Longer range, more bugs, co-brand battles and a melted plane lead this week’s episode, with lots more also in the show. C’mon in!
Telling tales and enjoying a winter holiday in Zagreb, Croatia. The sass mostly comes from others, not us.
Fly for the food, stay for the company, collect (or burn) some points along the way. Just a quick weekend trip to Hong Kong and Beijing from the USA, because we can.

Real-world experience with a new LCC long haul product and lots of talk about more new LCC routes. Plus China/Taiwan troubles continue and some super-cool landing gear will be flying soon.
Will the Singapore-Newark route really fly? Some of us are more skeptical than others. Plus, United’s new elite status for corporations, body scanner cameras for the subway, gentrification sucks, Twitter sucks, US traffic from China tanked and more.
Hi there! It looks like you’re trying to record a milestone podcast. Would you like some help with that? Maybe we should’ve answered yes on that one. We’re joined by Ed Pizza from Miles To Go this week to celebrate our 200th episode with the usual fun and inanity. C’mon in!
If you’re going to sneak into Canada we suggest a Trojan Zamboni as the obvious choice for transportation. And apparently Quebec is the best place to make your move.

Clicking the like button costs one Marriott employee his job. American is crying foul in Chicago and Delta’s efforts to remain neutral aren’t working out so well. Plus, an awful way to motivate employees comes to United Airlines!
