Man, my air travel rungood sucks lately. My last 2 flights have been delayed for over 2 hours for maintenance issues and now, here we go again. Stopped the boarding process at group 4 so maintenance can have a look at the lav, lol. Not late yet, but **** me. This is after many years of rungood. I don’t think I ever had a delay of more than a few minutes until recently.

Headed to DC, anyone going to be at National Harbor today?

Edit: must have plunged the toilet quick, we’re back on track!

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

Send some of your rungood to my son, will you? Poor kid has all the runbad when he flies. He was ticketed to fly back to San Francisco via DFW Monday. Was told everything was a go despite the ice. When we dropped him off at the airport here, we advised him to avoid getting stuck in DFW at all costs. Never expected him to listen, but he did. After his flight out was boarded, then de-planed for a delay, he figured out he had missed his connecting flight and the next/last flight out of DFW was going to be tight. When his plane here re-boarded, he walked. Left his bag with a month's worth of clothes and some pics he had printed here for friends there in his bag.

Tuesday's flight canceled. Wednesday's flight canceled. Caught a flight Thursday via Charlotte rather than DFW. Missed the connection as they closed the doors prior to departure time and would not let him board, but he caught another a few hours later. His GF picked up his bag in SF on Wednesday, much to his relief. I can't understand why he was so unhappy to spend a few more days with us rather than her after being gone for only a month. LOL. He has sworn off anything other than non-stop flights!

I imagine so, but is that feasible from the Ames-land airport? I thought you mentioned once that you have to transfer or drive to a bigger airport to get anywhere.

Correct.

He wants us to make the tradeoffs; we want him to if it isn't too much. He flew into NOLA this trip, met a friend, and got here a couple of days later. His return trip from here would have been fine had DFW not been iced in for a few days.

Flying in and out of here is a PITA in some ways and more expensive than it "should" be, but it certainly is more convenient if a timely flight can be found. He's young and flexible. LOL

cheap airline fares are designed for the young and flexible
the difference in cost is paid in time
question is, what's your hourly rate?

I agree--right up to the very end.

At this point my hourly rate != what I am earning right now.

My hourly rate = what it would take to get me off my lazy ass to do something I probably don't want to do.

Those are very disparate rates.

it's about what you'd charge per hour to do that particular thing
and in the very very end i believe your lazy ass got desperate about the rate and did agree
punctuation aside

I was ticketed Sydney-DFW-Cincy. Ended up Sydney-Brisbane-LAX-Cincy with a travel total of a bit over 31 hours. Had some people on my LAX-CVG redeye that were trying to get to Minneapolis but all flights there were cancelled. Not sure how being in Cincinnati at 7AM really helped them get there.

Spent some of my 6hr layover in LAX at the bar next to a woman who had her flight to Austin cancelled and was waiting for Uber prices to drop. The airline paid for a room in Glendale (?) but the car ride was 1 hour and $80 (?) so she was drinking at the airport bar while watching for ride prices to come down. I walked away after a couple hours but last price I heard was $46.

Füchse Berlin - HC Motor - under 62,5 goals @ odds 1.92, Handball.

They set the line wrong imo., you should bet the under, right now! game starts in 12mins.

You will thank me later.

What is the easiest way to deal with amazon sending me a picture of a doorstep that isn't mine saying my package was delivered.

They have live chat support.

Just screenshot your own 2p2 post into it.

to show them you mean business, you might also add a couple of previous posts demonstrating how disgruntled you can get.

It's a phishing scam. They're trying to get you to divulge which doorstep is yours.

I had ordered a new laptop through amazon which was to be delivered, "signature required" by FedEx. Thankfully I was monitoring the shipment like an obsessive dweeb because they just left it on the porch in the rain
