I mentioned I'd be +1, right? -sigh-

We're all over the map here. YUL, MSY, ACY. Let's see where this ends up...

By the way, random question for the box - has anyone in here been on the locked side of a jail cell? I have. Wasn't incarcerated however. But still very crazy.

I knew that was coming. I thought about bringing the DSLR to work today, but that's just begging for trouble.

Yes, in Alcatraz. Also once volunteered to be extricated from a wrecked car for EMT practice.

Yes. I spent a few hours in the drunk tank once. :o

So I'm finally booking my Thanksgiving tix and am surprised that I can find seats for <$400. Sadly AAll traAAvel is on AAn AAnoying AAirline, but what can I do. Sadly I cannot get two seats on the same routing at reasonable prices; everything seems to have a 1 in the inventory somewhere on the system. My options are to get to have a 4 hour spread between departure times on the return flights, meaning someone would have to sit in the airport for 4 hours waiting to leave, a one hour spread on the departure times with a 40 minute connection at ORD the evening of Thanksgiving Sunday or paying ~$300 more.

What would you do?

And, no, shooting the hostage is not a valid answer, though I do feel like shooting myself after dealing with this all morning.

I chose YXE (Saskatoon) for Thanksgiving, because everywhere else was running ~$400 as well, and I figured I might as well go visit somewhere out of the ordinary for the same price. The dismal climate should enhance my incentive to stay indoors and study for finals. HNL last year before finals was torture (I know, cry me a river...)

Of course it's not a valid AAnswer because it sounds like you're the one being held hostAAge. :D

Me personAAlly, I would book AAnything that works and teAAch your in-laws the finer points of the bump gAAme.

ETA: I would avoid that AAirline, but that doesn't sound like an option.

I would do anything other than the 40 minute connection.

I'm having difficulty resisting the urge to pull the trigger on a cheap SAT-PTY fare. What can one do with 24 hours on the ground in PTY?

A quick check of News on teh Googles reveals nothing. Double flameout would be press-worthy if true, one would think.

Just curious but how much $ have you spent on airfare this past year? Since Im asking Ill tell first. All out of pocket has been just under $4k

ETA: This does not include about $1k in vouchers I received the previous year.

Cheers

Yeah one would think, but it did land in the middle of the night. I believe the last CO emergency landing (the one with foam and all that) was during the afternoon.
