Brussels Airlines Upgrades to Lie-flat Sky Beds and More

Where: Belgium
January 16, 2012 at 12:25 PM | by | Comments (0)

Brussels Airlines recently announced some major network upgrades and in-flight products and took to social media to brag about their new toys to all their followers. With dramatic unveilings on Twitter and instagram and the final product look on Facebook, the carrier created quite a buzz for their newest seats.

In the front of the plane, the Belgian carrier is launching lie-flat sky beds for intercontinental service with all of the bells and whistles we expect in business class. Super roomy seats with loads of work space is what premium passengers can expect with the addition of a pneumatic setting that allows passengers to pick a 'hard' or 'soft' seat.

Don't worry, there is some fun for economy too! By reducing the profile of their seats, Brussels boasts just about 33 inches of leg room and further recline.

Delta Will Go All In with Their Huge Expansion at New York's LaGuardia Airport

December 23, 2011 at 8:41 AM | by | Comments (0)

Last week we just scratched the surface about what Delta has planned for New York’s LaGuardia Airport, but this week all the juicy details have been released for new cities and new flights. Overall it looks like Delta is really building up LGA as sort of a new domestic hub, as they’ve got flights heading out of the Big Apple to here, there, and everywhere.

Some of the flights were part of a trade off with US Airways, so a few routes are staying the same—they’re just getting new planes, pilots, and flight attendants to fly back and forth. In total there’s like 100 new daily flights to 30 different cities, and it’s all happening from LGA.

Meanwhile, Delta is hard at work on the other side of Queens at JFK, building new stuff and updating terminals, but with all these new flights and new cities we hope that the bulldozers and hardhats take a hop on the Van Wyck Expressway when they’re done.

How To Get Tickets To The 9-11 Memorial

September 12, 2011 at 9:10 AM | by | Comments (0)

It’s been ten years in the making, but yesterday the 9/11 Memorial in New York City opened to families of the victims affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Starting today, the place is open to anyone and everyone, so you’re free to pay your respects. However, you are going to need a ticket, but don’t worry—they’re free.

Timed admission passes are available online, but as you can imagine, they're being booked up quickly. As of this morning, there are a few options for later this month, but you’re going to need to cut of work early—or extend that lunch break—as they’re smack dab in the middle of the afternoon. The online reservation system is pretty slick, as you can pick specific times and dates with little to no hassle—again, assuming availability. Things were a little buggy at times, but we’re just thinking it’s because we’re only one of like a million people trying to access the site.

April 26, 2011 at 9:13 AM | by | Comments (0)

After years of decline it looks like Coney Island has finally found its place in the 21st century, and things seem to be moving full speed ahead into the future. Last year Luna Park joined the theme park offerings, and this summer looks to welcome a pair of brand new roller coasters. Sure they aren’t the extreme offerings at some of the country’s bigger parks, but these are the first new coasters to hit the boardwalk in more than 80 years.

Scream Zone is one of the area’s newest amusement park spots, and recently they introduced the new rides. Soarin' Eagle and Steeplechase were welcomed by coaster fans—including Mayor Bloomberg—last week.
