By Summer Hull on Oct 07, 2018 08:00 am

There was indeed “gold in them hills,” though interestingly enough, never actually the mineral for which the town was named. These days, however, Telluride isn’t known for mining as much as it is for art, film, skiing, ...

Amex Widens Refer-A-Friend Program to Products Outside Your Card Family

By Brendan Dorsey on Oct 06, 2018 05:30 pm
Last month, American Express made an exciting update to its refer-a-friend program. The bank started allowing cardmembers to refer friends and family to not just the product the cardholder has, but also to cards in the same card family.

How to Tell If You’re Going to Be Stuck on a Cramped AA Boeing 737

By JT Genter on Oct 06, 2018 05:00 pm
American Airlines is full-swing into “Project Oasis” — the airline’s program to “harmonize” its Boeing 737 fleet. That sounds innocuous until you realize that this means adding 12 more economy seats, removing in-flight entertainment screens, swapping in tiny bathrooms, installing slimline seats and reducing pitch by 1-3 inches throughout the plane. There are some notable ...

This Airline Considers Wearing Shorts ‘Offensive’

By JT Genter on Oct 06, 2018 03:30 pm
Different cultures have different expectations of what is and isn’t culturally appropriate — whether it’s what hand signals are offensive, which hand you use to pay or what clothes you’re expected to wear. When flying, we’ve heard of dress codes for non-revenue passengers (remember LeggingGate?) but dress codes for passengers seem like a thing of the distant ...
