Here is some of the best travel news and notes from around the Internet:
- Some airlines will now start charging airplane passengers to file complaints. Thankfully, when I got my $1306 check from Aer Lingus, it only cost me HOURS (and hours) of my time…
- When searching on OTA Skyscanner, James Lloyd came across an itinerary with a 413786 hour (47 year) layover. When he asked them on their Facebook page what he should do, the ensuing banter pretty much won the Internet.

Would the Emirates miles from the first flight have expired by the time the second flight was taken?
LOL. Someone also commented that somehow after the 47 year layover, he goes back in time to still make his connecting flight 🙂
