8/20    China Airlines sucks!!! Crash in 2002, 1999, 1998, and 1994,
        killing over 1000 people. Screw China & fly EVA. Support Ah-Bian!
        \_ In other words flying is still safer than driving. Also
           private planes (general aviation) still kills the most:

7/29    Is it really true that we subsidize auto driving to the tune of

7/19    Isn't there an airport tax at SFO where every departing passenger needs
        to pay?  I can't find any info on http://www.flysfo.com  Thanks.
        \_ Sorry for my previous incorrect comment, all enplaning passengers
           pay a Passenger Facility Charge of $4.50.

1/12    Dear Narita and Taipei flyers. I'm thinking of flying to Taiwan
        and Japan for 2+ weeks and someone suggested that I should get
        a round trip flight from US->NRT->TPE, then TPE->NRT and
        stay in Japan for a few days, and finally NRT->US. Should I just
        book directly on JAL or ANA? Would travel agency be able to
        get a better deal? Advice please...

12/1    Is it just my imagination or flight attendants in China are younger
        and more attractive than the cougars I see in US domestic airlines?

        \_ you're a pathetic loser.
        \_ Of course this is not your imagination.  Try flying on Singapore
