It’s been a wild week for us, that’s for sure. From settling the debate on airplane etiquette to sleeping on Dolly Parton’s tour bus, we have lots of stories we should catch you up on. Let’s take a spin through the news.
Airplane etiquette, settled? We surveyed more than 2,500 Americans about reclining, armrests, seat swapping and more — and some of the answers might surprise frequent flyers.
United unveiled its biggest international route expansion ever, including 10 new destinations — from Mediterranean hot spots to places no U.S. airline currently flies nonstop.
We also got a sneak peek inside United’s new single-aisle jet, which even has a snack bar.
Meanwhile, American Airlines is adding 3 new European destinations — and its new Airbus A321XLR plays a starring role.
Speaking of American, its popular premium credit card just had a refresh, bringing new credits, elite status perks and a higher annual fee. Here are 6 things cardholders should do now.
What’s it like to sleep in Dolly Parton’s bed? TPG’s Tanner Saunders spent two nights inside the late country legend’s former tour bus — now an ultra-exclusive $10,000 hotel experience.
This highly anticipated new Park Hyatt in Mexico is now accepting reservations. Take all my points, please!
Finally, we raced from JFK airport to the Empire State Building by train, Uber and helicopter to find out which option actually gets you there fastest — and the runner-up might be the bigger surprise.
