Upgraded: Awareness of airlines’ crappy recycling efforts
I have always bristled at the toss-everything-in-the-bag trash collection aboard US-based airlines. (It’s a striking contrast from European carriers, for example.) So I’m glad to see some light shining on the recycling practices — or lack thereof — of American carriers. The best of the bunch: Delta and Virgin America. Failing grades: United and US Airways. See the FastCompany roundup.
Upgraded: Wifi on Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines using Aircell’s service, which is sold under the Gogo name.
Downgraded: Rental car
deals
Blame Toyota. The carmaker’s huge recall took out about 8% of vehicles of the
American rental car fleet. Yes, recall repairs are being done, but the rates
aren’t pulling back too quickly. That is, unless you’re doing a one-way rental from Florida to …
well, anywhere.
