Gadling's favorite airlines for 2011

Gadling's favorite airlines for 2011 Dec 9th, 2010 at 10:00AM: Even with airlines falling over themselves in an effort to generate profits out of new fees and charges, flying retains some glamour and excitement. No? Not working for you? Well there are mileage programs to exploit and perks to chase. And even in the direst landscape for customers, there are always new routes to sample, smiling flight attendants to befriend, and reliable pilots to thank for ...

The most over-the-top first class cabins

The most over-the-top first class cabins Dec 23rd, 2009 at 11:30AM: While most coach flyers would kill for a little extra leg room and a free bag of peanuts, first class passengers are often living the good life with free-flowing drinks and fully-reclining seats. But there are some first class cabins that go beyond simply luxury and begin to cross into the land of excess. For example, according to a post on Divine Caroline, Singapore Airlines offers its first ...

JetAirways is FINE

JetAirways is FINE Jul 22nd, 2009 at 1:30PM: In an airlines story faux pas, in a post this past Sunday, I inadvertently switched airlines putting Jet Airways as stopping service instead of JetAmerica. Rats! Then Zachary, a faithful Gadling reader, after dragging himself up from the floor after his heart attack from wondering if his trip to Barcelona is not happening after all, had enough energy left to pop me a comment telling me of my GRAVE ...

JetAmerica goes bust

JetAmerica goes bust Jul 18th, 2009 at 11:30AM: That was quick. In less than two months after opening shop for business, Jet Airways JetAmerica has decided it can't take people from Toledo to points beyond after all. The end of May the airlines had started selling tickets to places like Melbourne, Florida, Lansing, Michigan and South Bend, Indiana with plans to expand to Newark, New Jersey and more. The airlines was to start flying this ...

Airline passenger swears, throws water, makes threats and hits an elderly man with a fork

Airline passenger swears, throws water, makes threats and hits an elderly man with a fork Jan 31st, 2009 at 5:30PM: In a truth is stranger than fiction tale, picture this: You're sitting minding your own business on a Jet Airways flight from London to Mumbai, India. The engines are humming. Perhaps, the "fasten your seat belt" light has gone off. Luggage is stored and you're settled in. All seems normal. But WAIT! The young guy in his mid-twenties who is sitting near you starts verbally abusing you and anyone ...

Why It's a Good Time to Fly to Asia

Why It's a Good Time to Fly to Asia Oct 14th, 2008 at 3:00PM: With the present conditions offering little reason for airline execs to break out the expensive cognac to toast to their success, some airlines (at least those who aren't fearing for their lives) are looking to the future. The likes of Cathay Pacific and Finnair are developing routes to Asia that they hope will become lucrative once the world economy starts playing nice. These airlines are ...

Indian Airline Billboard Wars Continue... Maybe.

Indian Airline Billboard Wars Continue... Maybe. Jul 1st, 2007 at 5:36PM: Remember when I posted about the billboard wars between Indian airlines Kingfisher and Jet Airways? Jet Airways had erected a billboard saying "We've changed" and Kingfisher responded with a billboard of their own directly above the Jet Airways message saying "We made you change." The story isn't over -- a third Indian airlines, GoAir, responded to both of them with a third billboard saying, ...

Kingfisher to Jet Airways: We Changed You!!

Kingfisher to Jet Airways:  We Changed You!! Jun 18th, 2007 at 1:00PM: This is cool. Kingfisher, a lovely Indian beer and airline, took note of a competing airline's billboard and responded to it with their own. "We've changed," the Jet Airways billboard says. Kingfisher responds with a billboard of their own reading, "We made them change!!" And a guy in a green shirt on another billboard looks away as if nothing happened. [via] ...

Jet Airways Offers (Relatively) Cheap Luxury Cabin

Jet Airways Offers (Relatively) Cheap Luxury Cabin Apr 27th, 2007 at 8:30AM: India-based airline Jet Airways has introduced a 26-square-foot cabin on its London to Mumbai flight which costs £1200 less than a first-class British Airways ticket. So let's see: £5000+ for first-class, or £4000 for my own private cabin? That's an easy one. As you can see from the photo above, the dual-seat configuration folds down to make a bed, and the 23" flat TV screen ...
