Another week spent entirely on the ground…this is really something out of character. But I’ve cherished the time spent with my wife and son lately: the little one is growing up so fast.
I hope to finish up my 2013 Australia trip report in the week ahead. Here’s a hint: I had a very bad Singapore Airlines flight on the return. One of the worst flights of my life…in a way that you would never expect.
Top news over the last week included the introduction of a new lottery system for United employees that was clawed back after fierce protest. Singapore released a beautiful new ad and Lufthansa announced family accounts for its Miles & More program.
Here’s a look at the week’s top stories on the blog and as well as a digest of every article from the last seven days. Have a great week ahead.
