Continental Airlines Lie Flat Seats
Fans of Continental Airlines, get ready to celebrate. The airline has announced details of a spanking new 180 degree lie-flat seat for you high rollers in the Business First cabin riding in the airline’s Boeing 757, 777 and 787 birds. I’m not sure why they’re skipping the 767 planes. Unfortunately, it will take a minute for the new seats to be configured and installed. You can look for the new lie-flat seats on Continental’s 777 aircraft, which are generally used to cross an ocean to a big city, in the fall of 2009. The 757’s …

Flight Safety Video Parody
I LOVE this parody of a flight safety video from YouTube. I know I’ve said time and time again that the airlines are only doing what they have to do to stay in business with respect to adding fees for everything from checking bags to fuel surcharges (which is really what the checked bag fee is anyway), but it’s still worth a chuckle.
After watching this video, you’ll be waiting to be charged a toll for walking through the jet way and expect to find coin operated toilets on the …

$800 Bribe for Bumped Airline Passengers
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who love to be bumped off a flight and people who loathe it. As many times as I’ve seen lucky passengers win the $400 to take the next flight, I’ve never personally had the opportunity. The one time I could have, and should have in retrospect, taking the bumped flight earnings would have meant missing my 10 year high school reunion. Oh, to have that $400 in my pocket and those 6 hours back….
Those of you who are happy …
