Fly the frustrating skies: Did your latest flight leave you convinced that air travel’s gotten worse than ever? That’s because it has, a new report says. Airlines say they’re making changes that will lead to better service, especially for their most valued customers.
That means the airlines will continue to overbook your flight and lose your bag, but they will serve wine at the correct temperature in the first-class cabin.
Pretty much the same as coach: An Alaska Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles turned back to Seattle on Monday after a trapped worker was heard inside the plane’s cargo hold.
The worker, who was not injured, got the pilot’s attention by banging on the fuselage and, presumably, hollering “Gilligaaaaaan!”
What the heck — they’re Beatles: Ringo Starr’s already in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a Beatle, and now he’s about to be inducted as an individual, on the strength of his 1970s hits such as “Back Off Boogaloo”.
At this point, the Hall might as well also induct Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe and that guy who filled in for Ringo for 10 days in 1964 when he had tonsillitis.
