Top 5 Ways US Airways Might Increase Revenues or Reduce Costs
Ever get the feeling US Airways is a sinking ship that’s throwing off as much weight as it can to stay afloat? This week we’ve seen the airline drop inflight entertainment on domestic flights and ditch all the onboard equipment. They’re...

Alaska to Hawai’i (Trip Report)
I had been looking forward to this vacation for a long time. My family headed out to Maui to celebrate my dad’s 65th birthday and we decided to fly Alaska over there. The airline was fantastic, and the crews were both stellar. Unfortunately, the...

Topic of the Week: My 2,000th Post and a Look Back

There were a couple of somewhat minor milestones in the eyes of travelers this week, but I thought it was worth sharing. First, Continental and United started operating on a single operating certificate. Even though they’re using the old Continental...

A Couple of Interesting Websites

Am I Negatively Biased Against American? (Ask Cranky)
