I live in the UK and have had about 3-4 flights cancelled in the last year or so out of about 30-40 flights, this isn’t lots but it’s enough to notice a trend. I do occasionally look at flightradar24 for my local airport and it’s quite common for at least 1 flight a day to be cancelled. This is just a small-medium airport with about 50 flights a…

Really Bad Jet Lag I’m coming back from a two week trip to Asia, and I’m normally somewhat of an insomniac anyway, or a light sleeper and inconsistent sleeper at best. To avoid jet lag, I tried doing the recommended things like getting a head start, sleeping and eating on the plane in a way to match the destination (got zero sleep on plane btw), but it isn’t helpi…

I pressed the button and a guy in the Philippines (I asked him where he was, the hotel was in California) came on the screen and checked me in, having me scan my id on the kiosk that spit out my r…
