Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: April 08, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onApril 8, 2018November 14, 2023 2 Comments

Buona sera from Milano. I’m in the midst of a fast-paced business trip through Italy. I’ll provide some detail on it in the days ahead…it will not be a typical trip report.

It was a fairly light week of blogging and the coming week will be no different as I continue to travel in Europe for my other company. Even so, I have some interesting stories planned.

I wish you all a pleasant evening and great week ahead. Here’s a look at the week’s top stories and a review of every post over the last seven days on Live and Let’s Fly.


TOP STORY: Stunning: Pictures from the New SWISS First Class Lounge in Zurich

Why I’m Flying Los Angeles to Rome via Munich, Zurich, AND Frankfurt

Lufthansa A380 LAX

Why fly nonstop when you can connect three times?


Perspective: Why More Dogs Die on United

Why United Airlines Kills Dogs

Is there more to the story than simply that United is sloppy in handling dogs?

    Given your expertise in points and miles, I’m surprised that you have so many clients in Italy, since European programs tend to be more parsimonious regarding award options. Is there another area that you do business in that you care to divulge?
