Spirit Airlines’ final bankruptcy filing makes the blame game look beside the point: in its last full month, the airline lost $327 million and had just $72 million left in unrestricted cash. Even the proposed $500 million taxpayer bailout would not have saved it for long, because Spirit had not...

Later than expected, I've returned with my fourth annual edition! Do you agree with my 2026 travel grievances, or am I way off?

American Airlines is moving the end-of-flight shutdown earlier, which means laptops away sooner, seats upright sooner, and cabin service ending higher in the descent. The reason is flight attendant turbulence safety — but data suggests the injury risk this targets is extraordinarily rare.

Still on my first day in Iceland after having arrived from the United States earlier that morning and visited such sites as the bridge between the North American and Eurasian continental plates at Miðlína, the Brimketill lava rock pool, the ruins at the oldest lighthouse in Iceland known as Reykjanesviti, I ventured on to Krýsuvík geothermal area. Although a...

Frequent flyers who use an airplane like a sky-high office are in for a nasty shock as more and more airlines introduce new rules that will mean less time to be productive, all while the plane is still very much in the air. On Saturday, it emerged that American Airlines...

An American Airlines million-miler says he boarded a Phoenix–El Paso flight and found a used condom at his seat — then got a customer service response that read like he had complained about crumbs. Airlines are not just selling transportation from A to B. They are selling basic sanitary...

Hawaiian Airlines will end complimentary meals in economy class on most mainland flights, marking the end of an era for the last U.S. carrier still offering free meals in the back of the aircraft. The replacement menu looks genuinely better, but passengers will now have to pay for it and...

I wondered if the Park Hyatt Auckland would rank up there with other Park Hyatts, so I went to find out!

When JetBlue replaced Even More Space with EvenMore in early 2025, the change initially looked like a fairly simple rebranding exercise. The airline still offered extra-legroom seats, but added a…

DHS is reportedly warning United Airlines to prepare for the potential shutdown of Customs processing at Newark Liberty International Airport, a move that would create aviation chaos in order to score political points. This is another foolish idea from an administration that is rapidly losing public trust and confidence, even...

It’s always fun when you see a cheap business class flight on Google flights. What is even more…

First class upgrades were once the reason to chase top-tier airline status. But with American selling those seats instead of clearing elites, and Southwest adding extra legroom, lounges, and likely a premium card, my loyalty math from Austin may be changing: mid-tier American status could be enough, while Southwest may...

The new era of “basic” tickets and award tickets tied to revenue pricing make it essential to plan carefully when using your Miles & Mores points, lest you face a cancellation fee of up to €1,500 (i.e. forfeit your trip) or find your mileage ticket is simply nonrefundable. Lufthansa Miles...

I find this story to be interesting on a couple of levels, beyond what meets the eye. I also can’t help but wonder about the circumstances that caused this…

The Staples Mastercard gift card deal is ending today. It is your last chance to rack up some bonus points fee free.

American Airlines is charging $30 for what may be the worst seat on the plane: a last-row middle seat by the bathrooms. The only reason to consider paying is not comfort — it is that skipping advance seat assignment can leave basic economy passengers more exposed if an oversold flight...

It kind of amazes me how often we see viral stories about arguments that arise over seat recline on airplanes. Perhaps the reason this always goes so viral is because of how polarizing this topic is. Don’t get me wrong, I have my opinions, but fundamentally my belief is simply...
