I'm on my way back to Kansas City after spending the past four days on the oneworld MegaDO. Sponsored by American Airlines, Hyatt Hotels, MilePoint, and oneworld, we participated in everything from evacuation drills and flight training at AA's training facility in Dallas, to a tour of Boeing's 737 manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, as well as an opportunity to tour the Qantas A380 and a brand new Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300. I'll post a detailed report by the end of the ...

I've got a reader question that I wrote a response to, and after writing a long response, I decided it might be appropriate for everyone. Bakersfield Ramin writes...

Hey There!

So I'm in Dallas now, and i fly back to Los Angeles every 2-3 weeks, and I figured that American Airlines flies out a lot from DFW - so I'd use them. I signed up w/ their Citibank card for the miles. They gave me about 40,000 miles for spending 2k in the first 6 months and 1 mile for every dollar I ...

If your first reaction is, "Delta flies from Oakland to Los Angeles??" you're in good company. I had no idea until I booked it. We're flying down to LA for the long weekend, and my go-to flights are out of SFO, but the Delta OAK-LAX flight was only $60... plus, we're going to be ...

When I originally booked my V Australia Business Class ticket via Delta miles, I had a long layover at LAX that I was hoping to change as the date got closer.  Eventually I convinced myself that this was a good thing, I could get out of the airport a bit before a 15 hour flight.  That and I struggled with Delta's famous award availability.  So I embraced this and decided to make the most of the time I had.

I planned on going for a run in the nice warm LA air, as I try ...

I wish I could say I am surprised, but I am not: a Transportation Security Administration Officer at Los Angeles International Airport was busted on Sunday for aiding and abetting a drug smuggler sneak 15lbs of marijuana past security. Turns out she had helped the guy nine times in the past with a payout of $500 each incident.

Peaks Jr. admitted he bribed a TSA agent, Dianna Perez, to let his suitcase go through security screening for an American Airlines flight. He and Perez also ...

As I mentioned previously, I ended up getting stranded at LAX for 7 hours last weekend on my way home from the oneworld MegaDO launch party.  So I decided to purchase a discounted pass to the Delta Sky Club at LAX.

The Facilities

The LAX Sky Club is a fairly nice lounge, and because it does provide a significant amount of international feed, it is a fully featured club, including showers.

And although it is in dispensers, they are the Korres ...
