The food I had on Zipair was actually pretty good. It's been awhile where I can say I enjoyed a meal on a plane lol.

Thanks. I'll double check the dates and consider this, assuming the situation improves and travel restrictions are lifted.
ahhh i thought you'd be doing a whole 4 months out there

lol i wish

The original plan was to go multiple times and multiple destinations. My employer said no to 4 - 6 months for a variety of reasons (use your imagination on this) but they were okay with short spurts of 2 week intervals and multiple destinations.

Original destinations: Istanbul, Grenoble, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, and Munich.
Now: (Thanks for nothing, Trump.)

Oh, I didn't realize there was a Zip Air Japan.

I was thinking of the original 4321zip air that AC absorbed into Jazz.

Not really asking for good food.. just edible and doesn't look like slop that got printed in a machine.

Arson at Story Cafe ... you guys like this place? A bit overpriced but cool spot for brunch and all.

3, 2, 1 ... countdown to guesses who was responsible?

I've been there quite a few times. Nice place to go for brunch but also a decent option for dinner dates because they sometimes have live music performing.

100% Badhobz (I'm only kidding)

I tried going there about three times and every time, they were fully booked or the entire restaurant was closed for a private event. Sad situation. I hope they recover and get back up and running ASAP and the police catch those who were responsible for committing this crime.

1000% not me, that place is overpriced and stupid. Given the proximity to costco why would anyone go there?
