News and notes from around the interweb:
- The incoming CEO of South African Airways has a new plan to stablize the airlines more or less convince banks they’ll exist in the coming days, weeks, and months.
- How Malaysia Airlines Makes Those Amazing Satay Sticks
- JetBlue’s new Havana ticket offices aim to generate Cuban passengers but they have no money… A Cuban passport costs nearly half a year’s average wages for a state worker. Roundtrip plane fare runs on average more than a year’s wages. Cubans require US visas to come to the United States. This too requires fees, and an interview with the US embassy.

- Ryanair left behind some sort of star I’ve never heard of in Italy and got into a twitter spat over it
- A woman who left her bag on board a Norwegian flight that arrived in Edinburgh from Providence, Rhode Island ran back across the tarmac from the shuttle bus, around the back of the plane. She’s “escorted away from the aircraft and runs back on to the bus” where she’s confronted by a member of the airport’s ground staff who says “That was unbelievable… It is absolutely not allowed. Do you want to get killed?”
Yummm. Yummm.
She is right. I don’t want to hear anything more.
I remember when you posted reviews, trip reports, and real news for points and miles aficionados. Now it’s just blatant click bait and gossipy trash. Pick up the quality or get out of the blogging business Gary.
More like camel Towie star…but seriously you aren’t a star if you’re flying Ryanair.

Yeah welcome to Norwegian, the new transatlantic EasyJet. And good evening from Edinburgh, where I was just drinking with a Scot who is flying Norwegian to Newburgh next week. I said to him: “Do you have any idea where that airport is?!?” He replied: “Yeah, about an hour and half from New York.”
Well at least he knew that much.
SAA turnaround? Really? Think they are at par with Alitalia and won’t get any better. Their politics are the root cause of their problems and they aren’t going to get any better, certainly not in my lifetime
