It has finally happened. An emotional support animal has attacked a passenger on an aircraft.

Delta’s Disastrous Terminal Move at LAX – What Did We Miss?

TBT: Airport Deviled Eggs
The Delta Sky Club brought to mind one of my favorite posts of yesteryear – airport deviled eggs. Why? Because despite Jim’s observation that travel is not healthy, it really should be.
