It’s amazing for me to think that Fly&Dine is now over a year old. When I started the blog, I wanted to have an outlet to talk about the wonderful advances taking place in the food and beverage side of the travel industry. A year later, Fly&Dine has grown into so much more and it’s…
Back in May, I wrote about Bon Appetit’s Andrew Knowlton who suggested becoming an in-flight mixologist and crafting your own cocktails on your next flight. A mere five months later and Knowlton’s ideas have turned into a commercial project (although he doesn’t appear to be involved or get any credit) which allows you to buy…
I imagine the marketing team that came up with “Mint” as the name of JetBlue’s new premium cabin has been patting themselves on the back for months. It’s the perfect evocative brand name; a four-letter word without scorn. Mint is fresh. Mint is financially sound. Mint is crisp and cool and exactly what you want…
This has been one of my favorite weeks in Fly&Dine history. Not because of anything on the blog itself, but because this weekend marked BACon2: The BoardingArea Conference in Las Vegas where I’ve spent many hours in a frigid conference room learning so much about how to be a better blogger. There’s going to be…
Everybody knows Wolfgang Puck. He basically created the concept of the celebrity chef with Spago in the halcyon days of early ’80s Los Angeles and since then, he’s become (quite literally) a household name with Wolfgang Puck frozen foods filling freezers all across America. As a man with restaurants all over the world, including a…
Ever since American Airlines launched their Chefs’ Conclave back in 1988, carriers around the world have tried to snag the best culinary talent to consult on their in-flight culinary programs. Now it’s considered industry standard to have a well-known chef putting their names on airplane menus. Japan’s ANA goes well beyond industry standard, though, with…
We all know that healthy eating is important. We also know that burgers are delicious. How do you reconcile those two ideas? For me, it’s a little of column A and a little of column B. While some people are better at living a hybrid of healthy and indulgent, I’m more extreme. I like to…
I took last week off (with the exception of a photo of these delicious chicken wings) because I wanted to push pause as I figured out which direction I wanted to take Fly&Dine. If you haven’t already gathered, Fly&Dine is unique in the BoardingArea portfolio. We’re a hybrid food and frequent traveler blog and with…
Like a hyper-organized soccer mom or OCD serial killer, the internet seems to thrive on the existence of lists. Day in and day out, somebody is publishing “The 106 Best ____” and “4,703 Tips to Improve Your ___.” As a member of the online media, let me just say that lists are about as exciting…
When it comes to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Cathay Pacific pretty much rules the roost. How else to explain the fact that they operate five different lounges at HKG? FIVE! That’s a tremendous amount and during my recent trip back from HKG -> LAX, I had just enough time to stop in at two…
It’s the third Fly&Dine Interview Giveaway and this time we’re talking to Scott from Hack My Trip. His site is an incredible resource for anyone in the frequent flyer game and make sure to check out his tips and tricks for getting the most out of your miles and points. If you want to win…
If you watch food TV, you know Curtis Stone. He’s currently the host of Top Chef Masters, but you may have caught him on America’s Next Great Restaurant, Around the World in 80 Plates, Take Home Chef, or any one of the fourteen thousand* shows on which he’s appeared (*possible slight exaggeration). No matter how…
While everyone may be freaking out about Delta’s new 80’s-themed safety video (it was all over my Facebook feed last week), Air New Zealand has been making viral safety videos for a while now. You may have caught their incredible Lord of the Rings safety video back in 2012 or their more recent one where…
Let’s say you’re traveling to Chicago. You booked a flight on American and you’ll get into O’Hare around lunchtime. You have two choices: buy something overpriced from the plane or buy something overpriced at the terminal. How are you going to make your decision? Where are you going to get the information that will help…
