It has been a scorcher in Los Angeles this week, but I’m hunkering down at home before an extended trip to Germany next month.
In the news this week: tipping comes to Uber, Qatar’s unexpected acquisition of American Airlines common stock, and the announcement of a big FTU event in Chicago.
Coming up on the blog, a new report from my trip to Norway last summer. It will include SAS flight reviews and a look at Longyearbyen, one of the coolest (literally and figuratively) places in the world.
Here’s a look at the past week’s top stories. Have a restful evening and week ahead!

On my mind: traveling to Syria and North Korea. Would that be a huge mistake?
