By Cari, on November 26th, 2007% interesting mention of the NY Times article on flying economy class…
Personally, I don’t think coach is that bad. Have I enjoyed Continental’s higher level of service that includes pillows, blankets and snacks? Sure. Would I pay a higher price for it? Probably not. What I did love this weekend was being able to book an exit row seat at the time of OLCI without a) having to be elite and b) having to pay extra. The seat was available and I selected it. It was at the door so I had 4-5 feet of room. Little doubt in my . . . → Keep Going: Flying Coach/Virgin America

When I was first planning my birthday trip, I had no idea where I wanted to go. I would have loved to have been aware of Vayama so I could have plugged in JFK or Newark . . . → Keep Going: Vayama
By Cari, on October 2nd, 2007% When the Airport Becomes a Mall via Fodor’s/Flight Delayed Again – That Feels Good via LA Times
I think the surprising thing about either the blurb or the article is that it’s presented as ‘new’. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by my experiences in the Asian airports, namely Kansai (Osaka), Incheon (Seoul) and Changi (Singapore). Although Incheon is the smaller of the three, it’s had such facilities since at least January 2002 when I was there, same with Singapore when I was there in March, 2002. Is it possible that the US airports are just catching on? I don’t think so – . . . → Keep Going: Airports as far more than a transport hub
