Cathay Pacific misspelled their own name on a freshly painted plane. Apparently the painters doing the job had no F's left to give. The airline dubbed this 'a special livery' while acknowledging the plane would need to go in for warranty work. ...

Transatlantic Business Class From $650 One Way

Business class fares originating in Europe to the US are often cheaper than fares which originate in the U.S. I occasionally see $1000 roundtrip fares originating in Europe. Last year there was even a $400 one-way Europe-US fare on Star Alliance member TAP Air Portugal.

TAP is back with amazing fares across the Pond, originating in Europe. You can book them either one way (Europe to U.S.) or roundtrip (Europe – U.S. – Europe). In fact $651 or $656 one way fares are available most days from mid-November through summer.

Southwest Joins Delta and Alaska With Free Inflight Messaging – While American Says No

Delta and Alaska offer free inflight messaging, you don't have to buy internet. Days after Delta announced it in September of last year, American announced that they would do it also. Yesterday I got an admission from American that they were walking away from their promise to offer free inflight messaging.

It turns out that Southwest is rolling free messaging too. That'll leave only major U.S. airlines that have been run by Scott Kirby not offering it.

American Airlines Backtracks, Isn’t Rolling Out Free Inflight Texting After All

Earlier in the month when American Airlines promoted that they had added live TV to over 100 planes I pointed out that they still hadn't added free inflight texting the way they had promised one year ago and which Delta and Alaska already offer.

American had announced free texting right after Delta made their announcement. But American didn't follow through. They aren't saying never, but will no longer even say it's coming.

Check Out This Price List for Stolen Frequent Flyer Miles

Here are the results from a survey of Berlusconi Market, Dream Market, and Olympus Market. Where they present more than one data point I average them for this chart.  It's important to note that these are asking prices.  The people selling miles may or may not have a good idea of what they're worth, and in some cases may be looking for a sucker (buying 500 Expedia points?).
