I neglected to mention that I have 8-9 hours in Sydney on Saturday before the SYD-PER leg. Ostensibly, do something in city or more likely, find a bed somewhere. Looking forward to seeing an emotional support wallaby on a flight. Or emotional support drop bear.

As a frequent lurker of this thread, I want to thank whoever recommended Hard Eight BBQ in Dallas. Stopped there for lunch on my way to DFW and ate a ridiculous amount of delicious meat and sides. Now I'm slightly nauseous but utterly contented. Awesome recommendation, it was one of the highlights of my trip. The next question is how many times my flight back to SFO will be delayed due to air traffic restrictions caused by the apocalyptic smoke. (We're currently only delayed 30 minutes, but I'm skeptical we won't get booted further back in line.)

I got delayed once and landed at SFO late when the tram had shut down for maintenance. There was one bus for the rental car place and the person was on break for the first 30 min I was waiting. Someone hustled off the bus and got in line in front of me for the car. She asks at some point “what’s covered under the supplemental liability?”

the worst airports are the ones that involve inexplicable tasks, like toronto pearson where they send you on a 2km from gate to immigration when landing from the usa. or denver where the only way to your gate is that stupid train

Traveling to Paris with my girlfriend and she didn't finish packing last night, left work at 3, home at 3.30 and left for the airport at 4. We live on south beach and she needs to get to FTL during Friday rush hour traffic. Our international flight departs at 7.15, check in closes at 6.15 and her ETA if everything goes well is 6. *sigh* why is she like this. loving casual flyers and women.

I've seen this one before. When she doesn't show up at the gate and you board without her you get to find a new girlfriend in Paris.

I dated a French girl like this - I’m usually at least 2 hours early for flights, she insisted on strolling in at the last minute. We never would have gotten along long term.

I'm close enough to the airport that I am down to 55 minutes from getting out of bed to the gate, with a shower and coffee stop. It's glorious.

I did 90 minutes from bed in A2 to DTW on my trip home after Irma because I overslept. Had just barely enough time to gas up the rental, return it, and poo poo on the Sky Club. And then when I got back home the elevators and A/C were out (for a week and a few hours, respectively).

Usually I aim for 45 minutes before boarding since I have to check my equipment. My current record however was 8 minutes before boarding. I try to give myself a little more slack.

I end up going from like Norway to Singapore, so I end up having to pack clothes for two different seasons. Throw in Japan where you need various combinations of sport coats and suits and it's a bit much. If I were staying in the same season and just meeting with technical people then I could probably pull it off. psydude fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Nov 17, 2018 |

I like CDG cause I enjoyed the little walkways and like satellite terminal system they use and identifying the bus we needed to take was very easy to find. Didn't rent a car or anything.

So the crowne plaza neilly(?) in France is real nice. The rooms are ok but I got like 3 free drink vouchers and a bottle of wine sent to the room for some reason. They also included the minibar so that's pretty dope. Apparently it's near a hospital so they have arabs come in and stay there when they receive treatment and there were a bunch of pilots too. Flying out of ORLY into Marrakech now

If you don't miss at least 2 flights a year you're arriving too early. I often am still in Manhattan when I get the push notification that my flight is boarding.
