Democracy comes and goes -- in some places. And then it comes and goes again. To come back again and go again. Well, if Virgin Atlantic starts flying there, then perhaps there's another route to earn some Delta MQMs even if DL is unwilling to allow award redemptions on VS flights.

News coverage as simple as on travel and frequent flyer programs -- well, it's not always simple -- can't even be covered accurately by some reporters. My latest minor pet peeve: lack of media follow-up in broadcasting corrections and clarifications.

CNN reported that Alitalia was honoring the special YYZ-LCA biz tickets. Well now it appears that Alitalia has radically changed itineraries (along with changes in travel dates, stopovers, fare rules, etc) and that AZ is only reluctantly transporting people, sometimes leaving some of us to swim between Cyprus and Italy.

Well, I do enjoy excercise ... but not that much.
