Well that’s a first for me. Delta flight attendant explicitly made announcement telling passengers not to place feet on video screens. 🤮

OMFG. American flight attendant's first announcement after takeoff was credit card pitch. Now that she has passed through the cabin with applications she's doing FAQs over the PA. I have a question -- can I have a drink, please?

Air France’s chic AF first class cabin on the 777 — just four seats, and each has a curtain for full privacy. Without a doubt the most elegant cabin in the sky, in my opinion. 😍 The six hour flight from New York isn’t really long enough to enjoy it.

Anyone have recommendations for buying cheap, disposable headphones/earbuds in bulk? It's mind-boggling how many people on planes and in lounges watch stuff without headphones, and I feel like distributing them is the only solution.

Mint is simultaneously the most refreshing and frustrating experience in domestic air travel. It’s refreshing because it shows you how good flying domestically can be, and it’s frustrating because it reminds you just how bad most US airlines are.

La Compagnie’s new A321neo, now flying between Paris and Newark. The plane has just 76 fully flat business class seats. This has to be the best values across the Atlantic — my one-way ticket on this nearly nine hour flight cost under $700. 🇫🇷✈️🇺🇸

“I think there might be some confusion. There's no such thing as the 787-800. The plane is officially designated the 787-8. You can even find this on Qatar and Boeing websites. You might want to send a correction to those sources that incorrectly listed it as the 787-800. ;-)”
