Build Your Own Business Jet Cabin

Lufthansa Technik has a fun new site allowing you to configure a cabin of a ACJ319 or a BBJ (737-800).  It's fun to play with, but sad to think how modular a bespoke project has become.
I Love Lufthansa

Busy Travel Week

I had a busy travel week, but the windows on United's older 737-800's are filthy.  Here's a picture from a clean Southwest window.

Bad Ad Copy

A hotel chain ran a TV ad promoting rooms for "2,000 points and a few dollars."  Someone in marketing had to approve that copy and thought it was a good idea.  It is because it provides an alluring hook, but no useful data.  Cash & Points offers on their own are meaningless.  Some offers provide massive or minimal discounts, so more detail is needed.  The next ad might promote "0 points and a few dollars" because that's where Delta's frequent flyer program is heading.
Hard To Find Points Availability

Wings Over The Rockies Museum - Denver, Colorado

I purchased a membership to the Wings Over the Rockies museum. The Denver Botanic Gardens was a close second, but only one membership offered an evening with Buzz Aldrin. Wings is a cool museum to explore and they let you go right up and underneath the aircraft. Wings and the Botanic Gardens are both worth a stop if you are in the area.

I Don't Think So Airlines

If I needed to fly Uzbekistan Airways, I suppose I would.  This airline however...
