Plane Lavatory So Small You Can Only Wash One Hand at a Time, USB-C External Battery Deal & More
Headlines and deals from around the web:
- Ryanair’s (and American Airlines’) toilets on the new MAX 737 are so tiny passengers “can only wash one hand at a time.” They’ve also removed seat back pockets. Inconvenient for storing stuff, but great for reducing germs — those pockets rarely get cleaned. Upside for passengers? More overhead space.
- And speaking of airline toilets, ever wonder what happens when you flush on a plane?
- Via Slickdeals, Amazon has the Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD, 20100mAh Portable Charger for only $59.99 with code ANKERPD9. Having a big external battery is a godsend when traveling with multiple people — having one that can charge USB-C devices quickly even more so. This one is a particularly good deal (which is why I just bought one) because it comes with the 30W wall charger that will recharge the battery in 4 hours, usually you have to buy it separately. And because it’s sold by Anker, you don’t have to worry about a cheap knock off.
- England’s beautiful Lake District is scheduled to have passenger flights starting in June! This is great news as I still remember having to take multiple trains and buses to get there when I studied abroad.
- The history of wine in 442 free podcasts!
- Great news if you came close to hitting Hyatt status last year but didn’t quite make it. Hyatt is retroactively counting award nights in 2017 for status and threshold bonuses. Check your inbox or your Hyatt account.
