Today, in a Senator's Lounge in Munich, I decided to chat up a cute-enough agent to try to get free Wi-Fi.  In the German Senator's Lounges, Wi-Fi is free to First Class and Hon Circle members, and pay access for everyone else.  T-Mobile runs the service, and it is priced much like it was when Delta, United, and American were charging for the service in the US.

Delta was also nice enough to let us know that the evil-union-mechanics are causing problems.  Thanks for stretching it out, guys.  We really want to keep ...

So things are not going so well in Honolulu right now.  Last year, around the same time as the NWA merger announcement, DL announced the closing of multiple Crown Rooms.  Some of them mattered almost not at all (like CVG and BOS, where there were multiple clubs) and some of them mattered just a little bit (like SEA, although AS always had the better club, and the World Club is there).  On the other hand, some of them have ended up being a fairly big deal - like ...
