Sounds like CLE at off-peak hours, like 10:45 am. I recently made it from curbside to P Club in six minutes - dropoff at the departure entrance directly in front of security, OLCI boarding pass, and one person ahead of me in elite security line, and brisk walk up the concourse. Did the same thing in the same amount of time at DCA the other day.

All well and good but it is clear that you were dropped off at the door. MBM3 is talking about parking his car at ERI and getting to the gate in that kind of time.

When I lived in the Delaware Valley and there was an Allegheny Commuter at TTN, it was the same sort of experience that MBM3 was talking about. As a matter of fact, UA tried mainline jet service to ORD from there for a very short time in the early 80s but I never did get a chance to use that one.

:rolleyes:

Add two minutes to my time, and you can do the same at CLE and DCA if you park in the right location.

Actually, make that one minute for DCA.

He glared at me and said "whatchyadoin" and I said "trying to get comfortable, but you're making it rather difficult."

:rolleyes:

In any event if you find yourself in a similar situation in the future and don't mind talking to someone, you can tell them that the aisle armrests are movable (there are a few exceptions) via a hidden latch (usually between the seat cushion and the armrest) so they can raise that for comfort and keep your down.

That's balmy.;) I had to break out the Michelin-man looking down coat and a HAT this morning. Windchill had it -10 earlier. ALCO, have fun skiing in BTV.:D

I need 59,537 more miles to make Platinum Elite this year. :( :D

LOL, this reminded me of a flight I had a few months back when I put my isle armrest up and people looked at me then down at theirs and tried to move it up to which they couldn’t make it work...I was entertained by this so I would casually put mine down and then back up and each time they would wrestle with theirs. If they would have just asked me I would have told them how to move it but they were scared. At the end of the flight someone finally asked me how I got my armrest up and I told them.:D

I got an email about an hour ago for a EUA. It surprised me because I had somewhat forgotten that I had the flight booked. :eek:

On the plus side, 5-day EUA to ATL this Saturday.

Oh, and I should be booking my DO flights as soon as my TCV credit comes through. ^

I was watching CNN at 05:30am in the MSY CRC this morning. They reported wind-chill of -18 in BTV. I'll likely have a Cajunsicle on my hands in a few weeks. :D

Adherents to the ancient mystery-cult of PUCCI GALORE, who appears to have supplanted Isis as mystery-cult goddess of choice since the fall of the Roman Empire.

I've had to do that sitting in the aisle seat once because the middle seat person was much larger than me. About 25% of me was hanging off the seat into the aisle for comfort reasons. She was far from obnoxious about it. She knew how to do the over under thing properly.

I was doing that last week. Only way I can get to my phone sometimes and /or plug in the headphones into the arm rest. The look on peoples faces are priceless when they actually see one raised since they think they are fixed. Ok I thought they were locked down for the longest time but the hinge was also they hint they weren't.
