Not this non-rev. I stick to the Vanuatu Business Journal.

That's what I was wondering!

Well that's no surprise, considering you're friends with all the big-wigs (or is it Kahunas) in that part of the world

I see the Economist and Foreign Policy in the lounge in Austin. But you're right, I wish we could get these in IAH or other lounges.

Baglady Jr. disagrees with you on that; I however agree. I always take 3-4 mags with me and pass them along to FAs when I'm done. Stepbaglady's magazine drive gave us more than enough magazines to last all Pclubs at IAH. I sometimes leave these in the Pclub if I read in there. I also donate to the "reading library" at the foreign hotels I stay at. My part in being green

This GA thanks you for leaving behind all of those wonderful magazines you are forced to buy from the newstands. I haven't had to subscribe to a magazine in years!

Yes, I know this is an old thread, but I'm sitting by the magazine/newspaper stand in the EWR C3 PC, and I'm still wondering who reads these magazines. I've seen at least 15 people come up, look at the magazines, and walk away without taking one. Are these magazines sold on an actual newsstand?

Maybe with Tablet computers, it's just too easy to bring whatever you want to read on the plane.

The newspapers are nearly all gone, of course. I have yet to see one placed back on the rack. In fact, I'm watching one guy now take 3 copies of the NY Times.
