During my Allegris round the world journey , I had the chance to fly Thai Airways’ Boeing 777 first class from Bangkok to Tokyo. Prior to my flight, I visited the Thai Airways First Class Lounge, located within the Thai Airways Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge. Look, I’ve gotta be honest, this facility made me kind of sad, as it pales in comparison to the ground experience that Thai Airways used to offer in Bangkok, up until a few years ago (which has since been turned into the Coral Finest Busin

Residents near Lantana Airport in Palm Beach County, Florida, are frustrated by a study showing nearby noise levels are within FAA-mandated limits. By FAA standards, anything more than 65 decibels would warrant a noise issue; however, the study found no residential areas exceeded that number. The report noted that noise levels were measured for an average day; however, at certain times, noise levels significantly exceeded the daily average and often surpassed the 65-decibel threshold.

Well, British Airways sure found an interesting way to celebrate the July 4th holiday in the United States. The airline has just hugely jacked up redemption rates on both Alaska and American, and this is a painful devaluation. This is the second time we’ve seen such a devaluation on these redemptions in recent months, and at this point there’s almost no value with these awards (thanks to @twodub33 for flagging this).
