Eat better onboard Virigin America Airlines

Tired of bad food on board airlines? Well if you're going to pay for it, it mine as well be good right?

Although not yet having trying it Virgin America sounds like they have some tasty options on board their flights. Try anything from Pringles, M&M's, chocolate chip cookies to Chicken Cobb Wrap and Vegetarian Greek Salad. They even offer Honey Nut Cheerios with mixed berries for breakfast. In the afternoon try a duo tea sandwich, or hummus with veggies and pita!

Their drink options are also far superior! Virgin America has shaken Margaritas, Cosmos, and Mojitos!

Oh yeah, and my favorite part is that you can order the food right from you seat on your screen with a touch of a button, and then swipe your credit card...it doesn't get any easier or convenient than that!

Virgin America Deploys a Social Media dedicated site

Virgin America has launched a page dedicated to social media.

The site consolidates all of their social media outreach via Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. In addition the site hosts and encourages people to send in their "Virgin America Story" about customers flying experience.

Very nicely designed site.

Hotel in Hong Kong - Hotel LKF

I recently traveled to Hong Kong, which was a new city for me to visit. When you aren't familiar with a new city, it can sometimes be a tossup what hotel to stay at. Luckily we got a great recommendation to stay at Hotel LKF!

This is right in the middle of things, and I would highly recommend anybody looking for a hotel in the heart of Hong Kong to stay here. If you are familiar with W Hotels, it is very much along the same lines. The rooms are very modern, and spacious.

One of my favorite parts about the hotel room was how they have lighting controls for the whole room next to the bed! Other nice features in the room was the surround sound (even in the bathroom), auxiliary plugin for my iPod, and the DVD player.





Wi-Fi Onboard Airplanes!

Gogo is a service that enables Wi-Fi onboard a small select American Airlines domestic flights.

In 2009 the service will be available onboard Air Canada, Delta Air Lines and Virgin America! This will be a game changer for airlines, especially with business travelers.
