    👇 Also, there's a limit to inflating/raising #airline ticket #prices without providing additional value, a foible one would wager...🤔

  2. Built this for myself, now sharing it:

    An iOS app that bridges in-flight entertainment to your Bluetooth headphones.

    No more:
    ❌ Laggy Bluetooth dongles
    ❌ Uncomfortable airline headphones
    ❌ Broken seat audio

    Just:
    ✅ Your AirPods/headphones
    ✅ A simple USB adapter

    Free on TestFlight. Includes "Seat Doctor" to fix broken IFE seats.

    Would love feedback from frequent flyers

  4. Super grateful I had this “must-work” flight before I ordered my new laptop

    When the guy in front of me slammed his seat back, catching and crushing my screen under the lip of the seat back, I remembered that this is why we do 13” laptops

  5. Really confused why there are no direct flights from Heathrow to Porto. I make this trip every couple weeks and severely dislike dealing with the hassle of Gatwick, Stansted, and Luton. The time savings for me and just generally better facilities of LHR would be worth whatever the “premium” cost would be. I’d be relatively happy with City as a second option, too, but alas…

  6. We have been loyal to flying BA & OneWorld for s long time, but since Covid-restrictions ate over flights have become so expensive, that it is no longer possible to maintain frequent flyer status.

    It is now at a point where premium economy on BA is more expensive that business on some other airlines.

    The wallet has voted!

    4. Even got upgraded occasionally, again, without FF status

    Via onemileatatime.com/news/finnai - "Finnair is going full-on ultra low cost carrier with its new seat assignment policy."

    Yep it has been frustrating this past year. Time to find another main airline to fly and establish my FF status with...

  8. "There is a growing consensus on the need for some kind of #GlobalWealthTax."

    Other possibilities include a #FrequentFlyer levy, and a carbon fee on international #shipping.

    "This inequality is true not only between developed countries and developing ones, but within each country. Failing to address these inequalities could damage public acceptance of the measures needed to tackle the climate crisis." -- Laurence Tubiana

  9. To the lines, delays and other indignities of commercial air #travel this holiday season in the U.S., add this: ever-changing frequent flyer program rules that often seem to erode their benefits.

    What gives? Blame the wonky economics of flying.

    Business professors who study loyalty programs say air travel is unusual – starting with the fact that airlines don’t earn that much money from ticket sales. And that’s why #frequentflyer programs are a bit odd, too.

  10. Wow, not only did American Airlines wipe out my miles after 2 years of not flying with them, they wiped out my entire account! Frequent flyer programs are supposed to encourage loyalty, but they often have the opposite effect for me.

  11. @jon I feel like I keep banging on on the birdsite about how UK gov should basically compulsory-purchase all of the shop units at St Pancras and pay for it with #frequentflyer taxes

  12. "You travel too much, oui?" the gate agent said as she slapped yet another sticker on my passport.

    Oui, madame. Very oui.

    So ready to be home. #travel #frequentflyer
