No doubt a center of education, technology, and tourism, the Boston metro area has a busy hub over at Logan International Airport. Delta and jetBlue regularly vie to see which has the biggest … market share, with American Airlines, former number one at the airport, sitting comfortably in third place. Still, third place in Boston […]

Lounge Review: St. Louis Admirals Club
Airport lounges getting too “crowded” for you? Good news*: If you’re flying a oneworld Alliance carrier, then you may want to include the St. Louis Admirals Club on your next itinerary. *rules for entry vary based on a number of factors such as ticket class, destination, credit card, stormy weather, Congress, etc. Not being familiar […]
Innovations in Airport Security Are Emerging
In spite of having been mostly disappointed by my first visit to the new Terminal A at Newark International Airport (EWR) earlier this March, there was definitely a highlight worth mentioning– the security checkpoint. I’m not referring to how the airport botched the queuing system (i.e. most fliers with airline status don’t get their own […]
United Is Adding Flights from Newark to this Scottish Gem
Did you think I was referring to Aberdeen, the oil capital? Maybe from Houston. Having temporarily suspended routes between the United States and Scotland during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, United was the first U.S. carrier to resume flights between the two places back in March 2022, from NY/Newark EWR to Edinburgh EDI. Resumptions […]
Japan’s ANA Restarting Two Nonstop Flights to Europe

Saudia Starting Flights to At Least Four Destinations in 2023

China Airlines is one of those carriers, and the other? Saudia. Since my first […]
Singapore Airlines Trialing Paper Utensils
One of these days, I’m hoping to read that airlines will start introducing “Turkish food” as an option, but until then, I have some news about how your next in-flight meal might be presented. Per CNA (formerly Channel NewsAsia), since last month Singapore Airlines has been trialing paper wares on select flights in Economy Class […]
Brandenburg.2: The EU Again Threatens an Entry Fee Starting in 2024
For the title of this post, I was wavering between the current one, and Brandenburg.2: Electric Boogaloo. For some background, Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (BER) was slated to open way back in 2011, but due to a number of issues, only opened on 31 October 2020. Similarly, the European Union’s has frequently delayed its plan […]
