If I told you that there was a new show on cable called Flight Attendant School, you would probably think that it’s a new series on Cinemax After Dark.  At least I hoped it was.  Alas, it is not.
The Travel Channel is launching a new reality show called Flight Attendant School beginning this Thursday.  The [...]

This one sorta came out of left field:  Frontier Airlines said yesterday that they may face a cash crunch because of the intense competition expected in Denver due to Southwest’s arrival.  They’re also not particularly thrilled with a bankruptcy-boosted resurgence from United.  Don’t go cashing in your Frontier miles just yet, but this announcement just [...]

Frontier has a pretty cool auction going on right now to promote their frequent flyer program. They are auctioning off a Mercedes M-Class to the highest bidder using Frontier frequent flyer miles. It’s already up over 100,000 miles, though the auction doesn’t close until July 28th. Keep in mind, that at $.01/mile, [...]

Lufthansa has really stepped up their amenities for business and first class travelers, offering a dedicated terminal (yes, a dedicated terminal) at Frankfurt Airport, private flights to continuing destinations in Europe, and a personal assistant.  Now, the airline is considering offering live TV to these passengers on their flights (this should make those of you [...]

Independence Air announced that it will offer the hand-held Digi-Player entertainment system on its flights to the West Coast.  The small entertainment unit, which offers 10 movies, 10 episodes of television shows and a bunch of music, costs $10 per flight.  Kinda steep, but not a bad option.  The press release all sneaks in there [...]

My friends will often ask me if a given airline is safe.  Usually it is something ridiculous (Is Frontier safe?), and in response I mock them for their stupidity.  That was a joke. Har. All US airlines are safe.  That wasn’t my point.  My point was that sometimes even airlines that sound slightly sketchy are [...]

AirTran announced that it will offer XM satellite radio on its flights, and that 20 of its aircraft will feature the smiling face of Elton John (for some reason) painted on the side (see link above).  If you haven’t heard satellite radio, it’s incredible.
Which brings me to my flights on JetBlue and Song earlier this [...]

After an attempt to turn Los Angeles into a focus city, Frontier Airlines is abandoning the effort, eliminating flights to Philadelphia and Kansas City in February.  Frontier faced brutal competition on its LAX routes from incumbent carriers, including a ridiculous fare war with Northwest, leading to Frontier pulling out of the MSP-LAX market earlier this [...]

A while back Frontier Airlines said that it would cap all fares at $299.  Well, yesterday the carrier doffed its cap, so to speak, and raised the top fare on 8 of its routes somewhat permanently and in its Florida routes on a seasonal basis.  The airline says only a small percentage of its passengers [...]

United’s lowfare carrier TED will begin offering onboard DVD rentals to its passengers. The cost will be $12. JetBlue gives you live TV for free, Frontier offers live TV for $5, but somehow, someway, TED expects to get $12 for DVD rentals. Keep in mind that most TED flights are in the [...]
