Flight Food Review: Copa Business Class LAX-PTY
As everyone knows, Panama is the gastronomic center of the world. Okay, okay, maybe it’s not. But the good news is, Copa Airlines still puts out a decent plate of food when you’re flying from LAX to Panama City in Business Class. Is it the best airline meal I’ve ever had? Not by a long…

Pool, Pita, and Pleasure at the Fairmont Miramar
Ask anyone what their favorite part of summer is and you’ll hear a lot of talk of grilled meats, watermelon, and cold beers. We (and by “we” I mean “humans”) love a good cookout. Now what happens when you replace Uncle Jerry and his overcooked flank steaks? You get a meal at The Kitchen at…
Delta Makes Huge Additions to On-Board Experience
At last night’s Delta Altitude event in Los Angeles, we were able to sample the newest additions to Delta’s in-flight program and I have to say, things are looking pretty sweet for Delta passengers. Or savory, as the case may be. The biggest news to come out of the event is that chefs Jon Shook…
Are American Airlines Free Economy Meals Any Good?
Airline food is the Rodney Dangerfield of cuisine. When it’s free, people complain that it’s bad. When it’s not free, they complain it costs too much. It always reminds me of the joke that opens Annie Hall (you can stop after ten seconds): Such small portions, indeed. So when American Airlines announced that they’d be…
Your Next Favorite Cash Back App is DOSH [sponsored post]
You like free money, right? We all do. While pennies from heaven sounds nice in theory, the reality is that we’d all wind up with a lot of welts and bruises if coins started raining down on us. Pennies have a lot of velocity, right? Instead of hoping for a meteorological fortune to fall your…
The Real Moneymakers for Airlines
Have you ever thought about how airlines actually make money? Bag fees, on-board meals, priority access — those are the easy ones. But what about the actual seat price? Does economy class make economic sense? I’m not an economist, so I can’t answer any of your questions. Luckily, there’s a video for that. A video that…
The Definitive List of the Best Foods at Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s is a cult that happens to focus on groceries instead of, say, celestial utopias. Unlike the cults that promise eternal life on Saturn, TJoe’s offers great prices, free samples, and a kitschy explorer theme. If you live near one, I can almost guarantee that you’ve joined the cult (Welcome! We’re so happy to…
5 Ways to Fight #LeggingsGate
This tweet (and subsequent tweets) just lit the entire internet on fire: 1) A @united gate agent isn’t letting girls in leggings get on flight from Denver to Minneapolis because spandex is not allowed? — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) March 26, 2017 Whoa whoa whoa, Internet! It seems like we’ve got a pretty significant controversy on…
The Reason Gummy Bears Are Upright May Surprise You…
Maybe I should have called this “This That Make You Go Hmmm” Week on Fly&Dine, because yesterday we looked at the right way to ride an escalator and today we’re digging into the reason why gummy bears look more like cartoon bears than real ones. I was reading about how HARIBO, the German gummy candy company,…
You’ve Been Using Escalators Wrong
After discovering this news, I’m like 95% sure that my entire world is shattered. Get ready because I’m about to shatter yours, too. You know how you’re supposed to stand on the right and walk on the left when you’re on an escalator? Apparently that’s completely wrong, according to the head of DC’s Metro system.…
You Need This South Bay Brunch.
I think about breakfast/brunch as a meal the same way I think about Emilio Estevez as a Sheen. I’m glad it’s there but I wouldn’t be all that upset if it disappeared and left dinner (Martin) and lunch (Charlie) as the only remaining meals. This brings up an interesting point: Where is Emilio Estevez? Has anybody…
