More cancellations for me….
Well, my flight to Washington (which was zeroed out, coincidentally) was canceled, leaving me on the west coast. United “protected” me on a US Airways flight. Without inserting any jokes, let’s just say that I don’t consider being rebooked on US Airways to be much in the way of protection! I asked to be rerouted on United, and they offered me a connection through Denver tomorrow morning. Sounds good to me, as one of the flights is sold out …

This will be a first for me. Given that I live in Tampa, I’ve never actually made a connection here. It’s not like there are even any practical connections on United, given that they only fly to Washington, Chicago, and Denver from Tampa. So in a couple of weekends I have a mileage run booked out of Tampa. It’s just a quick trip...

Southwest Airlines confirmed today that it was preparing a $113.6 million bid to buy Denver-based Frontier Airlines, which is operating under bankruptcy court protection and will be sold at auction next month.

The British High Court has stopped the British Airways strike that was set to begin on Tuesday, December 22.

But the problems aren’t over for British Airways, and a new strike is quite likely in February if labor and management...

My routing was Tampa to Chicago at 6:45AM, then Chicago to San Francisco at 10AM, then San Francisco to Washington at 1PM, then Washington to Tampa at 10PM. All...
