News and notes from around the interweb:

I came across this today. Is this actually true? Kerala has more luxury hotels than Maharashtra and Delhi? Seems odd, but maybe it's true? pic.twitter.com/PNOCyq3eCx

What exactly goes through your head when you board your flight, knowing your dog is just sitting there alone, and you may never see them again? “Oh, can’t wait to do tequila shots at the all-inclusive!”

A Spirit Airlines passenger once flushed their hamster down the toilet at BWI, because the airline wouldn’t transport it and she thought it would be more human than just abandoning it in winter.

Economy.

@united let me pay extra for a seat upgrade on my flight UAL1760 today. I sit in the seat, on a completely full flight, and find out that the entertainment system is not functional. Kinda bummed I paid for the upgrade and this is what I get for it. pic.twitter.com/QZSvC4kBBX

Premium economy.

⁦@united⁩ “premium” economy is not a broken tray table on a 9 hour flight that was known before boarding. pic.twitter.com/DEZdeVOOLU

Domestic first class.

. @united This is utterly unacceptable! Trapped mid-flight with a defective window shade and searing sunlight roasting me. Is this your definition of ‘friendly skies’? Shameful lapse in service quality. And this is a first class ticket too #Sunburnt #ServiceFail #unitedairlines pic.twitter.com/xQdWCMdDHq
