Bizarre: China Eastern Fires Cabin Crew After Boyfriend Proposes During Flight
Last May (i.e. several months ago), a female China Eastern cabin crew member named Xiao Jiao was working a short, one-hour domestic flight from Xi’an to Yinchuan.
The cabin crew member’s boyfriend of four years was on board, and 30 minutes into the flight got down on one knee and proposed to her in front of the plane.
Well, Chinese media is reporting that China Eastern has recently fired the cabin crew member.

Cathay Pacific spells own name wrong on plane
An airline has had to send a plane back to the paint shop after the company’s name was spelled incorrectly on it.
Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific painted its name as “Cathay Paciic” on the side of the jet.
Eagle-eyed travellers spotted the mistake at Hong Kong International Airport and contacted the airline.

The best foliage train trips to take this year
Going to see the autumn foliage (in the US or elsewhere) is definitely on my bucket list at some point, and after looking at some of these pictures, I’m you can understand why. But this approach actually wasn’t one I’d considered previously.
If you’d like to actually enjoy the views, instead of squinting at Google Maps in the driver’s seat, taking a foliage train trip could be the perfect solution.
