The announcement said it'll only be shipped to US-based members.
Oh I know, but online's just... not the same. I like to collect physical copies. Actually bugs me a lot that I wasn't able to get a copy of 3 the days in Kauai one back in November..

Oh I didn't write it! They just asked me some questions...

Route map has not been updated apparently:





Can't tell if the this snippet from the article is a joke or not: Re-branded to "Hemi at Home"?



Looks like it is just being mailed to U.S.-based members, but I am sure someone can mail you one to Canada if they get it and don't want it

Same here but whoever is paying for this (Ink?) should not sent two copies to the same address as onewill be trashed immediately -- but it does boost the BPA rating and therefore ads rates

Considering the state of flux of the route network, anything published will be out-of-date that next day.

Got mine earlier also. I suppose I'll take some time to skim through it later to see what UAs in-flight magazine is like nowadays.

I stopped touching them on the plane after I saw the person sitting next to me sneeze into their copy on one of my flights several years ago.

The Forbes article answers both questions. Ink is paying and route maps are not being updated with Covid changes.

Mrs Limey and I each received our own copy yesterday. Seems like a waste sending two copies to the same address.

Nowadays, that person might get escorted off the plane for behavior like that

Received mine last week -- happy to see the "3 perfect Days" align with a place I could drive to. Assuming everyone had Montana as the destination (and that it wasn't regionally-targeted)?
