Kulula airlines from South Africa has rebranded with some nice information rich livery.
Recently Jet Blue offered an All-You-Can-Jet pass for a month of unlimited flights. Its a fantastic idea, so great that it sold out early. Dustin Curtis and Alaska Miller took Jet Blue up on the offer and are visiting all 43 cities served by Jet Blue in the US, thats 90 flight segments. Why put oneself through this experience, which to be honest, will be painful at best?
In an airplane, hundreds of people with rich backgrounds and histories are crammed together for hours at a time. They have fascinating stories. We want to tell some of them. Our plan is to strike up conversations during our flights and see if maybe, after 30 days of constant flying, we can get a good understanding of the average jetBlue flier. We’re going to document our experiences at 30dayflight.com. We’d love for you to follow our adventure.

Wonder what the TSA guy was thinking when I couldn’t remember where I was going after 16 boarding passes fell out of my passport.
Good luck to these intrepid travelers and hope to watch things unfold on 30dayflight.com
VisualJournalism has a good collection of info-graphics that attempt to explain the mystery that is the crash of AF447 in the Atlantic off the coast of Brazil. With so few details it is interesting to see the stylistic differences in these graphics that all tell, roughly, the same story – a plane flying from Rio de Janiero to Paris encounters a zone of bad weather and is never heard from again.
