Can someone tell me, with the new rules, what I need?  My wife and I
are traveling in April to Mexico, but both our passports expire not
long after. Hers is up in May, mine in June. But we're returning to
the states by April 11. We called Continental and they said it's not a

I haven't really followed the Jet Blue situation where the plane sat on the
tarmac for hours. Can someone give me a quick summary? Basically, I'm

Am I the only one to complain about Stansted?
Is there any other UK airport operating in such a manner in the name
of security?
Does Ryanair give a 'kick back' for every kilo overweight charged?

These code shares are getting pretty ridiculous.  I'm flying US Air,
operated by Mesa Air DBA America West Express.  Called US Air, they
couldn't tell me where I should go when I get to the airport.  Sigh.
