American Airlines has come out with a new iPhone app for travelers (see this week’s story), a week after the TSA launched its own new app. What’s your favorite iPhone or smart phone app while you’re on the road – and why? What kind of travel-related app would you like to see that doesn’t exist today? Post your comments here.

Unpleasant flying experiences seem to be the rule rather than the exception these days so when you actually have a superlative experience it should be noted, right? With that in mind I'd like to commend the Delta team that looks after DL 30/31 to Moscow. The food was more than passable - my pasta dishes actually had substantial flavor and the salmon looked plump and not overcooked - but what really stood out was the friendly, professional service of the flight attendants. Greetings were enthusiastic and genuine, the cabin was thoroughly looked after and the overall impression was that a very professional team was running the show. I highly recommend this flight to anyone traveling to Moscow.

Well, I have just completed the route and had a very good experience. It is a demanding route and the flight attendants do a great job. They are cheerful and helpful. I really liked how they worked as a team.

Is there anyone out there that has been able to brake through the red tape and/or email barrier with AA? None of their 'friendly yet canned - so sorry' responses are not even close in adressing the specifics of my request and, all published 800 numbers lead to the reservation desk who refers me back to Customer Relations email. Have gone full circle too many times now.

A bill currently being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives would bar state and local governments from enacting new rental car taxes, which localities often use for non-travel spending like building sports stadiums (see this week’s story). When you rent a car, are you aware how much extra is tacked on in fees and taxes? Do you think car rental taxes are excessive, and should be limited by legislation? Post your comments here.

This appears fundamental - you have no vote or voice in whether they enact the taxes yet you must pay them (and they only really apply to travelers - since it is rare for locals to go to the airport to rent cars) -- this is the founding tenet of our country - taxation without representation. It is a scam - there are many arguments but in the end travelers have no voice in taxes that explicitly target them (and before you say they cause costs - the truth is that they bring revenue to communities.) Stop the scam and throw the rental cars in the Boston Harbor just like the English tea.

On behalf of Starwood Preferred Guest, I wanted to let you know about the new flights program we are introducing - SPG Flights- which takes SPG’s groundbreaking NO BLACKOUTS policy to new heights.
Launching today, the SPG Flights program lets members book flights on hundreds of airlines with NO BLACKOUT dates.
So how does it work? SPG members can simply go to http://www.spg.com/flights, search for and select their preferred flight and class of service, and redeem their Starpoints for the entire cost of the flight. Members can even earn airline miles when booking airfare through SPG Flights.
Starwood Preferred Guest members can earn two Starpoints for every eligible U.S. dollar spent at over 890 participating Starwood hotels and resorts worldwide. In addition, up to 20,000 Starpoints per calendar year can be purchased by going to http://www.spg.com and there is no Starpoints expiration date for active members. For more information visit http://www.spg.com/flights or call +353-21-4220696

Congress is weighing a tax on airline fees, and a government study suggests airlines aren’t doing enough to disclose fees to travelers (see this week’s story). Do you think that airlines’ fee information is being adequately disseminated to consumers when they search for fares online? And do you think airlines should have to pay the same 7.5 percent tax on their fees that they do on ticket purchases? Post your comments here.

Yes ... to the extent that ALL fees are clearly and PROMENENTLY disclosed and displayed prior to purchase. I believe only experienced air travelers understand that the price of a ticket is rarely the true, final price, even on Southwest.

odd that Delta would win such an award considering on International flights it doesn't even have a true First Class. American has three class service on its 777's with First being far superior to any other US Airline, hands down. Delta is just now adding lie flat beds on "SOME" international flights and even these are very skinny and not of the caliber of many other airlines.

" Delta has been adding lie flat seat since early 2008 and now serves many flights with these seats. In particular the ultra long hauls and many flights to Heathrow have lie flat. Not sure the last time you flew Delta's Business Elite class but it clearly is competative with AA First class service.

The first new move happened when Virgin America goes over the border to land at Toronto-Pearson (YYZ) with daily flights from LAX and SFO as early as June! We gave Toronto a 60% chance of being their new spot in our betting pool, but imagine Vancouver would beat it to being their first Canadian destination. Guess not! Virgin America is now daydreaming about shopping at Eaton Centre and walking on the glass floor at the top of the CN Tower, apparently.
Also arriving this summer is a destination we didn't see coming, because Virgin already flies to Fort Lauderdale. They'll be kicking in to Orlando-MCO on August 19 and tickets are already on sale at virginamerica.com—perhaps to shuttle in west coasters for a taste of the opening season of Universal Studios' new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park? Perhaps! But then everyone just likes to go to Florida, so the move makes sense.
To make room for all of this expansion, and the promise of yet another three big new destination announcements this year, the airline will end their service from Orange Country's John Wayne airport to San Francisco on May 26. It makes sense, with focus turning to their presence at LAX, so we're not distraught over the move.
Now here's the kicker: Virgin America plans to announce three more destinations still for 2010, and although they are keeping mum on those, we always hold out hope for Chicago to come through. On the other hand, as VX's long-haul service expands, we aren't sure that they'd want to make a jump to the Midwest when they could do a JFK-Vancouver or expand service from Seattle instead. So many options!

There are lots of ways to celebrate Toronto's multiculturalism this week, with festivals that showcase talents, creativity and food from around the world. Caribana hits Toronto on Thursday for two weeks of Caribbean music, food and spectacle. On the weekend, the Harbourfront hosts the Expressions of Brazil Festival, the Festival of South Asia takes over Gerrard Street, and the Festival of India parades down Yonge Street.
The Honda Indy is in town -- check out the Free Friday event, which offers free admission to the grandstands and access to the IndyCar Paddock. And, don't forget about Beaches Jazz, it's on all weekend.

I am the director of Links for Change (www.links4change.com), a new enterprise that links volunteers and charities worldwide. We provide a low, fixed fee service to potential volunteers, regardless of location, length or type of work. In return, volunteers receive a full linking service for volunteer placements, support and advice throughout the placement period and printable resources.
What makes our company unique is that the fee charged to volunteers is used to provide free volunteer linking and advice services to our partner organisations. Often, large (an ever expanding with time and location) fees end up miles away from the charities you wish to help. It is important to check where your fee is going to ensure it is not just helping someone get rich quick. If it's not clear, ask!

This is a great article and such a good way to help out whilst enjoying your holiday. I run a volunteer linking service called Links for Change providing volunteer placements for individuals or groups worldwide (<a href="">http://www.links4change.com</a>). It's always great to see some creative ideas when it comes to volunteering; we have numerous projects with animal charities around the world and it is often sad to see how little support and interest they receive. Providing just a little (or a lot) of your time to help out can have a huge impact on an organisation. Anyone who has volunteered abroad can tell you about the real difference it can make to your travel experiences; you're not just there as a tourist, you're there with locals, working for locals and seeing the "real" side of life. What could be better? I thoroughly recommend volunteering to anyone and if you are not sure about how to go about it, there are plenty of organisations out there that can help (including Links for Change). Just be aware of organisations asking large quantities of money for your experience; more often than not you money will end up miles away from the charities you want to help (unlike Links for Change). Thanks for this great article.
