Back in Business: A transcon trip in the American Airlines A321T

25 July 2022 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

American A321 at LAX

Is $50/hour a fair price to pay for upgrading to a business class seat? American Airlines suggested that price to me last week, and after a long couple days of work north of Los Angeles I took the offer. With a transcon flight home ahead, I figured the extra space and comfort would be worthwhile. It was a pleasant and comfortable trip, though the A321T fleet is starting to show its age.

Apple adds TSA-compliant ID capability to iOS Wallet

7 June 2021 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Scan your ID into Apple Wallet and use an iPhone to clear TSA security. It could happen later this year.

It was nearly a decade ago that Apple launched Passbook as part of iOS 6. That opened the door to a mobile phone storing digital boarding passes, loyalty program cards, and more. Now the company wants to take an even deeper role in the travel experience: Apple wants the iPhone to be your ID as part of iOS 15.

5 January 2021 By Seth Miller 1 Comment
