Just saw this video linked from the CO3407 thread...

I'm surprised the media didn't have a field day with this one!

I've thankfully never set foot on AirTran.

I flew AirTran SAN - ATL in business class. It was rather nice. But yeah, I wouldn't dare try a 717 in Y.

Tard family on monorail/tram at Orlando Airport as it reaches the landside terminal:

Momma Tard: "This is the end?"

Daddy Tard: "What about Disney World?"

Momma Tard: "How are we supposed to get there..? I thought the monorail went there..."

Lil Tard: "Well i'm not walking all the way there!"

This was before we even reached baggage claim. Cuz everyone knows you arrive at MCO, get off your plane, take the airport tram, and you're magically at Disney World. :rolleyes:

We've all asked stupid questions before (I am the queen of that!) so be nice. :)

I wouldn't fly any airline SAN-ATL in Y. Violates my "time of segment not confirmed in J/F" rule. No experience with AirTran or their 717s.

So, did I miss anything this week?

Whatever. I didn't do a second major in Classics for nothing. :p

The whole Airbi/Airbii thing drives me nuts. The plural of bus is not bi or bii. It's buses. The plural of Airbus should be Airbuses.

True, but this is more an example of "I've flown across the country and paid a fortune and have no idea where i am or how to get around because I did zero research" for which I have little sympathy.

Even without flyertalk, one can google and learn the basic of getting through an airport and travel and most certainly how to get to/from Disney World and it's relationship with MCO.

Jeebus - I hit the DBEQM thread over in the AA forum and I feel so bad for those people.. They have to wait 6-12 weeks for the miles to post.

Want to see some incredible EUA luck? Check out the upgrade standby list for CO1159, EWR-ATL, for today, Friday, May 15. :D It was F2 when I bought my ticket 3 weeks ago, and that upgrade happened about five days ago.

Yay for new doohickeys!

Can you tell that I have absolutely nothing to do until I leave for Paris on the 31st? No work, no school, no social obligations.

All the time in the world to watch a little doohickey fill up :)
