2500 JP miles for new JP accounts

JetPrivilege is offering 2500 free JP miles just for signing up for the JetPrivilege program. Not that 2500 miles goes a long way for redemptions in the JP program - it doesn't. These 2500 miles are also not eligible for tier qualification.

But you do need a certain minimum number of miles to kick off redemptions, so if you (surprisingly) don't have a JP account yet, you can sign up and benefit from this offer. Be sure to use this link (not mine - it's JP's). The promotion code for this is FBENB.

Of all the reasons to scrap a flight...and not just any flight

Image
At 7,807 miles, Air India's AI191 from BOM to EWR may not be anywhere near the longest scheduled and operating commercial flight in the world. But it is, along with UA49, the longest flight ex-India, and it is on the verge of being cancelled. The reason? Billboards (hoardings). That's right. There are three billboards of supposedly unreasonable height on the main road that runs perpendicular to the main runway at BOM. And so, the 340-seater B777-300ER aircraft that plies this BOM-EWR route cannot be loaded beyond 260 passengers, due to reasons of take-off weight, so that it can safely clear this billboard. If you find that strange, here's a bit of back-story: There used to be five billboards, and 4 were taken down and one remained due to legal issues (and if you're even remotely familiar with the legal system in India, you'll know that it could take a couple of lifetimes for cases to be closed in court - there's even one that started in 1878 and as of March 2...
