Back in October of 2009 I wrote up an iPhone that was great for airplane geeks, little kids, every day travelers and anyone who glances out the window standing in the airport here : iPhone App Of The Week : Aeroguidelite While Aeroguidelite has been a fantastic app, it was removed from the iTunes store…
This week’s reader mail comes from Annette up in Canada. Annette asks “What’s the difference between a code share and interline agreement between airlines?” Annette, in fact, a code-share and an interline agreement are quite different. I can go into depth, but that really doesn’t help travelers all that much … so I’ll stick with…
(This is the second review I referenced in this post : British Airways’ New First Class … a whole new experience) If you’ve ever read Flying With Fish for any length of time you’ll know I’m not a hotel guy. I sleep on planes, random benches, in airports, or just don’t sleep at all. Last…

This week’s reader mail is a surprisingly challenging question … and one I am happy to try and answer. Bill asks “Why do you like airports so much? They are noisy and frantic buildings people are usually trying to leave as quick as they can.” Bill … why do I like airports? Well lets change…
Since the time the Apple iPad was announced there has been speculation regarding its adaptation into an in-flight entertainment (IFE) device. Now, having used the iPad, including as an in-flight entertainment device on multiple flights, over the past two weeks and a half weeks, an announcement by BlueBox Avionics that they will be launching an…
Hypersonic flight seems almost like science fiction and its development and introduction into commercial flight seems as if it could be in the far distant future … but it may be attainable sooner than most might imagine following the successful first test flight of the Boeing X-51 WaveRider reaching Mach 6 this past Wednesday.
