Air Canada Takes a Step Back In Time

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 

Back to the mid 1990s before airlines realized that giving free wifi in their clubs would encourage people to become members and that they’d make more money on the membership fees than on screwing people for access charges. Besides, most of us have WWAN cards now.

$9.95 for 10 minutes of access before my flight. Sorry, no. Even if the WWAN roaming is more expensive, it is a matter of principal.

My nuts are cold

Monday, April 12, 2010 

UAL Triple 7, three class plane, cross country flight (SFO-IAD): about as far as you can fly CONUS to CONUS, and I can’t get my nuts warmed?

I’d trade the puffy comforter for warm nuts any day.

The view from my hotel room balcony. Pretty sunset tonight, too bad rain is coming in: late in the season for it.
