JohnnyJet

Welcome to the ultimate hub where travel aficionados come together to share their insights and knowledge, helping you become a travel pro. This platform is not just about learning; it's a space to have fun, discover new places, and relax. I started this newsletter and website as a personal project. It all began when I reached out to a few friends who loved to travel and wanted to accumulate mileage like I did. We challenged each other to see who could rack up the most miles, and after surpassing them (having traveled an impressive 150,000 miles a year for the last decade), I decided to lend a helping hand. My initial emails provided them with tips on which numbers to call for earning double miles or points. As my creativity grew, so did my email list. I began adding features like travel tips, live webcams, and valuable travel websites. Soon, I received requests from people I didn’t even know, wanting to join my distribution list. When my subscriber count hit 500, I realized it was time to create a dedicated website. I saw that while there were many helpful sites out there, none had everything I needed in one place. With countless travel bookmarks that I couldn’t easily navigate, I organized them all into one user-friendly portal: The Johnny Jet Portal! This website is designed to connect travelers with all the resources the internet has to offer, whether you jet-set every week or travel just once every few years. It has become the go-to destination for thousands of travelers. Those who contribute to Johnny Jet share my passion for travel, and together we uncover the best ways to travel efficiently, comfortably, stylishly, and affordably. Spread the word and encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to subscribe to our free Johnny Jet Travel News, Tips, and Stories newsletter (here) and make use of our search engines when planning their trips.

2 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

Earlier today I was at LAX to check out the new American Airlines (AA) 787-9P. The “P” stands for Premium, and this beautiful bird launched today with Chicago (ORD) to Los Angeles (LAX) to ORD and then on to London Heathrow’s (LHR) before it returns to ORD to start the merry-go-round again. They currently have two planes in rotation, but AA will eventually have 30 787-9P aircraft by 2029. Later in the year, they will also be flying it from Philadelphia to Zurich and Dallas to Brisbane and Auckland.

4 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

I haven’t been to Las Vegas since the pandemic and videos like this aren’t exactly motivating me to rush back. @wonderousATX posted a clip of the Flamingo Las Vegas check-in line, and it’s pure chaos: hundreds, maybe even a thousand, people standing in line at 3:50 p.m. on June 1. The caption reads: “It appears @FlamingoVegas 🦩 is not doing a great job at this hotel check-in guest process thingy.

5 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

For most travelers, a winter escape to the Dominican Republic conjures images of sunshine, beaches and all-inclusive relaxation. But for David Bennett, a Burlington, Ontario, Canada resident, what was supposed to be a one-week getaway turned into a two-month nightmare that cost him his freedom, his peace of mind and more than $80,000. Bennett recently returned home after spending 71 days detained in the Dominican Republic, where he was falsely accused of drug trafficking.
Grey’s Anatomy Star Detained by Airport Security Over Healthy Organic Snack

5 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

Ellen Pompeo, best known for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, recently shared a surprising travel mishap with Travel + Leisure. While going through TSA, she was detained for carrying what seemed like an innocent snack. “I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy. They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in. And I was like, what is happening? Is this a joke?” she said.
Airline Videos Live is a 24/7 Live LAX Channel That Might Be the Best Thing on YouTube for Aviation Fans

5 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

I thought I was a huge aviation geek but after learning about this 24/7 live YouTube channel for LAX, I realized I’ve got nothing on these guys. In addition to their 24/7 live feed, they do a seven-hour radio-style show three times a week with their big show on Sundays. They do it from one of the best plane spotting spots at LAX – Jim Clutter Park on Imperial Hill (here are the directions) just above Imperial Highway near Runway 25L.
LAX Insider Tips: How to Navigate the Airport Like a Local

5 days ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) spans about 3,500 acres and has nine terminals with over 130 gates. It’s the second-busiest airport in the U.S., serving more than 75 million passengers annually and I’m always surprised when I see people complaining on social media about how much they hate it and think it’s one of the worst airports in the world. I might be biased since it’s my home airport and I’ve flown in and out of it hundreds of times.

'So What’s the Weirdest Thing to Happen to You on a Plane? I’ll Go First!'

1 week ago | johnnyjet.com | Johnny Jet

“So What’s the Weirdest Thing to Happen to You on a Plane? I’ll Go First!” This was the headline from a recent Reddit thread (embedded below) so obviously I had to click it. It then showed a man seated by a window on a Delta plane playing a recorder. The caption read: “On landing / taxi, this fine gentleman pulled out his recorder and played Amazing Grace for the other 100 or so people on the plane. I’m quite happy he waited until the end of the flight.
