"...and she dances on the sand."

After drunk-dialing our ex-girlfriend for over a month, she's finally decided to take us back. That's right...UA will start non-stop service from Dulles to Rio in October. It's a hard habit to break, wait, that's Chicago not Duran, Duran...anyway, it's seasonal service. So it's only a matter of time before we start ignoring her again and playing poker with our college buddies. We'll also be adding a new non-stop from LAX to Hong Kong, in case Chris Tucker needs to fly over and fight some crime.

How will your time fly? New AA Biz seat.

Yes, yes, yes...this is supposed to be a United blog, but it's also pertinent to know what our chief rival is up to. As many who might be reading this know, most of the major US carriers, United included, are updating their premium cabins. Take a look at what AA has to offer and when UA is ready to announce more news, you'll have something to compare us to. But like the Wizard of Oz might say, "Pay no attention to the International airlines." The US carriers are playing catch up. I included the photo to the right because at first glance it looks like they're showing a laptop circa 1994...but in fact, it's their new entertainment unit. Take the tour at howwillyourtimefly.com. The Flash is snazzy, but the "Play" section about the seat is really lame. Should I sit in a "theatre" to watch a movie, at a "concert" to listen to music, or on the "toilet" to read the paper. Ok, so that last one isn't in the tour, but that would be news...an airline updating the WC.
