Good morning It has been an interesting week, with a major development in terms of the future of the A380, but not the development generally anticipated last week. I’ve been quietly busy this week, and …
By all accounts, the A380 is a lovely plane to fly in. It is quiet, comfortable, spacious, and flies smoothly. With three jetways, boarding and deplaning is reasonably quick and efficient, and most airlines operating …
These days, Toyota is the best known auto maker promoting fuel cell vehicles. Yes, they are a very sensible and very successful company. But even the most successful companies in the world are not always …
Good morning Another airline retires its 747s, with United’s last 747 repeating and recreating the ambience of the flight of their first 747, to Honolulu, earlier this week. While it is easy to understand how …
In the good old days, no-one needed to take their own travel blankets with them. The airlines provided plenty of free ones – indeed, if one wasn’t enough, you could usually get a second one, …

Usually weekly, since 2001, we publish a roundup of travel and travel related technology developments, and often a feature article too.
You’ll stay up to date with the latest and greatest (and cautioned about the worst) developments. You’ll get information to help you choose and become a better informed traveler and consumer, how to best use new technologies, and at times, will learn of things that might entertain, amuse, annoy or even outrage you.
We’re very politically incorrect and love to point out the unrebutted hypocrisies and unfairnesses out there.
This is all entirely free (but you’re welcome to voluntarily contribute!), and should you wish to, easy to cancel.
We’re not about to spam you any which way and as you can see, we don’t ask for any information except your email address and how often you want to receive our newsletters.
Thanks for choosing to receive our newsletters. We hope you’ll enjoy them and become a long-term reader, and maybe on occasion, add comments and thoughts of your own to the newsletters and articles we publish.
We’ll send you a confirmation email some time in the next few days to confirm your email address, and when you reply to that, you’ll then be on the list.
All the very best for now, and welcome to the growing “Travel Insider family”.
David.
