAX Hack OFFICIALLY Kaput
If you’ve been using the Genius In-N-Out Trick to snag free rides from LAX to the In-N-Out via the Parking Spot shuttle, then the world is now a different place. A couple of weeks ago, I reported that the Parking Spot was sending out letters to its customers that they would now have to provide…
Closing LaGuardia, Groupon TVs, and SO MUCH MORE!
Happy Mother’s Day, Fly&Diners. I’ve got a special Mother’s Day post coming later today, but for now, why don’t you head up to the Fly&Dine buffet and feast on the stories you may have missed this week. NYT Says New York Should Close LaGuardia This is Why You Don’t Buy a TV from Groupon…
Airport Restaurant Month is Back with Great Deals
If you feel like it’s too early to have Airport Restaurant Month again, you’re right. The first one was barely six months ago in October 2014, but that’s not stopping HMSHost from rolling out Airport Restaurant Month 2105 in May. Just like last time, airport restaurants all over the country are offering multi-course chef’s tasting…
NYT Says New York Should Close LaGuardia
As a resident of the other, considerably warmer coast, I don’t have much of an opinion of LaGuardia. I do my best to avoid it at all costs as the food options have been abysmal there for years (decades, even?). The New York Times, on the other hand, seems to think LaGuardia should die immediately.…
The Bardenay Menu at the Boise Airport (BOI)
Idaho’s not the first place you think of when it comes to craft beers or craft distilleries, but Bardenay is out to change that. The Idaho mini-chain purports to be the nation’s first restaurant distillery, which means they make booze on-site while you eat calamari. After opening locations all over Idaho (Boise, Eagle, Coeur d’Alene),…
Ranking The Best Airline WiFi
Getting access to the internet while you’re cruising through the clouds is a true testament to the ingenuity of humanity. In-flight wi-fi is one of my favorite inventions of the past decade and I’m guessing you’ll agree. Instead of being forced to devote our time to stupid tasks like reading (bo-ring!), we can now see…
This is Why You Don’t Buy a TV from Groupon
UPDATE: Groupon actually processed the return in the best way possible. The money is back in my account and they even gave me Groupon Bucks to make up for the trouble. I have no idea if it was a result of this post or not, but I’m pleasantly surprised with how the situation turned out.…
7 Unbelievable Ways Airlines Are Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
You may be firmly fixated on the post-work margaritas that are waiting for you after quitting time today, but airlines all over the world are celebrating Cinco de Mayo all day with outlandish celebrations, in-flight cocktails, and a whole lot of mariachi music. While this may just look like May 5 on the calendar, we…
JetBlue Brings Streaming Video to Planes via Amazon Prime
It’s no secret that I have a crush on JetBlue. I think their Mint first class product is a great new direction for premium cabins and I love that they offer free snacks and TV to all of their passengers. Thanks to a new partnership with Amazon Prime, though, JetBlue is offering something that no…
Chipotle’s Secret Guacamole Recipe
Fast-casual powerhouse Chipotle has a complicated relationship with airports. You’d expect the pairing of make-your-own burritos/tacos/salads to be a perfect match for frequent flyers, but Chipotle currently only has locations in four US airports (PHI, BWI, IAD, and ATL). That said, the airport locations have been the source of some serious experimentation over the past…
Huge Trip Insurance Pay Day, In-N-Out Hack Woes, & More!

Details on Cross Grains: The New Airport Brewpub
You like beer. You like high-end bar food. You travel a lot. While there are tons of options on the ground for the intersecting points of this Venn diagram, there aren’t many spots in airports that offer a great selection of local beers, quality food, and a place to wait for a flight. Until now.…
