Welcome to the first installment of the Mile High Dining Club where I'll be exploring and reviewing all things delicious (and perhaps not so) in the air, on the tracks, and on the ground.

When I was invited out to visit V Australia's 777 on it's maiden voyage from Seattle - Los Angeles - Sydney earlier this year, poor Amanda Bolger from public relations had no idea what she was signing up for. Sitting in the cockpit with Ken Pascoe, the pater familias of VA ...Continental #1 in Fortune mag

In my mind, there is nothing worse than flying. I think it's a waste of time (I've probably wasted, cumulatively, half a year of my life in the air). Ever since I had to take off my shoes and undo my belt, I've hated checking through security. And there's something really ...Another hilarious airline complaint letter. This time it's the food
Back in June 2007, Justin wrote a post about a hand-written complaint letter to Continental Airlines. The letter included illustrations that were as hilarious as the text. There is a new airline complaint letter that is being touted as the funniest ever. This time the ...Vote for (or against) the airline of your choice in the Freddie awards

I feel small in these seats, a feeling that I am unaccustomed to when flying overseas. Christopher stops by to see if I'm okay because I'm shifting around awkwardly. I send him off with a cheerful wave and adjust my duvet for the tenth time. How did I get here? Open Skies is ...
