There was a long line, even the elite line, so we were a little concerned that we might miss our flight, as we were told it was a half hour walk to our gate. We left the America West Club 65 minutes before our departure, and our flight was boarding when we arrived at the gate.

If I sent a check for $10 or $15 and a description of my item and when it was confiscated, do you think they might return it to me?
I got my 8 pack of AA alkaline batteries back afetr they were confiscated at no cost to me. If you search, you will find the story. It was posted around early 2003.
