Best of the Blogs



This has been a busy week for travel. A lot of good stuff worth reading online too!

First of all, the good news on the business end of travel. Lufthansa, just bought 19% of JetBlue this week. No immediate changes on either side as a result of this transaction, but I think it really only means good things for both airlines in the future - and possibly the nudge United needs to more aggressively pursue a buyer. The Cranky Flier is all over this and has some interesting analysis as well.

Then there's the bad news.
Windjammer Barefoot Cruises? Apparently no longer sailing, but still taking your money. Cruisemates

More bad news.
MaxJet? Days might be very numbered. Upgrade: Travel Better

Oh yeah, and if you didn't know? Bus rides in the US? Still no fun. Lane Winfield shares his sad story of being held hostage by an angry driver.

Finally, the New York Times lets a lot of people complain about flying.

The week in review. A little good news, a little bad news. A lot of whining.
