I did try to increase the percentages this year, but flying CLE - FWA did not seem to go over so well in the homestead. :D

I wonder if they have cart dudes in DEN, I'd love to not have to traverse that even though there are moving walkways.

Don't stress it. Take a deep breath and let things happen as they may.

As a fellow widebody, I feel free to say this - I have visions of the Pomplona "Running of the Bulls" being recreated in DEN this evening. :D

Yeah - I've been to Pamplona during the running of the bulls -- no runnin' for me, though -- just spectating!;)

The main reason people are saying for not using air travel is the hassle. Last year it was nice and quiet but the WX delays at EWR on the Sunday after I'm sure sits in some peoples minds. I arrived around 2 AM and the place was a mess. The lines for the taxis was unbelieavable and I had to wait for the third parking shuttle bus to squeeze on board as they were filling up at Terminal A w/ US people judging by the luggage tags.

Perhaps for IRS purposes ;). He has probably visited more lounges than myself. I tend to repeat the same lounges. Although I do spend a good amount of time in the Priority Pass Lounge of the year, E - PC at IAH!
