Let’s put the fun back into flying.
Last week Southwest Airlines had a commercial poking fun that passenger’s bags don’t fly for free on other airlines.

Amy's family took this photo when flying from Shannon to Paris in 2008. Dorothy (Amy's mom) points out the Aer Lingus plane in the background going to the same airport and charging three times more than Ryanair.

Don't worry, no birds were hurt in this photo.
Recently a reader made a comment on an old blog asking why don’t airlines or manufactures just put screens over engines to prevent birds from flying into them. I thought this was an interesting enough question to answer in a new blog, since I have heard others [...]
Ryanair Boeing 737
On Friday I posted an email I received from Ryanair. I very much enjoyed the email and the interaction with Stephen McNamara, Head of Communications with Ryanair.
In the comments of the blog, I was asked how I replied to his email. I thought about a long reply, but settled on just thanking him [...]

Ryanair out does themselves this time!
I love Ryanair. Personally I have never flown them, but I have absolute respect for what they are able to accomplish. They provide sub-par customer service (and are almost proud of it), charge for everything, fly to smaller airports, but are one of the most popular airlines in the world. [...]
