Read about four new types of traveller – the scatterbrain, the single with no kids, the luggage space hoarder and the Hypochondriac. But have I missed any? Is 11 the right number?

It had been a good travel day until we were bussed to the plan on hottest day of the year, took a thirty minute delay and were then told that there was no food. Another day on British Airways it seems.

A state of emergency was called on Kuwait Airlines overnight flight from JFK. Turning around over Europe it landed at Heathrow, although there were plenty of closer diversion airports. Why the plane didn’t go to Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels or Frankfurt is unknown.
Heathrow’s Terminal 1 closes for business next week and BA is moving its few remaining flights to other terminals on the 30th June. In October, several long haul destinations switch from T5 to T3. Yours?

What an airline does when it has a problem is an indication of its values. A disruptive passenger landed 270 passengers in Belfast, and then United leaves them on the floor of the airport overnight. Second week running I am glad I stopped flying them.
In a week when United gave up on JFK – who can remember when they used to fly to London three times a day? – I have a short review of AA’s offering on a recent LAX to JFK flight.
What would an airline safety announcement sound like if the airlines told us the truth? The Economist thinks it knows.
In recent years I’ve been very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to the Maldives and the Seychelles. But while the Maldives and Seychelles provide ultra-exclusive island getaways, they also have the price tag to match, and are a 24+ hour journey each way from the USA. As beautiful and amazing as those destinations were, as I reflect on those trips, what I really walk away with is a renewed appreciation for just how lucky I am to have Hawaii in my backyard. From the West Coast it’s less than a 5 hour direct flight to the Hawaiian islands, and they are chock full of mainstream chain hotels to use points at. Also, since you’re still in the USA, it’s easy to drive around and there’s worrying about cell phone service.
