Good news is they finally pulled the post, 6 hours later.

I wasn't going to get into the "candy" merits here. Life is short.

But, since you brought it up, yes, of course, and I'm also well aware that there's been a fair bit of on-line and Flyer Talk chatter about the kiosk questions versus the blue form questions versus (shudder) the actual law. More to the point, the US Customs FAQ page says, "You must declare all food products," and that's in red type. Did I mention the red type? Ok then.

Too bad typing stuff in red has never made anyone right, ever. Anyway, I've never had the patience for that sort of debate generally, let alone when Global Entry can be revoked on a whim. So we've always just made sure that we throw any remaining food items away on the plane before landing. Including candy.

Have the kiosk questions changed yet again? The original kiosk question was like you stated. Then about a year ago, it changed to include the generic "food" question:

See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trust...bout-food.html

This change resulted in everyone getting a "O" on your GE slip if you answered YES to the food question. I have not heard/seen that the kiosk question has reverted back to the original wording,

If anyone is interested, I built a site called TravelMore that aggregates all the BA, F2B, TPG, MMS, etc posts and ranks the top 10 posts everyday based on reader votes. Filters out all the junk and in 1 click you can see if there is anything important to read. I used to use Feedly but there was too much repetition or just blatant CC ads.

Sweet! Thanks.

No problem. I just launched it last week. If you have any feedback or feature requests for how to make it better, please let me know.

How are you filtering the blogs/topics? (I was morbidly curious and searched for some of my own content since I saw other P2B blogs but didn't find any using search... always curious if it's a tagging issue or what else.)

So I started this last week and am still ironing out some of the bugs, so it is just me just manually posting the content from a RSS feed for now. I am working towards RSS automation so everyone's post from BA, F2B, P2B, etc will all automatically post in real time. If I ever miss your post (sometimes happens since there are a lot), you can always sign up and manually post it for the time being.

Well done!

I actually had almost the exact same idea, but I'm glad someone else actually had the technical know-how and the motivation to see it through!

My 3 year old loves you for making this post.

He insists on me reading it to him every night since I ordered it from Amazon because of your post. :)

1) The automation can be very easy, depending on the platform you're using as the base of the site. I have similar already in production on hack.travel.

2) If you're just going to post everything that is posted on those sites then what is the value proposition? Why would someone use you as an aggregator when there are so many other ways to just subscribe to the main feeds?

It's a wonderful book, and you are a wonderful parent for sharing it with your son. ^

I wonder if anyone on BA will blog about 500 free SPG points for updating your "my stay preferences"

Lobster fetishism
 

Is there a secret SEO reason behind VFTW posting photos of lobster thermidor and other dishes not available on British Airways (to accompany yesterday's post on BA starting to take advance meal orders) and following up today with a very similar set of photos of lobster dishes that are unsurprisingly not available on US Airways (to illustrate a post on that airline's meals)?

Copyright issues probably, finding images that you have permission to use is time consuming.
