Hurry Before Jan 11: Get Free Hilton Diamond Status in Less than 3 Minutes

Here’s how I got Hilton Diamond Status through March 2017 in less than 3 minutes with little effort:

Hilton, Hyatt, and other hotel chains have been on a status-match spree lately. Hyatt was all over Twitter offering to status match other top tier elites to Hyatt Diamond, and now Hilton has a similar offer. This is presumably in the wake of the announcement that Starwood is being sold to Marriott. The diehard Starwood elite members quickly took to social media to voice their discontent with being folded into Marriott, and this discontentment has given the competition a chance to capitalize and offer status matches in the hopes of converting other programs’ most [...]

Airbus A380: Current Routes and Operators

The Airbus A380 is a behemoth, more like a flying ship than an airplane. Here’s a graphic comparing the A380’s size to that of the Boeing 787:

Unlike the Boeing 747, Airbus’ A380 upper deck covers the entire span of the plane’s body and thus gives it significantly more room–exactly 40% more square-footage than the B747, to be exact. This extra space allows the monstrous plane to hold up to  525 people in a typical three-class configuration or up to 853 people in an all-economy class configuration.

Yes, that’s right, Sir Branson owns Necker Island, a 74-acre private island in the British Virgin Islands.

Just Richard being Richard + short shorts

I first learned about this a few years ago while watching MTV Cribs, which came on right after Pimp My Ride, also known as how I spent my weekday [...]

A Piano Bar…on an Airplane?!!

So I came across an article the other day that had some cool retro airplane cabins and spotted this photo:

For those (like me) that needed to do a double take:  yes, that is a piano installed on a Boeing 747! Sometime around 1972, American Airlines introduced their new “LuxuryLiner” fleet; here’s a commercial hitting the highlights:

Here’s a shot of the entire lounge:
