Power Up and Away – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

There are places in the world nobody wants to be. Jail. Hospital. And stuck in an airport, which can feel like a combination of the previous two.

If you’ve ever sat for hours in an airport and cursed the fact that you can’t fly direct from New Orleans to where you want to go, so has Trey Fayard.

That’s why Trey started up New Orleans based GLO Airlines.

There’s an even worse circle of Hell you can find yourself in. Not only stuck in an airport, but now your phone’s dead. And there’s no place to charge it up. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a temporary plug-in battery that let you use your phone immediately and keep moving so you’re not tied to a wall outlet? You can do exactly that – thanks to New Orleans startup company Mobile Qubes.
