If you won’t be chowing down on a pre-made box of hummus and beef jerky on your flight and the new dining options in the airport itself don’t get you going (although they should! Check out Petrossian, Rock & Brews, Kogi, and more!), surely you want to know where to eat near LAX. Luckily, my…
BuzzFeed, the world’s favorite content coupon-clipper, has put together an excellent post on their top 16 airports that are worth visiting for more than just flying purposes. The list ranges from an art gallery in London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) to a massive, two-story slide in Lyon, France. Hey! I was just in Lyon and I…
Uber is my favorite way to get around in major cities. I use it here in LA to get to and from the airport when I need a ride and I use it regularly in Chicago when it’s more convenient to pay for a short ride than to jump on the train. Ride sharing seems…
UPDATE: Some readers have pointed out that American is also in the process of upgrading their lounge food offerings to include more real food. The war is happening, people! Soon we’ll be getting cooked-to-order steaks and Baked Alaska before our flights. This is just the beginning! United has fired the first salvo in the upcoming…
Looking for great places for families in Madrid? Summer from Mommy Points is and instead of just commenting on her post, I’m putting up a quick and easy guide for anyone going to Spain. I can’t speak to Barcelona or the Costa Brava, but I was just in Madrid back in October and I definitely…
Mint, JetBlue’s first class product, is coming to an airport near you. In fact, it’s already there if you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York. Now JetBlue is rolling out Mint to their Caribbean destinations and that’s good news for anyone that wants to turn their vacation into a First Class affair. The…
The All-Star Chef Classic came on the scene last year as a food event that’s trying to break the mold. Instead of similar events across the United States where a bunch of big-name chefs set up shop and serve tiny portions of their greatest hits, the All-Star Chef Classic vowed to up their game and…
This was one of the best weeks in Fly&Dine history! If you missed anything from the past seven days, pretend there’s a big test coming up and cram cram cram. That didn’t sound right… In any case, make your Sunday even better by checking out these great stories from this week: Fly&Dine’s Hotel Brunch…
Some times you’re just having one of those days. The only answer — besides elaborate revenge on your boss that can’t be traced back to you in case it backfires spectacularly — is sugar. These are just a few of the desserts that have already made March a better place to be in the Land…
It’s Pi Day! What’s Pi Day, you say? It’s March 14th, 2015 aka 3.14.15! That’s the value of Pi, which for non-math majors is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Basically, it’s an excuse for me to write about pie since they’re homophones (pi sounds exactly like pie). This is also the…
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…
Sweden, that magical land of conflict neutrality and bikini teams, has done it again. This time, they found out how to make charity completely awesome. Swedavia, the state-owed group that controls all of the airports in Sweden, has partnered with the Red Cross to come up with a novel way to get you to donate…
Since the 80s, sneaker companies have realized that getting athletes to endorse their shoes translates to big money. Over twenty-five years after the launch of the first Air Jordans, superstar kicks are an even bigger business than anyone could have imagined. Since chefs have risen to celebrity status, it only makes sense that they would…
Another day, another outlet posting about not eating beans before flights. It’s a little old, don’t you think? Actually, that’s rather rude of me because the group that made the post is AARP, the advocacy group for retired people that also sounds like the noise a seal makes. They posted “10 Foods to Avoid Before…
