We know why you fly

I've only flown on American Airlines once, when a colleague from Hong Kong made her first--and I just found out: miserable--visit to the US. The only other flights I'd been on prior to that was on China Airlines, Singapore Airlines, JetBlue, Catha...

Change is difficult to adapt to for some, and when it comes to in-flight comfort--especially for long haul flights--I can easily claim that I'm not one to relinquish a good reclining seat. On my last flight to Hong Kong/China via the ever punctual...

Early retirement

2007-12-05T22:05:22Z

Standby

2007-12-01T04:18:28Z

I've managed to book a standby ticket on CX departing to HKG on January 4, 2008. After a stop at LAX on Thursday, I've seen how imperative it is to travel light. The lines were long at the ticket counter, but more so at the baggage security check....
