But it’s not what you think… maybe. “WE Party Airlines” is a dance event to be held this coming Labor Day weekend at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, August 31 in New York City.

Alec Baldwin Gets His Own American Airlines Boarding Group
This is absolutely hilarious. Ellen DeGeneres yesterday “explained” the new American Airlines boarding process in a public service announcement on her show. In addition to Alec Baldwin getting his own boarding group, it appears American is adding several new classifications. 😉 (Hat tip: AAdvantageGeek) – Follow Darren Booth on Twitter, @FrequentlyFlyin, for more airline, hotel…
‘You’re All Going to Die’ Flight Attendant TV Commercial
Here’s a television ad you likely won’t see aired in the U.S. Anti-energy drink maker Zenonade from the Czech Republic launched a new ad campaign having a little fun with the flight attendant safety demonstration.

April Fools Air New Zealand style
Leave it to the always clever folks at Air New Zealand to come up with an April Fools’ Day joke that had me pause for just a moment. It is April 1st already down there, after all, and they “introduced” new StraightUp Fares as follows: When you click on the button to book one of…

Videos: Airline Global Distribution Systems explained, with a bit of humor
Eventually I’ll get around to posting a detailed description and history of Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), but in the meantime check out these videos from Everbread. The UK-based travel technology company put these together in part to explain the method by which airline reservations have been booked since the 1950s, but also to expose the…
