Just left the Admirals Club at LAX. Right before I left, they put out a huge stack of cookies. Nothing makes up for a two hour delay like some chocolate chip cookies, right? No matter what, I thought you might need a cookie right now — in digital form, at least.
CLARIFICATION: Reader Matt points out that the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ size has always been standard on the Big Three. The difference now appears to be that previously you could have any bag whose dimensions added up to 45″ and now each dimension has to be under 22″, 14″, and 9″ respectively. On to…
It’s hard to believe that I was soaking up the Hawaiian sun a week ago and now I’m sweltering in my tiny house in LA, but life could be much, much worse. If you’re a regular reader, then you were able to follow along as I ate my way through the Kohala Coast on the…
First of all, let’s be honest. First Class on an older AA 757 is a joke. With the exception of the extra elbow and leg room, there’s not much about this cabin that screams premium anymore. On my red-eye flight earlier this week from Kona to LA, I found out that the food matches the…
I got my brand new Citi Executive AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard for two reasons: 100,000 bonus AAdvantage miles and complimentary access to the Admirals Club. As an American Platinum flyer who uses LAX as my home base, that meant I was finally going to get to enjoy the mythical club that overlooks Terminal 4 at…
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…
American Airlines debuted their brand new three-class transcontinental bird this week and the new Airbus A321T has a whole host of features that will make flying from LAX to JFK (or vice versa) a lot more pleasant. I’ll let the other guys handle the seating and entertainment upgrades because all I care about is the…
Guess who’s getting an early Christmas present/right-on-time Hanukkah present? We are. That’s right, if you travel through LAX’s Terminal 4, aka American Airlines’ West Coast hub, then you’re about to have some new dining options very, very soon. In addition to the Homeboy Cafe & Bakery and Sammy’s Wood-Fired Pizza which have already opened, it…
Last week, I wrote about the disappearance of Marcus Samuelsson branding on American Airlines’ in-flight menus. Top Chef Samuelsson had been a consulting chef for American and designed some of their on-board dining options, but while the items listed matched the products formerly listed as Samuelsson creations, they no longer mentioned the Top Chef Masters…
(Photo by Fernando Leon/PictureGroup) UPDATED: The mystery deepens! Wrappers on the sandwiches still have the Marcus Samuelsson branding. I’ll reach out to American Airlines for comment. Stay tuned! On my flight from LAX to ORD today, I noticed that the in-flight menu is missing the familiar “MS” stamp of approval that’s been a staple since…
