American Airlines is trying to make sure everyone boards when they’re supposed to
“We are in the early phase of testing new technology used during the boarding process.

Turning a Hyatt Disappointment into Travel Compensation Success
The booking was for my impending July 2023 trip to Japan. The only problem is: As of the writing of this article, there is no longer such a thing as the Hyatt Regency Osaka.

NYC pizzeria named the very best in the world
Once again, for the second time, Una Pizza Napoletana, the Lower East Side spot by Anthony Mangieri, was crowned the best pizzeria in the world by 50 Top Pizza, an online guide that focuses on the top pizza parlors across the world and releases an annual ranking annually. The destination at 175 Orchard Street first earned the title in 2022, when it actually shared it with I Masanielli from Caserta, Italy. The next year, in 2023, the parlor landed in the number two spots—but it has found its way back up again in 2024.
