Travel: Use Codeshares To Find Cheap Summer Flights Abroad
http://consumerist.com/5256409/use-codeshares-to-find-cheap-summer-flights-abroad
how do you find codeshares? First, find your desired flight number and punch it into a flight tracking service like Flight Stats. Look for a section breaking out specific codeshares and the flight numbers associated with the other airlines. Then, go to each airline listed and search for the codeshared flight number to compare the price. Once you've found the lowest fare, book it and start packing!
Before locking in your summer fare to Europe, see if you can't find a better deal by searching an airline's codeshare partners.

SR-71 Break-Up

Among professional aviators, there's a well-worn saying: Flying is simply hours of boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror. And yet, I don't recall too many periods of boredom during my 30-year career with Lockheed, most of which was spent as a test pilot.

La explosión del volcán Eyjafjallajökull hace 2 semanas hizo que el tráfico aéreo de media europa quedara suspendido por unos días. En ésta llamativa animación se ve la vuelta a la normalidad (especialmente en lo que afecta a UK).

John Graham-Cumming: How to sleep on a long haul flight
http://blog.jgc.org/2010/06/how-to-sleep-on-long-haul-flight.html
... But the flight was over ten hours. The right thing to think is: oh, 10 hours of sleep, that'll do me good. But do not look at your watch and think about the flight time left. Just close your eyes, put on the blindfold, shut out the noise and relax. Of course, relaxing is hard, but I find that something simple like alternate nostril breathing works wonders to calm me down. The yogi probably won't tell you but the beer also helps. PS It's important to know how to unblock your ears because blocked ears can be painful. Here's a good description.
