In the first ever Fly&Dine “7 Reasons to Visit,” we head down to San Diego for a trip to the opulent Fairmont Grand Del Mar. There are luxury hotels that feel like a nice place to stay and there are luxury hotels that feel like you get to step into a fantasy life. The Fairmont…
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…
You may or not know that this Sunday is National Cheeseburger Day. While we can spend all day arguing the merits of a made-up holiday like this, there’s no way to argue with what Delta has chosen to do to celebrate the day. Thanks to their partnership with Union Square Hospitality Group, Delta is going…
The coastlines of Playa del Carmen are covered in miles upon miles (kilometers upon kilometers?) of resorts, but after spending a weekend at Mahekal Beach Resort, there’s a good chance you won’t need to explore anywhere else in the Riviera Maya. That’s because Mahekal offers something for everyone: beachside villas, jungle apartments, several dining outlets,…
There’s no celebrity chef that has spread his name as far and as wide as Wolfgang Puck. At airports, college campuses, supermarkets, and pretty much anywhere you can purchase food, the Austrian-born chef has made his presence known and now there’s another outlet to get your globally-inspired comfort food at Dulles (IAD) where Wolfgang Puck…
While individual restaurants have the ability to change and adapt to new trends on the fly, airport restaurants are much less nimble. It may help to think of traditional restaurants as speed boats and airport restaurant operations more like aircraft carriers, locked on course until a cadre of generals choose to go in a different…
Fly&Dine Contributor Paul Bacon returns with a delicious journey through Helsinki. Take it away, Paul… My wife has a bucket list and on that list is the Aurora Borealis. We struck out in Sweden at the Ice Hotel due to clouds and warm temperatures*. We decided to try Iceland but there were issues with Sky…
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…
If you’re flying Delta on Valentine’s Day this year, you may be in for a very sweet treat. Passengers flying from SFO and LAX to JFK (and vice versa) will be celebrating the most romantic day of the year (according to Hallmark, at least) with a free three-pack of mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa.…
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and if you want to survive it, you should probably start drinking now. Thankfully, the nation’s airports are happy to help. While impersonal airport bars have been a staple for years, now travelers can get their drink on with way better options than ever before. Wine bars are…
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…
The celebrity chef trend shows no signs of dying down thanks to the proliferation of food TV shows and that includes the sub-trend of celebrity chefs at airports. Top Chef Michael Voltaggio has been killing it with ink.sack at LAX for years now and Rick Bayless cemented himself at the top of the airport celeb…
“Farm-to-table” may go down as the biggest food trend of the past decade. People started caring a lot more about where their food came from and restaurants responded by including lists of farms and other purveyors on their menus. Airlines, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care. After all, they have a captive group…
