April 6, 2022 Greetings! Last week, I attended Delta's preview of their new headhouse at LAX but forgot to link the story for you. This week, I was back at LAX but this time in T7 to attend a unique, limited-time experience in the United Club Lounges. Now through Friday, April 8 from 2pm to 7pm, they're serving up tasty signature, travel-themed drinks for United Club members to enjoy at LAX, DEN, EWR, IAD, IAH, ORD and SFO. All Club guests 21 and over can get a complimentary drink such as an Italian Paloma or a vodka-based Destination Unknown. My buddy and TV host Josh Gates would love the latter.
What is JetBlue Thinking?
If you receive my daily travel tip newsletter, then you know I've been ragging on a few airlines for the way they mishandled their operations this past weekend. Specifically JetBlue since my sister has been in the middle of that debacle since Friday and still hasn't been able to get home so I have firsthand knowledge of her experience. Now, JetBlue just announced expanding to London and put in a $3.6 billion bid for Spirit Airlines, throwing a huge wrench into Spirit's plans to merge with Frontier. JetBlue's customers would have welcomed this news if it weren't for what happened this past weekend. If JetBlue doesn't have enough staff to maintain their own operations and stranded thousands of customers without paying for their hotel rooms, then how do you think they're going to feel when they hear the news? And that's not all.... You'll never believe how JetBlue's CEO traveled from New York to Boston yesterday. Like I said: What is JetBlue thinking?
