    Absolutely huge news for people who have anxiety about losing their luggage. Not only is Apple integrating "Find My" with airlines directly, but the baggage-tracing system used by over 500 (!) airlines will start using this tech, too. AirTags are a must-have.

    You will never see the 25-year-old consultants flying 2x per week in the Delta Sky Club anymore. RIP.

    Not quite sure how I managed to have a 5 course dinner AND breakfast on a short 7 hour redeye flight but it happened. My first @emirates flight (and in first!) was a massive success and well worth the 85,000 points.

    Credit card companies overcorrected, trying to capture travelers & in the process making lounges too accessible. Now, we're going to begin to revert back to a world where lounges are more exclusive & people buy memberships instead of signing up for cards. It's all a cycle.

    I’m landing at LAX in broad daylight and not a single person in business class has their window open. Like none of you are curious what the world looks like outside?

    Always astounds me how Asian airlines, especially Japanese ones, can board a huge wide-body plane in 20 minutes or less. Next stop: Tokyo

    Someone needs to do a full investigative story on how Delta single handedly cornered the gay male travel market
