Teen arrives at SFO, opens emergency door on tarmac and makes a break for it

Here is some of the best travel news and notes from around the Internet:

• A post I wrote over on Traveling Dad about the true value of miles and points – the ability to go to St. Louis or St. Lucia for (about) the same cost.
• A 17 year old boy was detained after opening an emergency exit door on the tarmac while waiting for his Copa flight to taxi to its gate at SFO.

• Apparently the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has not been super profitable for JP Morgan Chase (at least not yet).  We’ll see what happens when all those $450 annual fees come due again here in the next few weeks.
• After #leggingsgate, American has officially changed their dress code policy for non-rev passengers
• Is the trick to book close-in tickets on United dead now?
