This Man Fired the Board of an Airline When They Cancelled His Flight

Most of us are at the complete mercy of the airlines we fly. When things go wrong I'm a big fan of taking matters into your own hands as much as possible. Know what your alternate flight options are and suggest those instead of relying on airline agents to find you the best flights. Be willing to book alternatives yourself and seek compensation later, including from your credit card company.

One man though took a different approach.

Earn Money Delivering Lost Luggage for Delta

Increasingly airlines are using technology to track bags, prevent loss, and even let you monitor your luggage throughout their journey. That doesn't mean they'll be handled with care by staff, and it still doesn't mean the bags will always make it.

One of the most frustrating parts of losing luggage is waiting to have your bags delivered. It's not fair to have to make a return trip to the airport, you may be nowhere near the airport.

I was sort of excited to be flying a widebody aircraft on such a short hop. The 1100 mile flight would take us about two and a half hours. On the other hand the Boeing 787 we'd be flying had JAL's old business class seats. They ordered the planes so long ago, and deliveries were delayed so long, that they debuted angled business seats. They've been putting in their new business, but it makes sense to put the older product on a regional route.

Still within Asia customers in a premium cabin are used to a much better product than Americans are.

What’s the Best New Card of 2018 So Far?

It's an incredibly competitive market for rewards credit cards. It used to be that most of the money went to the banks, travel partners are getting more but now consumers are too. An arms race for premium rewards cards to capture the attention of consumers started last year, but has only accelerated -- products that have been a year in the making have finally launched.

So it's an embarrassment of riches. Cards that used to be appealing and strong aren't anymore -- even though they've remained the same -- because even better products have come along. With so many new options it can be tough to sort through what's the 'new' best.
