Here's an interesting take on the Airbus A380 superliner. So is it an oversized white elephant already or could it still be the future of longhauls?

Is everyone as horrified as I am about the Northwest pilots who overshot Minneapolis because they were on their personal laptops? Time to ban them from cockpits, I would say -- laptops, I mean.

So British Airways finally went and launched its all-business-class flights. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on how that's likely to work out for them?

LOL Did you get a load of that lobster tail they were serving? And the canapés??? In 1967, when I was five years old, my father and I flew from Havana to Madrid on Iberia, in coach class, of course, as we were leaving Cuba under, shall we say, less than happy conditions. Well, guess what they served on that flight? Lobster tail! IN COACH! Now they're charging us for WATER on some airlines. Ah, progress.
