Philly Airport: Popeye’s Sells Emotional Support Chicken


Making fun of the questionable practice of passengers taking dogs, cats, and other animals on flights, the airport restaurant sells a Louisiana-styled baked chicken with a therapeutic title.

The cost with a side of fries is about $10. With Philly airport’s frantic holiday crowds and uncertain schedule changes, the amount of emotional support could be helpful. You can take the fowl meal aboard or peck at it while waiting anxiously for your flight to be called.

Enjoy Las Vegas For Less Than $90 A Day? Nah! PDF Print E-mail


USA Today and GOBankingRates named 20 travel destinations you can visit for less than $100 daily. Others listed include Singapore, Madrid, Lisbon, Prague, Cancun, and Bali was the cheapest at $24. Las Vegas was #19 on the cheapo list.

The beancounters obviously haven’t been to Sin City lately. And why didn’t they include the expenses of getting there plus additional in-town costs? Round trip U.S. flights range from a cheap $200 and much higher. Also, the famed Vegas buffets now average $35 for breakfast or lunch, and $50 for dinner. Some bait ads quote hotel room rates at $99.99 per night. Then, all add the infamous daily resort fee, usually another $20 and more.

Show tickets are at least another $25 plus booze, food and tips. Finally, of course, there are the greedy Vegas casino bosses. Unless you spend your entire visit at local museums and sightseeing, expect to lose a modest average of $100 day playing the tables and/or slots. Of course, it’s possible you’ll win, but the odds always heavily favor Vegas.
