One Country Has Completely Rejected Luggage Fees
What's worse than decreasing legroom? What sucks more than have a short flight delay? The answer: paying extra for luggage.
Most U.S. airlines now charge for checked luggage, and at least four airlines already charge for carry-ons-- three of those are U.S. airlines: Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier. The fourth is Iceland's Wow Air, that of the unbelievable $99 airfares to Europe.
Low-cost airlines highly fond of extra fees in other regions of the world are understandably jealous of all the extra revenue streaming in from baggage charges. Most recently, Southeast Asian airlines considered beginning their own carry-on fees. For now, at least, one country is putting its foot down and saying no: India.

GOL and Gogo (Finally) Bring Brazil In-Flight WiFi
Good news from the folks at Gogo: They're taking their in-flight WiFi technology south of the border — like, way south.
Gogo is teaming up with GOL, a budget Brazilian airline, to install its next generation service — known as 2Ku — across the entire fleet. This is the first time in-flight broadband has been made available aboard a Brazilian airline, so we can only imagine this news will be very well received. In fact, not only will this bring in-flight WiFi, but there will also be the ability to access Gogo Vision and Gogo TV from each and every seat.
The only bummer? Things aren't quite ready for launch, and the current timetable suggests this partnership will be up (in the air) and running in mid-2016. But while GOL guests are about a year away from in-flight web surfing, they can definitely start dreaming about the speeds: Gogo is promising peak speeds of more than 70 Mbps to the aircraft, which is about 20 times the bandwidth offered through its first-generation technology in the United States. Vroom!

El Al Flight Attendants Take a Stand Against New High Heels Rules
If El Al gets its way, flight attendants may soon be serving passengers from an even higher altitude. According to CBS News, the Israeli airline now wants female attendants to wear high heels throughout the boarding process. Formerly, the rules encouraged high heels at the airport but deemed flats fine for on-board wear.

It's Baaaaack! (Maybe): Singapore Airlines Might Revive The World's Longest Flight
We know first-hand both the pleasures and the pains associated with the world's longest flight. And soon, you may too — because Singapore Airlines may soon bring back that long (very long) jaunt, following a brief hiatus.
Per the folks over at Bloomberg Business, officials at Singapore Airlines have been in talks with Airbus and Boeing, reviewing flight plans, airplane orders and other items in hopes of launching a new version of the world's longest flight. Through late 2013, Singapore Airlines was offering nearly 19-hour direct flights from Newark to Singapore — but these all-business class flights just weren't profitable enough to sustain themselves. To that point, there are still plenty of details related to fuel efficiency, long-range plane capabilities and cash flow that Singapore Airlines will need to iron out before reviving a marathon flight.
So nothing has been finalized as of yet, and and even some of the potential airplanes for the service —like the Boeing 777X — are still in development. In the meanwhile, want to live that long flight vicariously through a Jaunted correspondent? Check out an hour-by-hour look at the 2013 experience here.

More Mint for JFK as JetBlue Picks Up What United's Dropping
While loyal United flyers may still be reeling from the airline's recent announcement that they'd be completely withdrawing from New York's JFK Airportmoving their "p.s." all-business-class transcontinental flights over to their Newark hubanother airline has quickly stepped up to fill the hole.
This morning, JetBlue stated that they'd be increasing their number of daily nonstop flights from New York-JFK to both Los Angeles-LAX and San Francisco-SFO, beginning October 25. That same date is, conveniently, the day United is scheduled to pull their six daily JFK flights to LAX and seven to SFO. And it's not just like JetBlue is throwing some extra flights onto the schedule; the boost will be exclusively Airbus A321s with JetBlue's premium "Mint" class onboard. Have a look around.

Phew! IATA Backs Down On Reducing Carry-On Sizes
"That was a close call!"
You've probably felt that way when getting your just-passably-sized carry-on past gate agents. But this week we all breathed a collective sigh of relief about size standards for carry-on bags. There had been some recent discussion about changing things up; well, there was nothing literally up about it. In fact, it was a call to shrink things down into a smaller size. We (and we don't think we're alone in this) already tend to push the limits with what will fit in the gate area's baggage sizer — so we're breathing a sigh of relief.
Because, while The New York Times goes into more detail, basically the International Air Transport Association has backpedaled on previous suggestions that the size of carry-on luggage should be reduced. (By about 20%!)

The New Alitalia Is Looking Very Much Like The Old One
In case you missed it, the planes over at Alitalia recently revealed a new look and — well, it's a lot like the old look.
Adweek shared its thoughts on things, and we're pretty much in agreement. The Alitalia planes have been "redesigned" (that term used loosely) for the first time in 46 years. But the newly unveiled planes look largely the same.. The logo (the letter A) remains very similarly to former incarnations. Same goes with the colors. (As far as we know Italy is not changing the colors on its flag anytime soon, so this patriotic carrier won't be changing colors in its livery either.)
As for what did change: the subtle alterations do add up to a more polished and contemporary look. It appears that Alitalia focused on a few main factors, like giving the logo a more prominent appearance. Although the color scheme stayed the same, the hues are a bit deeper. And the plane's belly is newly naked (read: white), losing its green stripe.
Keep an eye out for the new look on your next trip over to Milan or Rome, and be sure to let us know what you think.

Frontier Removes Departure Time From Boarding Passes, And Here's Why
If you're flying with Frontier soon you might be a bit alarmed when you see the time listed on your boarding pass. The traditional departure time for your flight is now missing. (Insert: Dramatic music.) Instead, it's been replaced with a couple new time points that the airline hopes will help get you aboard more quickly and efficiently.
Per ABC News, the plan is to now list "boarding begins" and "doors close" times on the boarding passes. In a way, we kind of like this approach; it's more straightforward, so long as those two times hold true. After all, the departure time is great and all, but it doesn't really provide the best sense as to when we need to start crowding around the gate agent and the jetway door. On the other hand, we understand that replacing the departure time with the "boarding time" and "doors close" info is just a little travel psychology at work.

Here's How easyJet Wants to Use Drones and 3D Printers for Airplane Maintenance
Drones: What are they good for? Spying on neighbors, mostly. Also for maiming Enrique Iglesias.
But now it looks like drones may have a new purpose: helping to maintain airplanes. And their accomplice in this task? The 3D printer.
Per Bloomberg, low cost carrier easyJet just announced they'll embrace some innovative technological approaches to help keep passengers and planes safe. The plan is for drones to check out planes on the ground as part of regular inspections and maintenance. If you think about it, it makes good sense—another eye on things from above certainly can't hurt.

New Booze Rules: Scandinavian Airlines Limiting Alcoholic Drinks
Drunk airline passengers are no fun. (Perhaps you've endured a few reminders lately?) And SAS Airlines has come up with a plan to curb those over-served travelers; the Scandinavian airline will now cut you off after three alcoholic drinks, even in business class.
Responsible drinkers: Don't worry if you're planning to fly from North America to the land of sleek furniture and famously happy people, as this limit is only effective for the airline's flights within Europe. The guideline is in place for flyers that are a bit too fancy-free while at cruising altitude, and it really makes sense since most flights in the network are under 3.5 hours. At those fly times, reaching for the fourth serving of Aquavit just seems a bit excessive.

The 'New' Eastern Air Lines Takes To The Skies For A First Flight
In case you missed it, Eastern Air Lines is back in business — well, kind of. After filing for bankruptcy, the Miami-based carrier stopped flying in 1991; this reincarnation is unaffiliated with the old ownership, but acquired the intellectual property rights, reports the Miami Herald. The first step to reviving the brand? Launching Eastern's first revenue flights, now soaring twice-daily between Miami and Cuba. There are plans to add more flights to Cuba from other cities in the United States, but it will be a couple of months before those begin.
And don't just assume that you can jump over to your favorite travel website and get booking, because flights are currently being operated through a partnership with HavanaAir Charters. Eastern sounds like it's taking the time to reheat its brand before launching its own regularly scheduled flights, a process that "could take a year once started," according to the Herald. In the interim make your way over here, and you might just find yourself aboard an Eastern flight to Cuba.

Summer is a great time to visit Hawaii — but then, who are we kidding? Anytime is a great time to visit. Thankfully, booking your flight just got much easier, as Hawaiian Airlines has updated its website — and it looks pretty darn snazzy if you ask us.
Things are still being tested out, so technically it's just a beta version of the final project; however, we like what we see. There's gorgeous aerial imagery of the islands, vibrant colors, crisp fonts — and well, it basically makes us just want to turn over our credit card digits immediately.

Originally written on Phins Phocus | Last updated 12/19/12
As the Miami Dolphins season winds down without a winning record, one thing clearly stands out: Reshad Jones is bringing his lunch pail and getting the job done. The Dolphins safety in his 3rd season, Reshad Jones has amassed 86 combined tackles, 3 interceptions, and plenty of big stops in his Pro Bowl campaign. Many fans are starting to take notice of his hard-hitting approach, game changing plays, and an ability to provide support down field. Even though the Dolphins rank in the bottom half of pass defense, it is the little things that have kept the Dolphins defense stout. These intangibles of hard work, ability to take the ball away, read the defense, and make it a nightmare for receivers all fit the profile of what Reshad Jones means to the Dolphins on the field. The numbers speak for themselves this season with big games versus the Patriots (10 tackles, 1 interception), 49ers (8 tackles), and Buffalo (14 tackles). Not to mention a consistency in making tac...

Product description
"The companion book to the upcoming Discovery Channel television series, " Planet Dinosaur "is an introduction to the latest and most exciting dinosaur discoveries." The last decade has been particularly fruitful in the study of dinosaurs, with more new species found than were discovered in the preceding 200 years. Many of these discoveries easily eclipse previously known species and are rewriting what we know about dinosaurs. "Planet Dinosaur" is a global survey of the 30 most thrilling dinosaur species found in recent years. It provides a new global perspective on dinosaurs, revealing which species lived at the same time on different continents and how the Earth looked in each time period. Specimens in China, the Sahara, the Arctic, Antarctica and North America are especially exciting. The deadly predator, Giganotosaurus, outsized T-Rex. Dracorex hogwartsia lived in North America 70 million years ago and resembled a real-life dragon. Comprehensive text describes where the dinosaurs lived, their physical characteristics and their behavior. 120 stunning computer-generated illustrations and graphics render the awe-inspiring creatures in lifelike detail. This is the same technology used in the award-winning TV special "Walking with Dinosaurs" and in the bestselling book "The Complete Guide to Prehistoric Life." A three-part TV special on which "Planet Dinosaur" is based will air on Discovery Channel in the summer of 2012. Information on the most exciting discoveries of recent years and extraordinary illustrations make "Planet Dinosaur" essential for anyone interested in dinosaurs.

1853-The English ship Western World grounded off Spring Lake, New Jersey, during a gale with about 600 persons on board. Everyone was rescued using equipment at the nearby station.
1960-Early in the morning, SS Alcoa Corsair and SS Lorenzo Marcello collided near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Although the Lorenzo Marcello suffered no casualties and proceeded to New Orleans, Alcoa Corsair had 8 fatalities, 9 injured, and 1 missing, besides being forced to beach because of severe damages. A Coast Guard helicopter removed 4 of the critically injured crewmen, while Coast Guard boats and other craft ferried the remaining ones ashore to waiting ambulances.

Operationally, we enhanced our customer experience through targeted reinvestment in our properties and improved relationships through our M life customer loyalty program. Strategically, we acquired a majority interest in MGM China and began expanding our brand presence in key markets throughout the world, particularly Asia. Financially, our revenues and margins have improved year over year increasing our cash flow and strengthening our financial profile,? said Jim Murren, MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO. ?Going forward we expect to build off of these strategies to grow our company and maximize shareholder value.?Certain Items Affecting Fourth Quarter ResultsThe following table lists items that affect the comparability of the current and prior year quarterly results in addition to the consolidation of MGM China (approximate EPS impact shown, net of tax, per share; negative amounts represent charges to income):Three months ended December 31,20112010Property transactions, net: Investment in Borgata impairment$(0.07)$?

Tax adjustments in the prior year quarter include a $32 million, or $0.07 per share, reduction in the Company?s income tax benefit as a result of providing reserves for certain state-level deferred tax assets. In the current quarter, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $62 million ($0.07 per share, net of tax) related to its investment in Borgata and an impairment charge of $23 million ($0.03 per share, net of tax) related to its investment in Silver Legacy.Wholly Owned Domestic Resorts Casino revenue related to wholly owned domestic resorts increased 8% compared to the prior year quarter.

Slots revenue increased 3% compared to the prior year quarter.Rooms revenue increased 10% with Las Vegas Strip REVPAR up 13%. The following table shows key hotel statistics for the Company?s Las Vegas Strip resorts:Three months ended December 31,20112010Occupancy %87%84%Average Daily Rate (ADR)$129$118Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR)$111$98Operating income for the Company?s wholly owned domestic resorts for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $186 million, an increase of 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. MGM ChinaOn February 22, 2012, MGM China?s Board of Directors announced a dividend of approximately $400 million, which will be paid to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2012 and distributed on or about March 20, 2012. MGM Resorts International will receive approximately $204 million, representing 51% of such dividend.The schedules accompanying this release provide pro forma information for MGM China, presented for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as if the acquisition of the Company?s controlling interest occurred as of January 1, 2010. The following are the key fourth quarter results for MGM China on a pro forma basis:MGM China earned net revenue of $719 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $570 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was driven by year-over-year increases in volume for VIP table games, main floor table games, and slots of 29%, 13% and 35%, respectively. VIP table games hold percentage was slightly above our expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% in the current and prior year periods; andAdjusted Property EBITDA increased 23% to $174 million.MGM China completed its initial public offering of shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on June 3, 2011 and the Company acquired an additional 1% interest in MGM China, which owns the MGM Macau resort and casino. This acquisition increased the Company?s ownership interest to 51% and, as a result, the Company began consolidating MGM China as of June 3, 2011. Prior to June 3, 2011, the results of MGM Macau were accounted for under the equity method of accounting.Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated AffiliatesThe following table summarizes information related to the Company?s share of operating income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates:Three months ended December 31,20112010(In thousands)CityCenter$(10,262)$(38,415)MGM Macau?58,410Other5,4477,280$(4,815)$27,275Results for CityCenter Holdings, LLC for the fourth quarter of 2011 include the following (see schedules accompanying this release for further detail on CityCenter?s fourth quarter results): Net revenue from resort operations increased to $265 million compared to $231 million in the prior year quarter;Adjusted Property EBITDA from resort operations was $58 million, an increase of 62% compared to the prior year quarter;Aria?s table games hold percentage was approximately 240 basis points higher in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter; andAria?s occupancy percentage was 82% and its ADR was $207, resulting in REVPAR of $169, a 10% increase compared to the prior year fourth quarter.

As a result, the Company had a higher than normal cash balance at December 31, 2011 of $1.9 billion, which also included approximately $720 million of cash and cash equivalents related to MGM China. At December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $13.6 billion of indebtedness (with a carrying value of $13.5 billion), including $3.3 billion of borrowings outstanding under its senior credit facility. Giving effect to the repayment in January 2012 of the $778 million additional borrowing noted above, the Company would have had approximately $957 million of available borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility at December 31, 2011. In January 2012, the Company issued $850 million of 8.625% senior unsecured notes due 2019, for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $836 million. As previously announced, the Company is seeking amendments to its aggregate $3.5 billion senior credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity of loans held by consenting lenders from February 21, 2014 to February 23, 2015. Lenders holding approximately 62% or $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the credit facility have elected to extend the maturity dates of their commitments. Extending lenders will receive a 20% reduction of their previous credit exposures, unless waived by such lenders. In addition, extending lenders? loans will be subject to a pricing grid that decreases the LIBOR spread by as much as 250 basis points based upon collateral coverage levels and the LIBOR floor on extended loans would be reduced from 200 basis points to 100 basis points. The closing of the amendment is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of this month.?We remain committed to improving our balance sheet and maximizing free cash flow as evidenced by our recent bond issuances, the commitments to our senior credit facility amend and extend transaction, and today?s dividend announcement from MGM China,? said Dan D?Arrigo, MGM Resorts International Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer. ?While we have made tremendous progress, we see further opportunities to lower our cost of capital and de-lever our balance sheet.? Conference Call DetailsMGM Resorts International will host a conference call at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time today which will include a brief discussion of these results followed by a question and answer period. The call will be accessible via the Internet through www.mgmresorts.com under the investors section or by calling 1-877-355-2280 for domestic callers and 1-706-758-3659 for international callers. The conference call access code is 43802425. A replay of the call will be available through Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The replay may be accessed by dialing 1-855-859-2056 or 1-404-537-3406. The replay access code is 43802425. The call will also be archived at www.mgmresorts.com.(1)REVPAR is hotel Revenue per Available Room. (2)?Adjusted EBITDA? is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, and property transactions, net, and the gain on the MGM China transaction. ?Adjusted Property EBITDA? is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the MGM Resorts stock option plan, which is not allocated to each property. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to its stock compensation plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA for MGM China. Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. Management believes that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of the Company?s earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, management believes excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, pre-opening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when the Company is developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within the Company?s resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company?s operating resorts? performance. Reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP operating income (Loss) to Adjusted Property EBITDA are included in the financial schedules in this release.About MGM Resorts InternationalMGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is one of the world?s leading global hospitality companies, operating a peerless portfolio of destination resort brands, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage.

Wisconsin, Minnesota utilities to import power from Manitoba dams
The province of Manitoba announced Wednesday that it had signed multibillion-dollar agreements to sell power beginning in 2020 and 2021 to Wisconsin Public Service Corp. of Green Bay and Minnesota Power of Duluth.
The agreement comes after the state Senate passed a bill that would qualify hydroelectric power from large dams as "renewable" under the state's green power mandate. The bill is awaiting final passage in the state Assembly.
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger said the agreements it has signed would sell 250 megawatts of power to Minnesota Power, 100 megawatts to Wisconsin Public Service. Combined with a 125-megawatt sale to Northern States Power that was previously completed, the sales total 475 megawatts, with an estimated value of $4 billion.
The deals will trigger construction of new large dams in Manitoba, specifically the 695-megawatt Keeyask (Cree for gull) Generating Station – a $5.6 billion project.
"I am very pleased that Manitoba Hydro is moving forward with these power sales which will significantly increase our exports and lead to further development of Manitoba's renewable hydro power resources," Selinger said in a statement. "These sales will add to Manitoba's reputation as a sustainable energy leader and help reduce global greenhouse-gas emissions by reducing the need for thermal generation in the United States. At the same time, the development of Keeyask will deliver jobs, training and business opportunities to the Keeyask Cree Nations, the north and all of Manitoba."
The deal with Wisconsin Public Service covers the 2021 to 2027 time frame. Negotiations between the two companies are continuing to expand that sale to 500 megawatts, which would trigger construction of another dam, the Conawapa Generating Station. The Minnesota Power deal covers 2020 to 2035 and would require an additional power line connection between Manitoba and the United States.
Sale agreements with Minnesota Power and Wisconsin Public Service will require regulatory approval in Canada and the United States.

Service was fast, good and food amazing. We were waiting to officiate a wedding and decided to eat something before the event. Love the decoration
Great food and it was good to support a Puerto Rican chef and business. Staff are locals or at least Puerto Ricans
We had no idea what to expect when we walked into Conuco except that we'd heard the food was excellent. We were welcomed by two waiters who were standing on the restaurant's balcony just above street level. Our first impression of the restaurant was that it was pleasant and unimposing.
We were seated at a window where we had a...
We ate here and loved the food.We did not order any drinks other than water even though they had an excellent offering.We were just dehydrated from being at the beach all day.We ordered the Pork tenderloin steak it came with Yuka Root we had never tried before.Both were very good,would order it again.We also had the Risotto appetizer that was...
The food was good but the service was horribly slow and overpriced for the overall experience.................................................................................................................................................................
I had the whole fried snapper special. It was very good. Service was fast. No canadian whiskey so I had water. Located downtown. Open air.
This is by far the best meal we had the entire time we spent in Puerto Rico. The food is beyond delicious and you can tell it is made with true passion. We ordered the Sangria Chicken both nights and is is the most delicious food I've ever had. The atmosphere is also great! We had the same waitress each...
Nice Sangria!
Got the whole fried fish - Delicious!
Got the filet of fish in creole sauce - Delicious!
Nice evening dinner!
We were new to the island and ended up visiting several restaurants. This was the best by a moderate margin. I cook this type of food so am very fussy. My dish was ripe plantains as a cooked shelll for spiced ground beef. It was otherworldly. My wife had mofongo. She is Puerto Rican and before this dish said she...
It's another converted house so the lay out is little goofy. We sat outside in the back yard. Again, everything here is on "island time" so don't get excited about the service. The food was great and I would definitely go again. Kids had a great time ran around the backyard chasing lizards. The staff was great and spent time...
