A couple of weeks ago, I spent a day in Frankfurt while enroute ultimately to Hong Kong. Obviously that created a great opportunity to take in “Plane Spotting” at one of the world’s best airport for the hobby. In case you missed my previous posts on my latest round of plane spotting, …

One of my favorite things to do in between flights is chill at the United Club and now you can too! I’m also throwing in a pair of drink certs, just as my little way of saying mahalo for making First2Board a success. Yesterday we officially celebrated our 83rd day on the internet, and in …

I’ll go on the record and say that New York LaGuardia is not my favorite airport…or at least it wasn’t.

The one redeeming …
