Articles

American Airlines CEO says onboard violent incidents must stop – Reuters 

I have said it many times, if you punch someone, outside of self defense, on a flight etc. you should get a ban across all carriers.  The punishment needs to be harsher, flying is not a right. This craziness needs to end.

IHG Rewards Extending Elite Status (Again) – OMaaT

If you have a cookie and IHG top status…you have a cookie. And that cookie definitely didn’t come from IHG status either.  Extend it till the end of time, it means nothing…

Fraudulent Chargebacks Could Be Growing Problem in Travel – Travel Pulse

Interesting tidbit from the article:

“…a chargeback reversal rate of just 10 percent could put travel merchants out of business.”

  1. The chargeback link may be right about some companies going under if they get 10% chargebacks but I think that what they meant is 10% in successful chargebacks, which is a great deal more difficult for fraudsters to achieve.

  2. I’m so old, I remember when flying was a class act. We dressed up a little. Economy class felt more like today’s domestic flight 1st class. People were on their best behavior. I realize people who say they long for the good ol days just have bad memories. But that’s certainly the case with flying.
