Check out this rather hilarious and cruel airport prank by skin care provider Nivea. I don’t think I would have reacted quite as calmly as many of those pranked. (Hat tip: Tnooz)

Video: United Airlines DC-10-30 Landing at LAX… Barely
Frequent Traveler University was fantastic, but I caught a horrible cold and my post-writing juices have stalled. So… while I wallow in my own pity and recover, check out this floater of a DC-10 landing at LAX. I’ve never seen an aircraft touch down that far along runway 25L. P.S. I’ll reply to the many…
United Airlines’ ‘Geeks United’ Video Montage During the Star MegaDO
Remember the “Geeks United” contest where United gave away a seat on the Star Alliance MegaDO last month? You had to submit a 30-second video showing just how geeky you are about United and their fleet. I sent in an entry in hopes of winning, thinking I had a fighting chance. Well… I didn’t win,…

United Airlines Boeing 787 Inaugural Takeoff Video
I had a fantastic day of flying yesterday on United’s inaugural flight(s) of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I flew on the first three revenue flights from Houston to Chicago, Chicago back to Houston and from Houston to Los Angeles. Phew. I’m exhausted (but in a good #avgeek way). A full trip report will be coming…
Video: Conceptual Tour Inside Aeroflot’s Boeing 777-300 Aircraft
Aeroflot Russian Airlines recently released a video showing the planned configuration of their Boeing 777-300s. From what I could find online, it appears their first four will be delivered next year. Wikipedia reports Aeroflot ordered a total of 16. President Class (business class) looks comfy in a 2-2-2 configuration. The seats are ever so slightly…

My initial reaction to the design is “ehh… I don’t think so… too confining.” I’m not so certain I’d like to sit in a pod on a long-haul international flight. Using a projector for in-flight entertainment is a giant step backwards in my opinion. And how many people would…
