This year will be my 4th consecutive 9/11 run. I have to be in NYC for a conference beginning on 12-Sep and instead of flying CLE-NYC direct I will fly:

CLE-MDW-CLE-EWR


As with my previous three 9/11 runs, I plan on giving out Godiva Chocolates (the 4-piece box) and a short note of appreciation to all FAs and flight crew members working the flights that I'm taking (record was 27 boxes in 2002 when I had 4 mainline segments on 9/11).

In contrast to previous years, my flights look fairly full.
Hopefully, it's because people are no longer afriad to fly on the worst date in the history of commercial aviation.
