- What’s going on in the New York JFK Terminal 8 showers?? At the American Airlines-British Airways Soho lounge:
At Soho the lady working there on 2 occasions has “encouraged” us to go in together…and I’m late 50s not a young buck. She has told us on more than one occasion that we wouldn’t believe the things she’s seen/heard. And she smiled when she said it.
- Government technology is the best Amtrak’s mobile app now supports seat assignments “when purchasing tickets for Acela trains, as well as for business class on the Northeast Regional, Palmetto, Vermonter, and Carolinian.” The 2025 revolution is here, people!
Other features include updates on train status and schedule changes that display with reservations for trips within 24 hours; a station-to-station train tracker (also available at Amtrak.com), the ability to modify part of a trip through the app, and a “my trips” tab that will automatically show trips if there is a reservation that day.
Amtrak Tech - Usually passengers only take packaged food from airport lounges At Cathay Pacific’s ‘The Bridge’ lounge in Hong kong, “a woman accompanied by her child attempted to pack cooked food into her own containers to take onto the flight. When staff intervened to explain that removing food from the lounge was prohibited, the woman reportedly became argumentative, causing a scene in front of her child.”
