I fail to understand why this must be done at the airport and why it can't be an automated process tied to check-in or something.
I agree with you here!^

Might modify my plans the Friday of Footie Do - original plan was to get to PHL around lunchtime on Friday and then head north, staying in a Hyatt. Then I realized my ACY comps for Trump explicitly allowed Friday night stays, $70 in food, and a some nice match plays. Perhaps I'll make a side trip and then head north later Friday ...

Hadn't heard this rumor. I would imagine such a rumor would induce apoplexy in quite a few people.

Some idiot in the UA forum is asking about an appropriate level of compensation for a fuel stop...when he booked a BOS-LAX nonstop. He's asking for compensation despite that he removed himself from the flight and connected in IAD.

I suppose an appropriate level of compensation for a fuel stop would be, hmmm, impacting the ground not at LAX but somewhere in the high elevations of the Rockies. This is what we have to look forward to.

Oh, I know why I haven't eaten at Elevation Burger now. They have a big sign out there talking about how their stuff is all organic, which makes me :rolleyes:. I appreciate quality as much as the next guy, but saying something is organic so you can charge more for it when someone decided it would be cool to .......ize the word, "organic" to make it mean, "does not contain extra junk so we can charge more" except that it really means, "came from a once-living organism." :rolleyes:

But I'm not bitter. ;)

Indeed, but as long as he goes straight there from the airport he should be good to go. The rush leaving Center City on summer Fridays starts about 3:30, and the weekend after a holiday weekend (spoken from experience) is usually slow.

It makes me wonder if I should demand compensation for my diversion on the way to work this morning due to traffic.
