November 4, 2011 Daily Roundup--November 4, 2011
It looks like some of Disney’s oldest, and dearest, attractions may be put out to pasture. So much for nostalgia. (And I don’t care if the technology is old, I still love “Country Bear Jamboree.”
Advances are being made to help prevent or find lost luggage. I think I’ll stick to carry-on. As regular contributor Paula S. commented: “ I don’t know what’s worse,not knowing where your luggage is or finding out it is holidaying in a more exotic location than your destination!!”
Exactly a year to the day after suffering an engine oil fire, a Qantas Airbus 380 was forced to shut down one of its engines and make an emergency landing in Dubai. The flight had originated in Sydney, stopped in Singapore and was headed towards London. To make it interesting, English actor and writer Stephen Fry, a known tech junkie, was aboard and Tweeting as events unfolded. No one was hurt. The airline did give each passenger a written apology saying they were doing everything they could to rebook passengers on other flights but because it’s a holiday in Dubai, all nearby hotels were full. Lunch, however, was on Qantas.
JetBlue has begun to give refunds to those passengers held on the tarmac in Harford last week for over seven hours. Each passenger will also get one free rountrip ticket on JetBlue. Some are even getting two.
The parent of British Airways, which also owns Iberia, is buying BMI Airlines from Lufthansa.
