Last week we told you about the slurry of airlines using this year to refresh their aircraft cabins and service. Not a few days later, American Airlines dropped some major news as well, and they supplemented it with Instagram shots of the goods.

AA will take delivery of their first Boeing 777-300ER late this year and, from photos posted on Instagram last week, the big birds will look pretty flash on the inside. Since the airline is the first US carrier to take delivery of the shiny, new aircraft type, the introduction will surely be huge. ]]> jetflyboy 2012-01-30T08:45:01-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/11/22/131311/49

Often the news stories about Google Maps Street View—the Mountain View technology that allows you to virtually walk up and down roads, alleyways, and even zoos—have controversial political upshots. There are perennial privacy issues, including ones that have brought Google into conflicts with European governments. In an age of terrorism there are also genuine security risks, and it took until this week for Israel to greenlight Street View despite the Israelis' numerous safety concerns (although we did kind of tell you they'd end up deciding that way). In any case, mapping the world has turned out to be a more problematic goal than Google might have imagined.

The newest Street View project shouldn't turn out that way. Instead, Google seems to have found a project that just about anyone can get behind.]]> Omri 2011-08-23T12:55:33-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/8/4/71748/88233

It’s been some time since we heard about TAM Airlines and their new in-flight technology, but now is a perfect moment to revisit the topic as they’re beginning to expand their travel tech.

While in-flight WiFi is available on certain short-haul trips, the big news is that TAM is now bringing the magic of in-flight accessibility to some of their long-haul flights as well. They’ll be using OnAir to provide all the behind-the-scenes magic, as they start to equip their Boeing 777s along with Airbus A330s and A350s. In total there should be roughly 80 jets when the mechanics, electricians, and engineers finally hang up their wrenches and wire cutters. ]]> kjb 2011-08-04T08:43:13-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/4/7/12646/83640

Last week James Cameron, Bill Clinton, and Arnold Schwarzenegger came together for the Second Annual International Forum on Sustainability in Manaus, Brazil. During the event, Cameron told reporters that he wants to bring the cast of his Avatar sequels to Brazil's Amazon Rainforest so they can be inspired by the location and its indigenous tribes.]]> cmb 2011-04-07T15:58:28-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/2/28/123147/003

This week's episode of An Idiot Abroad landed Karl Pilkington in Rio during Carnival to take in the wonder that is Christ The Redeemer, as well as a bit of the local culture.

Compared to previous episodes, Brazil was predictable, and stereotypical. Instead of stepping off the beaten path, Karl got waxed and shopped for a Speedo before being forced to spend time at gay and nude beaches. No surprises there. ]]> cmb 2011-02-28T14:01:33-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/11/12/125254/89

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson didn't let a little thing like a hostage situation keep them from filming in Brazil. After hostages were taken at the Intercontinental Rio de Janeiro back in August, there was some speculation that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn's pivotal honeymoon scenes would be shot somewhere else.

Despite the controversy, the producers of Breaking Dawn decided to shoot in Brazil anyway and filming is officially underway this week. ]]> cmb 2010-11-12T13:35:38-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
