8 Reasons to Get Citi’s American Airlines Business Card Before the 70,000 Mile Offer Gets Pulled

There's a better offer than I've ever seen before for the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Mastercard®. It's a card I picked up myself for the bonus miles, which is useful because there's no longer a great way to earn miles through another credit card and transfer those miles to American. And for all of my criticisms, there's no mileage currency I wind up spending more often than my AAdvantage miles.

Southwest Airlines Baggage Handler Plays Toss The Luggage, The Fist Pump is Priceless

A passenger who flew Southwest Airlines from Tampa to Phoenix caught cell phone video of a baggage handler tossing boxes coming off the aircraft into a bin. Even boxes of live fish.

What makes our hero more than just your average negligent employee is the enthusiasm for his sport. He bounces on the balls of his feet as he readies to toss a box. And after he nails his throw he offers a fist pump. Victory over great customer service is his!

Boeing 787 Full of Passengers Held Up Until Passengers Came Up With $360 to Pay for Repairs

In 2012 an Air France flight bound for Beirut diverted to Damascas and passengers were forced to come up with cash for additional fuel. The pilot couldn't use a company credit card because of financial sanctions imposed on Syria.

So as insane as it sounds it's not without precedent that passengers on a Star Alliance member LOT Polish Boeing 787 flight were asked to reach into their pockets to cover repair costs to the plane's hydraulic pump before a Beijing to Warsaw journey could begin last Monday.

Aeroflot Revokes Elite Status From Journalists and Customers Who Criticize the Airline

Earlier this year Aeroflot announced that they would revoke the elite status of passengers who behaved badly inflight. Accounts would be closed and miles forfeit.

That policy is now being used to punish journalists and customers who criticize or embarrass the airline. As Yakov Smirnoff might have said, "In Soviet Russia, elite status downgrades you!"

American Airlines Introduces A Flight Worse Than All its Others

American is introducing a flight to compete with all of the painful experiences they've offered to customers in the past -- and that's certainly worse than anything else they're offering today.

Starting in May their Miami to Brazil's capital of Brasilia flight will no longer be flown by a Boeing 757 with lie flat business class seats. Instead they'll run the flight with a Boeing 737 MAX. Since the plane has no ovens in back, economy customers will eat hummus.
