Review: Aer Lingus Lounge – New York City – JFK
The Aer Lingus Lounge at JFK Airport offers a clean, spacious environment with ample amenities, including drinks, newspapers, and reliable wifi. However, the food options fall short of expectations, with limited and unappetizing choices that detract from the overall experience.

AA schedule changes again – and my 1 minute problem
The best laid plans can blow up when an airline makes even a modest schedule change. A trip in August (which I have had booked since November) imploded when a one minute shortfall in connecting times caused AA to drop the rest of my flights.

The weirdness of travel…or specifically other passengers!
Sometimes passengers surprise you. It’s just this trip that they did this in a bad way.

It’s the incredible weirdness of travel, at least that is what I am telling myself.

I’m flying in 24 hours….and the plane is delayed already
The BA1/2/3/4 service from London City to JFK has had some bad reliability problems recently and yesterday suffered from double cancellations when London City developed a crack. Back on time today, somehow the delays have rolled right past today and on to tomorrow. Of course I am on the flight that already is two hours late. The word from BA? Silence.
