Hello all,

Your team at Global Traveler is attending the NBTA conference in Los Angeles. At the conference, the newest and best business and first class seats will be on display – this will greatly aid me as I write our annual Business and First Class Survey, which is to appear in the September issue.

The opening kickoff party was held at the still-to-be-completed LA Live, and ended with a concert by Cyndi Lauper in the Nokia Theater. It was a great introduction to LA, the opening to the conference and it kept your Global Traveler bloggers – Kim Krol, Alex Young and Courtney Centeno – dancing in the aisles!

More to report next week!
