I wasn't even aware they still had port; it used to be offered with the cheese plate before from the cart, but seems to be missing for a while. So they still actually have it?
Cheese: a nice blue cheese would be awesome. Used to be the norm, but I haven't seen blue cheese on the platter for a while now....and that's not trivial!

The port are mini bottles and are usually loaded on the cart.

This is indeed trivial...
Go to search a multi-city trip - select some date a few months out as your first departure, the second (and subsequent) calendar selections will start with the current month. Should be a smart default on the calendar of at least the same month as the first one entreated, in the screen grab below it should default to March as the first month. I don't think the system would let me book something that goes back in time (except the Island Hopper? LOL!).

I could go on ad nauseam about the sensibilities of southern Californians and weather. But I'll spare y'all. I'll only just add that as a resident of southern California this does not constitute a trivial gripe for me!

Do you know what really gets my goat, when they make some sort of schedule change, maybe a change of city, and I download the receipt: it no longer shows the PQP per segment or, worse, aggregates them. Hmmm. I have a spreadsheet to update. Wars have been started in Europe for less.

To help those not familiar with southern california -- rain is like the "first snow" of the year in north when everyone has to relearn how to drive... It's truly hazardous to be on the roads lol... After months of little to no precipitation -- just a little rain can make roads like a skating rink...

I was pleasantly surprised that when in LA last weekend, people actually seemed to handle the rain like sane people. Then again, it's the winter, so LA drivers expect some rain this time of year. FL drivers have zero excuse for the left lane sluggery.
We did see some closures in LA due to rain, though.

Except when the December fog rolls in on the northern Gulf Coast and everyone’s going 20 under the limit. And then your flight gets diverted to some place like Dothan, Alabama because said fog has made for unsafe landing conditions along the coast and then things can get a bit weird in terms of getting you to your scheduled destination.

Never mind floods, mud slides, and fires.
