James Lawrence raises money for Tri And Give a Dam. He does so by racing in half-Ironmans.
Recently, on a trip back from Hawaii, Delta charged him $200 to ship his (snazzy) bike, wrecked it, and won’t pay for it or even refund the $200 he paid to have it shipped. Essentially, this is the Delta-specific version of United Breaks Guitars, but it hurts just that extra little bit because Lawrence got screwed while trying to help people. continue reading...
The controversy over plus-sized travelers has been renewed since United Airlines has imposed a new policy. The airlines website states that if a passenger cannot buckle the seat belt with even with one belt extender, or if he or she can’t lower the armrests when seated, then he or she is subject to the “Passengers requiring extra space” policy. These passengers can either be moved to a seat next to an unused seat, or they can upgrade to a larger, and more expenseive, seat.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 19, 2007 — According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, more than one million pieces of luggage were lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered by U.S. airlines from May through July. They also say that June and July of 2007 ranked among the worst months for mishandled baggage in 20 years. CBS News reported that so many bags are getting separated from their owners, the airlines are running out of places to put them. One way to avoid these travel horrors is by carrying your luggage on the plane.
A major reason for all the checked luggage these days is the “one carry-on” rule. If you are traveling with a garment bag and a wheeled suitcase you must check them since you are not allowed to carry both on the plane. New luggage with a unique design aims to solve this problem. continue reading...
