How come when a plane flys halfway around the world, it goes way up into the arctic and back then in a arc?

Nov-30-2009 Posted under Alaska Flights
Wouldnt it be faster and a shorter distance if it went in a straight line? When I was on a flight from New York to Beijing, the plane went way up into northern Canada through the northern tip of Alaska and through Russia and went back down south to Beijing. Why dont the planes just fly straight west in a shorter straight line instead of making a huge detour?

Checked Bag Fees w/connecting flights?

Nov-17-2009 Posted under Alaska Flights
So pretty much all the airlines are charging fees for checked bags. I have no complaint. My only issue is I have an upcoming round trip flight with one connection each way.

SEA->Orl (Delta and Delta)
Orl->Sea (northwest and Alaska)

They are all part of the same alliance. and I am actually a northwest elite member so I won’t need to pay for checked bag at that point. However, I don’t believe Delta or Alaska will waive the fees.

Just curious if you only need to pay checked baggage fee once? and in my case of the return flight where I start with Northwest, do I need to pay the baggage fee when I connect onto the Alaska plane?

Thanks

Obama to allow travel, money transfers to Cuba Will this effect the economy in a positive or negative way?

Nov-16-2009 Posted under Travel Money
I know that billions, if not trillions of dollars have been sent to Mexico and South America from illegal immigrants. And probably some of that money was sent to Cuba via another country. But isn’t this going to allow illegal Cuban aliens to send money directly to their relatives in Cuba? Therefor not spending the money here in the US. I don’t see how this will help the economy.

So will it be a positive or negative effect on our economy?
