Pass the Mustard? Free In-flight Hot Dogs on Sun Country This Month!

July 6, 2011 at 3:35 PM | by | Comments (0)

This is one summer airline promotion that we can definitely support, as it combines a couple of our seasonal favorites—hot dogs and beer. Sun Country Airlines launched their “Hot Doggin’ it to the West Coast” promotion late last week and plans to continue promoting the fun through the end of July.

The airline is giving away free hot dogs, chips, and beer on certain flights between Minneapolis-St. Paul and certain spots on the left side of the United States. They’re doing this in honor of National Hot Dog Month, along with a little help from the local minor league baseball team—the St. Paul Saints. Flight attendants will even give away free tickets to the ballpark to a few lucky fliers on each and every one of the special hot dog flights.

Southwest, Continental, and Lufthansa Have a Few of This Week's New Routes

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· Southwest Airlines:
They haven’t even starting flying to and from the Garden State yet, but Southwest is already adding new nonstop routes to their new home at Newark-Liberty. Beginning next June, the airline is adding three daily flights to Baltimore-Washington and three trips to Denver as well as two flights to Houston and two flights to Phoenix. Not the most exciting locations, but these flights should allow for connections to pretty much anywhere within the Southwest route network. There’s no free beer to celebrate the new route announcement, but maybe they’ll have the first ever in-flight Taylor Ham sandwiches instead.

No Brett Favre For Passengers Stuck Onboard Grounded Flight For Six Hours

August 24, 2009 at 9:14 AM | by | Comments (0)

Here we go again. Just a couple weeks after another flight was stuck in Minnesota for hours, a Sun Country airplane was delayed on the tarmac at JFK for hours en route to the North Star State. Flight 252 was supposed to leave New York on Friday around 11 am, but after a late boarding and weather delays, passengers were forced to spend most of the day stuck aboard the plane. Total delay time just sitting on the runway was about six hours.

Instead of throwing the passengers a bone and distributing some complimentary snacks and beverages to keep people comfortable, the airline rolled out the cart and began to charge for service items. Apparently travelers were quick to open their wallets despite the inconvenience as the snacks soon ran out leaving many thirsty, hungry, and cranky.
