Daily Roundup--November 10, 2011

Airbus stops production on the A340. It just couldn’t compete with the Boeing 777.

Royal Caribbean is lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 on some of its international routes.

If you were one of the 10 million people who traveled outside the U.S. from 1996 to 2006, you may soon be getting a check.  As part of a lawsuit settlement for not properly disclosing fees, major credit card companies and banks agreed to certain payouts. How much? Most people will get $18. More if you can prove you spent a lot.

Our friend Kevin at Practical Hacks reports on a recent trip that TSA didn’t cut off his TSA approved lock, they cut the actual zipper pulls. If I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t believe it.

France is ready to take back the title as the world’s largest wine producer from Italy. I think I’ll go open a bottle to celebrate.

Gee, thanks Royal Caribbean. That's all we need on our next cruise---a bunch of drunken teenagers running around the ship. :-(
