If you like candy as much as I do (and if you do, you’re probably 6 years old), then you’ll be thrilled to learn that iconic New York candy shop Dylan’s Candy Bar is coming to JFK’s JetBlue Terminal (T5). The candy store bills itself as “the world’s largest confectionery emporium,” and while I’m sure…
Looking for low airfare? You may want to stay glued to Twitter. Sites like Airfare Watchdog (@airfarewatchdog) and Scott’s Cheap Flights (@scottsflights) regularly post massive fare sales for routes around the globe. If you followed @JetBlue, you would have known about their crazy Halloween sale where they offered all one-way flights on Halloween for just…
It’s a dark day, friends. Actually, it’s a dark week. This is the first time in years that I’ve flown on American without any sort of elite status. It felt really strange. I think I may be developing PTSD (Plane Transportation Status Disassociation). I first earned my Platinum status back in 2012 when I completed…
When it comes to culinary programs on airlines, the rate of change is so slow it’s like trying to turn right in an aircraft carrier. That’s why you’re still seeing the same tired turkey sandwiches and hummus snack boxes on flights instead of experiencing the trends that have driven the food world for the past…
I’ll admit it: I’ve become a little bit obsessed with getting free wifi on airplanes. It’s not because I don’t think paying for wifi on planes is worth it — it is… sometimes. My problem is that JetBlue has found a way to offer free wifi to all of its passengers, Southwest charges $5 for…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
I’m not a Spirit flyer. Heck, I barely show spirit in my real life, much less my flying life. In fact, I’ve only taken one round-trip flight on Spirit and it was enough to get me to vow never to take Spirit ever again. While they may sell you on their “no-frills means low costs”…
This has been an incredible week in Fly&Dine. We covered Brazilian steakhouse secrets, new developments at major airport lounges in the US, and so much more. Unless you’re related to me, you probably didn’t read everything on Fly&Dine this week and this is your chance to catch up on the week behind you. Click, read,…
If you’ve got an extra $2,000 a month hanging around, you might want to drop it on Beacon. It’s an all-you-can-fly service (if you want all-you-can-eat, click here) in the Northeast US that gives unlimited flights on private planes from New York/Boston/The Hamptons/Nantucket to anyone with a membership. The website is fairly sparse, so there’s…
What a week in Fly&Dine! After barely posting while I was down in Fiji, I rebounded to post a ton of great stories that featured everything from Alec Baldwin’s airport generosity to a wonderful weekend spent at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs where I ate and drank myself to happiness. If you missed any of…
