After reading a blog over on Gadling.com: Cockpit Chronicles, "Food in the Cockpit, How it's Prepared", it got me thinking of my travels and some of the great food selections I have enjoyed when traveling in First Class as a passenger.

I believe I got the idea of taking a few pics of my food from AirlineMeals.net. It's a site where people like you and me can send photos to be added, by class of service, airline, and route. Either way, I started taking pics of some of my travels over ...

An Airbus A380 operated by Air France hit a Delta Air Lines (Comair) CRJ700 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International airport, spinning the smaller plane and its occupants 90 degrees. Here is the video!

The next generation of airport dining has arrived at New York Kennedy and LaGuardia airports. In a partnership between Delta, OTG Management, and the airport authority, passengers flying through New York City's two largest airports will be able to order food from the comfort of the gate area and have it promptly delivered.
