A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about new global airline liveries, logos and paint scheme redesigns over the past year, and assessed the good and not-so-good appearances which have been adopted and applied. 

Recently, I stumbled across a thread on airliners.net titled, "Air China's Extremely Outdated Livery" which really got me thinking about how there is a pretty extensive list of global carriers out there who could use with a bit o' touch-up paint jobs.  Or, just need ...

Earlier this year, I departed on a mileage run from San Diego to Hawaii to New York and back again with American Airlines. Although the flights didn’t stand out as anything extraordinary and I never wrote an actual trip report since it was all domestic flying, there was one incident that really stood out above the rest. When boarding the plane from LAX to Honolulu, I noticed the jet bridge had been decorated. I didn’t reach for my camera phone until I got to the airplane, but it ...

After arriving into Honolulu on my American Airlines mileage run, I wandered aimlessly through the open plan terminal looking for my next gate and club lounge. Along the way there is some great plane spotting as there are no windows clouding your view. I just wish I had brought my camera with me instead of just my phone!

After a long walk, and missing the sign twice, I finally found the lounge near the Kona Brewing Company Restaurant and up the stairs. Unfortunately this is ...

I needed about 20,000 elite qualifying miles at the end of last year to re-qualify for Executive Platinum. Luckily the end of year double elite qualifying promotion along with $460 fares to Hawaii from New York made qualification much easier. I booked a flight departing Saturday morning and returning Sunday afternoon: LGA-DFW-HNL-OGG-LAX-JFK.

Since no one was on the road early on Saturday morning in New York, the car service got me to Laguardia in just 20 minutes. The ...

A JFK-LAX American Airlines flight made an unscheduled stop in Kansas City on Friday after a woman refused to stop...singing Whitney Houston songs.

AA quickly issued a statement stating, "The woman was being disruptive and was removed from the plane for interfering with the flight crew...There was a federal air marshal on the aircraft, who subdued the woman and put her in cuffs and removed her from the plane." Yet after being dragged off the aircraft singing "I will always love you," ...

With the impending merger of US Airways and American, I'd speculate that the new combined airline will move to US' larger terminal and abandon American's older terminal. That means the recently renovated Admirals Club probably has only one more year of service.

Along the windows are the typical club seats that you'd find at any Admirals Club. The unique part of the renovation added a larger open space in the middle of the lounge along with a revamped bar ...
