158 LIN - American Flagship hopes, Cortina Olympics ride, Flighty Intelligence, crew cosplay, LH on-demand cleaning

Vinod's Olympics adventure: Flagship lounge, Flagship upgrade, Flagship Wifi (err), Flagship chicken, Flagship plane (well…), all the hopes and expectations of American Airlines Flagship were placed into that trip. And that Black Card! That vintage boarding pass!

Does the British Airways return compete with that? Yes (that shortbread biscuit does a lot of heavy lifting).

Milan finally gets the airport it deserves, with a tasteful redesign.

Flighty introduces Airport Intelligence (Paul had to bight his tongue for so long on that one). Get that on the biggest TV you can buy.

Dallas DFW, where you can cosplay as crew and confuse everyone (what's a jump seat?).

And yes, we are entering the era of "Bring Your Jet Fuel".

Plus many questions, such as:
How do you expect to be recognize for your loyalty?
Do you leave your stuff unattended in the lounge?
Where do you put your trash when aboard?
Would you like to get cleaning on demand in an aircraft? (Lufthansa does, but not in the way you might expect).
