Unfortunately government contractors won't be shutting down, so I'll still have to work.

The 3 pm departure isn't so bad unless you're trying to do work stuff in your office that day. The horrible aspect is the 6 am arrival into AMS or CDG if you're not connecting onward. You're likely to be homeless in the city for many hours before being able to get into your hotel room.

Amusing now, but wasn't at the time. Half hour late leaving Atlanta yesterday, but not directly the weather. Catering truck malfunctioned trying to load rear coach cabin supplies, blocking us in. Captain and crew wanted to waive the stuff for the 90 minute RSW run, but couldn't communicate directly to call it off.
First galley had ice, so a mimosa helped make up for the delay.

Baggage Q that does not warrant its own thread: I want to book an economy ticket TPE -> PHL. Cheapest routing is TPE -> ICN on KE, ICN -> ATL and ATL -> PHL on DL. Delta charges a $150 bike fee. Since baggage check-in is with KE (who does not charge bike fees), would I have to pay any bike fees for that flight? Or will the KE counter realize most/some/any of the the flight is on DL and apply DL baggage fees?

If they'd shut down next month, the SO would get a paid vacation, though no idea when the check would come in. Because it was this month, he has to work with minimal staffing until things go back to normal. Don't know when the check will come in for that, either - somehow that's more acceptable when you *aren't* working than when you are. So it goes...

Mr. Kipper is considered essential, so he's at work. That said, his specific area isn't affected by this due to the nature of their funding.
