Have you ever felt like you were walking in a postcard? That’s what yesterday felt like to me. The highlight of my day was a great hike up Salmon Huckleberry Mountain with the Nature Concierge at The Resort on Mt. Hood (soon to be a Best Western Premier Collection hotel). Lady Fly&Dine and I also…
We’ve covered the best airline meals and the best airline WiFi, but we’ve never delved into the most important list of all: the best NUMBERS in the entire world! Where does 73 rank? What about 13,982? Luckily, we’ve consulted an entire panel of experts and other mammals to determine the best numbers in the world.…
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.…
There are some topics that come up repeatedly in the tiny corner of the world that Fly&Dine occupies. One of them is why airline food tastes so bad. Another is about who has the best airline food in the whole wide world. They both make sense, based on what internet readers gravitate towards. Explanations of…
It was a slow week over at the all-new Fly&Dine HQ just steps from LAX, but even in the dog days of summer a chance at free wi-fi on Gogo-affiliated flights gets people a-clicking. Even though the original story posted last week, both The Doctor of Credit and Frequent Miler sent readers my way with…
I’m on the East Coast this weekend for the wedding of one of my favorite people on Earth and before I head up to Portland, Maine tomorrow for the wedding festivities, I’m staying for a night in Boston. I’ve been hearing for a while about the Independent Collection hotel group and since I tend to…
I’ve never been a fan of fake marketing holidays (Belgian Waffle Day, International Tape Measure Day, Universal Self-Promotional Marketing Holiday Day), but they do serve a purpose: they give us a reason to talk about a specific topic. Next week is National Aviation Day and to celebrate, American Airlines has fired up the self-promotion machine…
If you’re flying British Airways to/from Heathrow and you don’t have a premium cabin ticket or elite status, you’re going to be sitting at the gate dreaming of free tea and crumpets. That all changed this summer when independent lounge operators Airport Lounge Development (of The Club fame) and Swissport joined forces and opened Aspire,…
It’s been some week, folks. I moved right next to LAX, the GOP held a debate (15 months before the actual election), and NFL training camps are in full swing. If you like acronyms, you loved last week. You also, hopefully, loved Fly&Dine because we had some great stories over the past seven days. Pet…
“That’ll be $9.76. Is that okay?” That was exactly the question posed to me by the cashier at the La Provence Bakery at LAX’s Terminal 4. It was very early on a Sunday morning and I was hungry after rushing into an Uber without breakfast. I wanted something light before my flight to Louisville and…
Guys. I’m in Kentucky. I’m on a bus. You’re about to get a ton of bourbon coverage coming your way, but first, let’s recap the week that was in Fly&Dine. You know how this works: Click on the story. Read it. Come back for more. Airlines Rake in HOW MUCH in Baggage Fees??? SeaLegs…
It’s been a slow week for Fly&Dine, but that’s just because it’s been such a busy week in other areas of my life. In any case, go ahead and read the stories from our midsummer’s night dream (or nightmare for cab drivers) about Uber at LAX, see how Southwest is upping their courtesy game, and…
We’re at the mid-summer mark of our Greatest Hits series here on Fly&Dine. Today, we go back to examine a solution to your device-charging needs at airports. Check it out! Have you ever been stuck at the airport with your phone/tablet battery dying a slow painful death and all of the outlets are taken by…
My Mom is the best. She does all kinds of mom things, like making prime rib when I come into town and driving a Honda Accord with a vanity license plate. She also sends me articles that might make for good Fly&Dine posts. I have zero time today to give you something new, so instead,…
