1) view from the wing summarizes some interesting points on a publicly available document that details what holiday in express hotels must offer. back in december, he did the same for best western hotels.
2) vancouver airport is canada's most efficient airport according to the ATRS global airport benchmarking report. while it sounds nice, it doesn't actually mean much for the consumer. it simply compares output (number of aircraft movements and passengers, non-flight revenues) to the input (number of full time employees and outsourced services. in reality, it is more a measure of cost efficiency rather than efficiencies for the traveler. in america, atlanta and oklahoma rank top in airports with more and less than 15 million passengers, respectively.
3) guests staying in travelodges in the uk will no longer have access to free bibles. "the company decided that having a Christian book in rooms did not reflect the country's 'multicultural society.'" i just remembered those bibles as one of the only books you were allowed to (and encouraged to) steal.
4) air france flight crews have petitioned against flights to ebola-stricken african countries. one of the things the airline says is that they screen the temperature of all passengers. and while that is fine, i wonder how effective this is when the incubation period, according to the ever so trustworthy wikipedia, averages 8-10 days. then again, i'm not really an infectious disease or community medicine specialist.
