Great topic! Here's my travel thoughts:

If you travel for business, I think you should be able to pick one airline that you will not, under any circumstances, be forced to fly.

I think that SLC is the easiest airport through which I've ever made a connection.

If the person booking your corporate travel doesn't understand why having a 35 minute connection time at ORD is a problem, then *you* have a problem (lets just say I missed connections both ways on one trip at ORD because of this).

Ditto if they don't understand the problem with a trip that leaves from DCA, and returns to IAD.

If I never have to connect again at CDG, I'll die a happy man.

If they're offering reasonable compensation for a bump, and you've got the time, take it.

Driving from Denver to Steamboat Springs in the snow because your flight was cancelled sucks.

Having to put my change through the X-ray machine at JFK was just dumb--what sort of terror weapon can I hide in a single 5p coin?

Gatwick must be the largest airport I've ever seen--judging by the amount of walking I did to get to immigration, the gates must be someplace in Wales.

I could get spoiled with Delta's BE seating.

Nobody in my family seems to understand flying to ANC for 10 hours just for the mileage.

My parents knew I'd have the "travel bug" when I gave up a chance to go to Disneyland for my third birthday, and chose to go to LAX to watch planes take off and land.

take care,
Scott
