Have you ever selected a destination based primarily on wanting to stay at a particular hotel? Whether because the hotel received glowing reviews, because someone recommended it, or just because it sounded cool to you?
Have you found yourself wishing you could print your own bag tags? And if you do print your own bag tags and your luggage goes missing because the tags fall off, do you think the lost luggage itself should be your penalty for a job poorly done – or should the airline fire you?
A group of Milepoint members and presumably influential AA employees have formed a covert coalition to get things done – we’ll call them Milepoint and AA Friends and Insiders Association (MAAFIA).
I am a big fan of two things: free breakfast and the relationship between wikis and forums. But this thread has challenged my belief system on one of these fronts.
I have long believed, and still believe, that if SeatGuru, SeatExpert or some other similar site could develop an algorithm that would highlight seats that are positioned next to seats with a low chance of being filled, that site would gain an enormous audience.
In this post I would like to express my criticism of a fellow BoardingArea blogger – Wandering Aramean. I’m not judging his blog mind you. What I’m judging is his posting style within the travel community forums.
In years past did you know or care what the chef who prepared the food you were eating looked like? If you did you wouldn’t have been eating at Emeril’s in New Orleans or The Lady and Sons in Savannah. But then along came The Food Network and now we watch De Laurentis, Ramsay, Ray, and McKenna.
The discussion highlighted in this post isn’t about flying with execs – that’s another topic for another day. In this thread men discuss the best way to travel with those traditional business attire uniforms – suit jackets and pants.
I’m not sure if traveltoomuch’s idea related to carry-on size restriction rules falls under the heading of “practical joke” or “civil disobedience”, but no matter how it would be classified I sure hope I’m at the gate when he pulls it off.
In my opinion, some of the best threads over on Milepoint are the photo sharing threads. If you love trip reports with lots of great photos, you will love these threads.
