Merger? Maybe that’s a bit of a dramatic and slightly inaccurate way to state it but it reads well in this era of airline consolidation, right?

After a brief holiday, Pan Am made it’s return to ABC two weeks ago. Inside sources said the series went under a bit of a a much needed face lift and it shows.

Get ready Philly! You deserve the nonstop inflight entertainment on RED (their inflight entertainment system)- including live channels BRAVO TV- that you can begin watching the moment you take your seat plus music, movies and that is only the beginning.

You must have heard of a recent Wall Street Journal Article written about a journalist flying from Rome to New York, with her mother in tow, who was “mistreated” by a flight attendant while the passenger suffered unbearable abdominal pain. Well, I’ve found more holes in her story than the Aloha 737 that had a depressurization over the Hawaiian Islands in 1988!

The days of Hollywood royalty passing through JFK and LAX surrounded by a flurry of glitz and glamour have sadly passed only to be replaced by tantrums and meltdowns and in many cases, humiliating, forced removal from flights. No publicity is bad publicity they say; except of course when it centers around Whitney Houston!

I almost did a cartwheel when Cristina Ricci announced on ABC’s “The View” that Pan AM had debuted in Sweden to the highest ratings ever. I knew I could count on my Swedish brethren! “Man berömmer för att bli berömd igen.”

We chose a sidewalk table and dined on an arugala and beet salad along with a country pate– delicious! Did I mention that Fergie does not care for pate? After my early dinner and two glasses of wine it was time to look for Fergie’s dinner.

Fergie and I have arrived in New York and are currently enjoying the most glorious morning in Central Park. Technically I am homeless and to tell you the truth, it puts a bit of a pit in my stomach; but I can’t tell you how much better it makes me feel to have Fergie with me…I am not alone.

Tomorrow I am trying something I’ve never done. I’m flying with Fergie to New York with no room reservations and absolutely no idea where I’ll be staying.

In my humble opinion, ABC’s Pan AM is one of the best shows on tv. I had my fears in the beginning that it may be more style over substance- not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think the only thing Whitney was tired of was being sober and she was most likely enticed to board the airplane as way to get to her next “fix”.

We want to know; if you could spend a day on the beach in Curacao, with anyone, who would that person be and what would you be drinking?

Kennedy is in town and he likes stewardesses: we’re going to a party.

On a flight from London to Rome, I had the very strange experience of sitting near an ill passenger that monopolized the crew’s time as well as generally disrupted the flight.

Shouldn’t it be a rule of Jetiquette to inform newbies of which seats are “off-limits”?

As I began stoking my hair with the brush, the lady behind me tapped my shoulder

Can’t wait to see how Bridget’s C.I.A. Storyline plays out. Not to mention further development for my favorite French whore Colette. Most importantly, Maggie, portrayed by Christina Ricci
