American Airlines has a nice promo going on for AAdvantage members for the month of August. If you book by August 31, 2010 for shorter flights (less than 700 miles), you can shave off 30% of the amount of miles required for an airline ticket using your miles. This includes travel for the United States and Canada.

I've provided the details and a link to the official page with all the rules/regs - American Airlines AAdvantage Savings on Shorter Flights.

It's done. The indicators were there - the temporary halting of online ticket sales, the labor issues, the economy, swine flu - a mix of circumstances both within and outside of the airline's control has led to its indefinite grounding.

Mexicana, one of the oldest airlines in the Americas, has stopped flying...ceasing operations indefinitely. Mexicana stopped flying today, Saturday, August 28 at noon.

It's interesting to see the evolution of social media sites like Twitter in terms of the airlines. A few have really embraced Twitter, while most still don't seem to be taking full advantage of its format. For quick snippets of info, relaying timely news on regular events such as delays, even airfare deals, the immediacy of Twitter works really well.

Even though it isn't as widely used as some other social media sites like Facebook, Twitter seems made for the airlines - updates of 140 characters or less for posting a public message. Quick and easy.

There is a lot to wade through in terms of Twitter, and not all airline pages that are up are actually officially affiliated with the airline. When I first joined Twitter, and as I continue on it, I find myself constantly going through new pages and old, trying to find ones that are consistently updated and solid for information. The result of my efforts is my own top 10 airline pages on Twitter...

The evening of August 24, 2010, Henan Airlines flight 8387 enroute from Harbin, Heilongjiang, China to Yichun Lindu Airport was set to land. The flight was said to have operated normally, before attempting to land in reportedly foggy conditions when it crashed after overshooting the runway on landing, erupting in flames. Several dozen survivors of the 91 passengers and 5 crew were rescued in a crash that claimed the lives of 42 people.

Summary of the crash details - Henan Airlines 8387 - August 24, 2010 - 42 People Die, 54 Survivors

Note that there are conflicting numbers regarding the actual number of people who died in this crash - 41, 42 or 43 - I will update if the number changes once confirmed by Chinese authorities.
