Delta Cuts Global Flying Plans Again This Year

2 US Airmen Slain in Germany Came From Military Families
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsOne told his mother not to worry about an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. He said he would be "in a fairly safe place" just as he had been in during a previous tour in Iraq. The other was an "Army brat" enjoying his time in Germany, a place where he had spent time while growing up with his two military parents. So Senior Airman Nicholas Alden and Airman 1st Class Zachary Cuddeback obviously were well aware of the dangers of serving their country. But who could have ever predicted they would die in a shooting at Frankfurt International Airport, of all places? USAF Zachary ...

Handy 'Mile High Kit' Provides Pleasure in the Skies
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsHaving sex on an airplane may sound risque, but getting your jollies in the skies doesn't have to be as wild as it seems. In fact, you can be downright discreet about it. That's the idea, at least, behind the Mile High Intimacy Kits created by Seattle-based entrepreneur Ted Youngs. The kits -- packaged in subtle, travel-ready boxes -- contain everything a jet-setter could ever want or need for a quickie, spur-of-the-moment tryst aboard an airplane. The main selling point is that the kits are so inconspicuous, no one would ever have to know your naughty intentions. At a glance, the boxes ...
Fists Fly but Not Much Else in Iced Moscow Airports
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Dec. 29) -- New York's airports aren't the only ones dealing with backlogs from bad weather. Consider Moscow. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin slammed airport bosses today for leaving up to 20,000 passengers stranded for four days, after Moscow's main terminals were forced to shut down following an ice storm. Freezing rains covered runways and jets with a thick layer of ice over the weekend, causing a 14-hour blackout on Sunday at Moscow's largest airport, Domodedovo. That power failure left passengers waiting for their flights in the dark, with no information as to when their planes ...
