A woman heading to the Austin Airport was frustrated with how long it was taking to get from her hotel to the airport. So she grabbed the driver’s phone and threw it out of the car. The driver stopped the car and got out to retrieve the phone. So she jumped into the driver’s seat and drove off. (Wonder if she still had to pay the fare?)
Alaska Airline’s combination with Hawaiian Air will be good for travelers – offering multiple travel award options and travel destinations. It will open multiple new travel “gateways” with new travel and frequent flyer award options.
Does Delta Air Lines discriminate against Republicans? That’s what one SkyMiles Diamond member is wondering after a recent flight from Detroit to Chicago O’Hare, where he was forced to gate check bags while other passengers carrying just as much on board weren’t hassled at all. He was wearing a Republican Party pin on his lapel. It would seem politics are everywhere these days???
A Russian passenger flew from Copenhagen to Los Angeles on Scandinavian flight 931 last month despite not having a ticket, passport, or visa. He’s being called a stowaway, but he wasn’t hiding.

Footage captured a Spirit Airlines passenger climbing over another man in the aisle after the plane landed and taxied to the gate. He didn’t want to wait to get off the plane, and the man ahead of him apparently wasn’t moving fast enough for him.
A passenger on an American Airlines flight from San Diego to Charlotte was appalled when he saw a flight attendant, “pouring orange juice back into the original container,” that had been poured out for passengers. Wonder what other food and beverages that might recycle during a flight???
American Airlines passengers report being sent to London instead of New York on Sunday when their flight from Antigua was oversold.

Delta Air Lines’ Seattle operation — beware when you travel through or connect via SeaTac — pack your patience!!!
The European Travel Commission has extended the start of their electronic visa required from next year until 2025 — the program would affect travel from the USA to 30 European countries. Good News! One less travel document need for travel to Europe. Maybe this is a sign the electronic visa travel requirement for Americans traveling to Europe will go away for ever???
Grammy-nominated gospel singer Bobbi Storm tried to sing for the plane. A Delta crew member threatened to kick her off if she wouldn’t sit down and shut up. She took to social media to complain about the incident, says Delta reached out to apologize. But they should apologize to the rest of the passengers… and the crew member who was doing the right thing, that they aren’t standing behind.
