As predicted, Eos Airlines has filed for bankruptcy and is ceasing all flights after today. It’s a sad day because Eos was one of my favorite airlines. Here’s the link to my Story and Video from my trip to London a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, Eos won’t be the only airline ceasing operations this year and possibly even this week. With such high jet fuel prices, they just can’t compete.
Location: Planet Earth, (okay, it's really L.A., but I'm never home)
I used to be afraid to fly (long story). Moved to California from Connecticut at 21-- that's when I conquered my fear. In college I started dating a bona fide princess from Hong Kong. She was accustomed to flying Biz Class. I had ONLY flown coach -- and I had never been overseas. When she invited me home, I couldn't let the opportunity slip by. I (okay, my dad) bought the seat next to her from a consolidator. I picked the right time to have my first out-of-coach experience. WOW! What a difference-- A nice phat seat, some hot towels, a little sorbet to clean the palate, non-stop food, beverages and movies. When I returned to the U.S. I felt like a new man. I started working as a college recruiter. While traveling my 26-state territory on a tight budget, I learned traveling in style on a budget was possible. I started a weekly newsletter and JohnnyJet.com to share my tips. Three months later USAToday made JohnnyJet.com website of the week and now it's my full time job.
