Another Photo Post

I have tons of photos and promotions are non-existent.

Happy Photo Day

Windy here, but smooth air after take off.

Southwest Operates About Half of All 737-700's

Blues Brothers

United's bring your own device streaming movies includes Blue Brothers. It holds up well, but boy the 70's look rough.

Thanks United

Good Luck Out There

It's a mad house. A mad house!

Now That's Cool

A new German firm is making cool household items from airliner scrap. You can buy a hot tub from an A320 or an neat fireplace.

Happy Photos

Enjoy.

Hawaiian Updated Their Logo

The 50th state airline is following the lead of the 49th state airline and is updating their logo. I'm always in favor of planes that aren't all white.

Lame

Not Lame

Cool

WestJet Will Buy Dreamliners

WestJet must think it's the Norwegian of North America because they are buying 787-900 Dreamliners to supplement their core 737 operation.

That's A Big Step Up from 767's or 737's

Should I Buy Basic Economy from United Airlines

Should you buy United Airlines Basic Economy fares? It's a surprisingly complicated answer, so I drew it out in a Visio diagram. It comes down to do you care about where you sit and qualifying for elite status. The less you care, the less you pay.

Little Touches at LAS

I had extra time to enjoy the little touches at Las Vegas McCarran Airport.

Don't Present Bad Options When Checking Out

Alaska Airlines presenting these bad options when checking out. It looks amaturish and might encourage cart abandonment. Next time just keep those choices to yourself Alaska.

I Don't Want to Pay More than Double

Who Does Runway Work at Rush Hour?

SFO closed a runway yesterday for repairs, so my flight was hideously delayed. 

Runway 3 Left at JNB

Lavatory Wall Patern

I guess it would be cool to have your artwork reproduced thousands of times, but I hope this guy has other works to be proud of. It works well to hide dirt and not be noticed.

Flying First Class - Liquid Diet

I actually paid my own money for a first class ticket on United from Denver to San Francisco. The dinner options included a seafood stew. I've had good luck with United soups on past trips, so ordered it without hesitation. It was great. I also enjoyed drinking the front of the plane out of Bailey's. 

Quite Tasty

Ahhhh - Flying Should Be Relaxing

Window seats rock.

It's Still Funny

Really?

Don't travel with pets.

Just Leave It At Home

I'm With United on This One

The crazies don't always have service animals.

Great Day To Fly

Weather looks great!

I'd Like A United Tulip Next

Thank You Westjet

I love April Fools jokes.

Ambitious Upsell United

United sure is ambitious on the upgrade prices the day of departure. $35 and hour is a reasonable rate for me if I'm having a lousy day and it's not a 737.

$230 / Hour for First

Short Notice Bonus Miles

If you're spending $200 online, the United Mileage Mall has a 500 mile bonus. This could be enough to sway me from MrRebates temporarily. Offer ends April 1st.

A Little Here and There Adds Up

United Enforces Rules

Your travel on United must be in accordance with he contract of carriage. If you don't agree with the terms, don't fly them. Also employee benefit travel has its own set of rules and must be followed. I would like a stricter dress code for paying customers too.

Farewell Virgin America and Product Differentiation

Alaska Airlines announced that they will be discontinuing the Virgin America brand and product. The VA first class seat was the best standard seat in the USA. I guess United's lame and uncomfortable 737 cabin won't looks so bad now.

Departing Soon

Important update on your upcoming flight

Denver airport (DEN) is experiencing especially high volumes of traffic. To allow time for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening for you and your bags, we recommend arriving at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure time, especially if you’re checking baggage.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you on board.

Really United? Not really making me excited to travel.

Prepare for Disappointment

Short Flights

I'm averaging less than 1,000 per flight this year. Status will be difficult without a trip to Asia.

A Few Dreamliner Segments Would Do Nicely

Delta Product Photography

Product photography sets the tone and impression of your brand. Delta private jets did an acceptable and them miserable job in the same email.

One Is Miserable

And One Is Passable

Korean Air 747-8

I saw the Korean Air 747-8 landing at SFO today and I want to be on that flight. The plane looks graceful and cool as it descends over the bay. I could use my Delta miles (HAHAHAHAHA, right) or my Chase Ultimate Rewards points to snag a seat. Business or First will do.

The 777 Just Isn't the Same

5th Night Free Tip

SPG, Marriott, and Hilton offer a 5th night free when paying with points. This is a great bargain, if you plan on staying 5 nights. It is also beneficial if you are staying 4 nights. Book a 5th night for the end of your stay and you have a guaranteed late check out. Add the Make a Green Choice card (at SPG) for some bonus points. The 5th night also counts for elite status. You are also protected in case of flight issues that could keep you in town an extra night.

Almost Made It

Farewell MCR

My Coke Rewards is ending their program after many (8+) years. I'll miss entering codes and earning free 20oz bottles of Coke Zero.

Departing Soon

Seriously?

We parked on the wrong line. It took 30 minutes to push us back 3 feet so passengers and luggage could be removed.

Good Luck Today

Bad weather in Houston and SFO today. Good luck United flyers.
