Since I was so perturbed by Delta’s policy about not waiving fees this past week for New York passengers headed into Tropical Storm Hanna, I thought it would be fitting to feature a website where passengers can gripe about their experiences. Tellyouraastory.com is solely for experiences with American Airlines (AA) and you might be surprised to learn that it was created by two American Airlines pilots who are trying to make it clear that they don't think that you (the passenger) are AA's top priority.
I have to admit I’m not big on hostels but I would love to spend the night at this unique one
that opens in December. It’s a parked 747-200 jumbo jet built in 1976 that has 25
rooms,
85 beds and is parked by the entrance of Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport. Guests can choose between
three bedrooms with a shared bathroom or the luxury suite in the converted cockpit. Personally,
I would opt for the latter not only for the obvious reasons but because it has panoramic views of
the airport. Prices have yet to be set.
As my brother continues to undergo cancer treatment, we are supporting worthy cancer foundations.
This week we’re supporting New York-based Jacob's Cure (www.jacobscure.org), a non-profit foundation
dedicated to raising money to support and promote cutting-edge research to develop a cure for Canavan
Disease, a rare, fatal brain disorder in children. They partnered with Chief Executive Air (www.chiefexecair.com),
an exclusive private aviation company, and created the ‘Fly For A Cure' charity jet program whereby
clients associated with a particular cause will have a percentage of their total trip cost donated back to that non-profit organization.
