Implications of Last Night’s British Airways Breaking News
For those of you who might have been asleep last night on the east coast or out partying on your Friday night, we broke the news here on BoardingArea that British Airways had increased the discount on their flights via the AARP portal. You can link back to that post here for more information. I always try and requalify as an Alaska Airlines MVP Gold 75k and American Airlines Platinum member whenever possible, and having...
BREAKING NEWS: Increased AARP discount on British

Insane 787 Acrobatics
We all know how awesome the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is. But did you know it could do these crazy tricks? In a video released by Boeing on their social media accounts we can see what their pilots are practicing for the 2016 Farnborough Airshow. Some of the moves, in particular the touch and go are apparently not allowed on the show anymore, as it was banned by British aviation authority. So this video is our only opportunity to see them:...
Route 66 goes Green
Since its creation in 1926, this popular route has definitely seen better days, but after 90 years it will see some great improvements courtesy of Science and Technology. Route 66 is one of the earliest official federal highways, and although it cannot be driven uninterrupted from end to end (Chicago to Los Angeles) it is about to go down in history as the first highway to go green. And we don’t mean the color, that would...
Why we love the Middle East Big 3
There are a lot of things I love about being in America. Clipping coupons, free refills, credit card points and miles. Notably removed from the list, however, is flying internationally on domestic airlines. They pale in comparison to foreign carriers, and especially to the Big Three airlines from the Middle East: Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar. For months now, there has been a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle war going on between...

Initial thoughts on Brexit
As news come in about the outcome of the Brexit referendum in the UK, it is time for us to take a step back and think about the implications this bring about to us travelers. Currency As it’s already become evident, the British Pound is falling like a rock. As of time of posting, it’s fallen over 12% against the US dollar. It is worth noting that this drop is on track to be the worst in history for the British Pound since...
Una bofetada a pasajeros con demora
En el último, y probablemente uno de los más bizarros episodios de ‘¿Y ahora por qué está Aerolíneas Argentinas en las noticias?’, llegan reportes de que al menos 3 vuelos fueron cancelados y otros 10 se vieron retrasados, aunque los periódicos locales ya reportan que las operaciones están retornando a la normalidad. ¿Cuál fue la razón? Un pasajero que estaba llegando tarde a su vuelo intento hacer su check-in, ayer a las 6:18am en su...
