If you have a pet and travel you know it can be tough. Sure a cat you can leave some extra food and water and they can manage for a few days, but if you have another pet or are going to be gone for a long time, you either need to sucker a friend/family member to watch them or board them. Dallas Forth Worth (DFW) Airport is looking to create a pet resort where pets can stay, be groomed, and swim around in a pool. There is talk of even having webcams so you can check on your fluffy loved one from online.
I think anything to make traveling a little easier is always a welcomed edition!
I am kind of getting tired of all the extra fees making the news now-a-days. But this fee, I wouldn’t mind paying (I am guess it won’t be free). Quite a few airlines in the next year are going to be offering passengers different levels of internet access. I know I would love to have the ability to surf the web and kill a few hours while flying. Below is a list taken right from the Washington Post of what airlines are planning to do:
Delta: Plans Internet service on its entire fleet of 330 domestic aircraft by summer 2009, starting with 75 by the end of the year.
Northwest: Delta, which is buying Northwest, said it will equip Northwest planes with Internet service after the merger is approved.
American: Placing 15 jets in a three- to-six-month Internet service trial program. No launch date yet, but “dress rehearsals” were conducted on two flights in June.
JetBlue: Offered WiFi on one A320 in December. It allows e-mail, messaging and shopping on Amazon.com, but not Web surfing.
Southwest and Alaska Airlines: Testing a system that relies on satellites rather than cellphone towers. No date given for start of service.
Virgin America: The airline expects to begin testing Aircell Internet service in the fall and roll it out on its entire fleet by end of the first quarter, 2009.
Continental: Announced in January that it planned to offer onboard WiFi access using a satellite-based service starting in 2009, but the airline says it is still testing, which could push back the start date.
This amazing plane, which will be handling the JFK to Dubai route, is wonderfully fitted. It has two showers (yes showers, although you get a max of five minutes to wash), two lounges, and 14 first-class suites.
How much would a ticket to have access to one of these showers cost? Only about $18,000.00. But at least it is included in the price and not an add-on fee!

Story talking about what other airlines plan to do with their A380’s
Yesterday American Airlines flight 31 to Honolulu had to make an emergency landing at LAX after smoke was detected in the cabin.
Everyone was able to get out of the Boeing 757 safely, although six passengers had to be checked out for minor injuries.
Fire crews were preparing for the arrival of the Emirates A380 (which was arriving at LAX to promote the new route from JFK to Dubain), but the water show was scrapped and the A380 was delayed for 45 minutes due to the emergency.
Airlines are reporting millions of dollars in new revenue with the charges for checked baggage, but how long can this last? Will there be a backlash from consumers? I am thinking so.
Southwest and Delta still hold true that they will not charge for bags. Southwest has even started advertising with slogans, “Fees Don’t Fly With Us” and “Bags Fly Free.”
