All Aboard Vueling's Instagram Jet!

Where: Spain
May 21, 2012 at 6:27 PM | by | Comments (0)

Hey—remember when KLM used Facebook to cover a plane in your photos, creating a very unique livery?

Well we're happy to say that another airline has decided to let you dictate its airplane's looks, but this time it'll be using Instagram. Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling is asking their Facebook fans to upload images of Vueling destinations* to their Instagram accounts for the chance at winning 1 of 50 free roundtrip flights and a spot for their photo on the exterior of a Vueling jet in inside a printed book that travels with that special aircraft.

The Skywriting That Took New York City's Beautiful Day by Storm

May 21, 2012 at 10:58 AM | by | Comments (0)

In you case you missed it on our Instagram feed yesterday, a single sentence of skywriting appeared above Manhattan on Sunday afternoon and, in the clear blue sky, spelled out "Christine Hall Will U Marry Me."

Immediately Twitter and Instagram went crazy with news and images of the skywriting, as it could be spotted from as far as Riverside Park on the west side of the Manhattan, to where we stood in Astoria, Queens (cause you know we look up at the sound of any airplane engine). The entire stretch of dot-matrix cloud letters could be best read from the middle of Central Park, where it seems the couple were relaxing on what was, weather-wise, perhaps the nicest New York day yet.

Air France Gives Instagram a First Peek Inside Their Largest Lounge Ever

Where: Paris, France
April 12, 2012 at 11:34 AM | by | Comments (0)

So, do you think the $1 Billion sale of social photo sharing site Instagram to Facebook has had any effect on photos posted this week? We mean aside from any jokey reaction shots after the news of the sale hit the wire. For one, we've personally noticed increased brand activity on Instagram, especially with travel brands who realize it's a channel they can control (and no one wants to read press releases--just show the pictures!)

Air France has fully adopted Instagram, though only recently using it as a kind of supplementary news stream. The latest news? Air France will open their largest lounge ever, at Paris-Chares de Gaulle's new S4 boarding satellite, this summer.

The 3,000 square meter Salon d'Affaires will have 600 seats. Here's a few views, via airfrance on Instagram:

Why We're Still So Excited for Instagram and Travel Photography

April 3, 2012 at 1:26 PM | by | Comments (0)

We warned you it was coming! Social photo-sharing app Instagram launched today for Android and, while it's still totally free and available for download, its capabilities don't yet match the full functionality that iPhones enjoy with the app. Don't worry—it's all still coming. Better now download (right here), get your username reserved and start following people to see how it works. Shameless plug for our own accounts: jaunted, hotelchatter, vegaschatter.

Of course the introduction of the Android app will mean an influx of new users, so goodbye 27 million and hello...270 million? Of course all the new users won't just be Android, but more iPhone users as well as word spreads.

We're psyched. We're psyched that more people can now share the photos they've traveled for and spent time on. We're psyched for you guys to see ours as well. We're psyched for the future contests and opportunities that Instagram does so well.

Instagram for Android Now on Final Approach

March 26, 2012 at 5:55 PM | by | Comments (0)

For all we talk about the awesomeness of Instagram (check out our photos under "Jaunted"), there is one major flaw: it's only available to those on iPhone or iPad. Until now-ish. Instagram is coming to Android devices, and soon.

Digitaltrends.com has the news that Beta sign-up has opened for the Instagram Android app

What this means is more than a huge growth in the number of users of Instagram (around 27 million now), but also much more travel photos from more places around the world. Plus! Plus naturally this will include enhanced features, like what we're really hoping for: multiple account management and the ability to save favorites into categories. Imagine having a "to visit" folder. WANT.

So, Android users—sign up for the beta here, and then when it comes to be, check us out at Jaunted, HotelChatter and VegasChatter. See you there!

Photographing the Vintage Cars of Mendoza, Argentina (in Hipstamatic)

February 29, 2012 at 2:13 PM | by | Comment (1)

If you want to talk about cities and their signature characteristics (and we obviously do), then you could say that NYC has its bodegas and delis, Las Vegas has its flashy signage, Moscow has its onion domes and Santiago—as we've already seen—has its vibrant street art. But Mendoza, Argentina?

Wineries, right? Wrong. The wineries of Mendoza are, for the most part, outside Mendoza in the agrarian outskirts. Instead, in the proper city center, we instead found streets littered with brightly painted vintage cars—Renaults, Peugeots, Fiats and Fords and Dodges from the 1950s through late 1970s, all surviving thanks to the arid environment.
