New Staff at the OTR

Apr 6th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

The Online Travel Review welcomes two new staff members to the OTR team: Sage Lanter Blank and Scarlett Jules Blank joined the OTR team today at 12:19pm and 12:23pm. Weighing in at just under 6 pounds each, they’re a huge addition to the OTR, even though they don’t really know anything about airlines yet. Even so, I did think it was rather fitting that instead of writing Blank Twin A on Sage’s crib, hospital staff abbreviated it Blank TWA. I couldn’t have made that up…

Mom’s also doing great…

We’ll be back on Monday (or maybe Tuesday) with all new airline related stuff.

Oh, and congratulations.

Upgrade Travel Better

Airplane toilets really suck… literally - Some light fare for a pre-holiday Friday afternoon… My favorite gimmick from the recent (brilliant) AirTran PR stunt, wherein comedian Mark Malkoff lived on AirTran planes for an entire month, ostensibly to get over his fear of flying. In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
