GeoBreeze Travel recently interviewed Ben Lipsey, head of Air France KLM Flying Blue. Meanwhile, Delta Airlines faces scrutiny over claims that employees were seen wearing pro-terrorist pins on their uniforms, despite company policy prohibiting political statements.

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt highlighted a little-known aspect of airline policies regarding the Contract of Carriage.
