Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: March 18, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onMarch 19, 2018November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

A trip is on the horizon…I’m anticipating a trip to Europe coming up, perhaps as early tomorrow. But for now, another week in LA. I didn’t even spend this many consecutive days on the ground when my son was born!

United was in the headlines again this week…after a dog died onboard a flight from Houston to New York. Another round of bad press for the Friendly Skies. Hyatt is also testing out cuts at Hyatt Place properties and a helicopter crash hit close to home.

Here’s a review of the week’s top stories and a link to every story from the last week on Live and Let’s Fly.
