Most likely. Who knows the calculus the authorities use.
The fact that it was a trusted traveler who booked the
trip may have been relevant. As far as the agent giving an
okay, it's more likely that it was the agent's computer in
cahoots with the background checking computer.
Probably so; the computers talk to each other more than we realise. When
they come up with perks, they're doing good; when the flights are goofed
up, they're "stupid machines". (G)
The automatic clearance at Frankfurt wasn't working,
so I had to be processed manually, and the not-with-it
cop couldn't believe that I (an outlander) could have
entered the country legally by EasyPass, the German
equivalent of Global Entry (which is open only to
citizens of Germany, the US, and Hong Kong and who
possess a German clearance). The computerized gates
would certainly have known better. But stateside,
immigration AND customs together took 11 minutes
including 5 walking and about 5 standing in line.
Flying to visit kids, grand kids, even great grands? Right now flip
Sad or happy to say that I have friends with great grands,
and even one with a great great grand. But I have other
friends who are above 75 who fly every week for work.
Definatly a different circle than I move in.
Yes - I travel in circles upon circles. Some of my friends
would say of the echo, why bother with those people? And if
you knew them, you would likely say, why bother with them?
I detest the way flip-flops feel - once I was in Hawaii
and was coerced into buying a pair for $3 or so. Wore
them once and put them away forever more. They went into
a Goodwill bag recently.
I've not owned any in years, never was that enthused about them myself.
Worth suggesting. Just a light spray does the trick. There

I'm not certain, but perhaps it was the price.

I saw the husband later and may have mentioned the
possibility, but there were many more interesting
things to talk about.
Probably so, like any time you get together with someone you've not seen
in a while. At least the computer can help us stay in better contact--so
we don't forget all the little things we mean to talk about when
together. We can bring them up in an e-mail or whatever.
Or here, as the case may be.
I flew Spirit not long ago but was going to a
meeting with only a briefcase. It charges for
carryon as well as checked bags; also for seat
assignments. The inevitable happened - three
people were assigned to my seat in the end, and
that had to be sorted out by the cabin crew,
with all of us milling around the lav in the
back of the plane!
Remind me not to book a flight with them. They actually assigned you a
seat tho? Most of the airlines like that just have open "free for all" seating.
Who was it (one of you, perhaps) who told me that by the
stats, Allegiant is the one with the worst maintenance
and safety record? Spirit isn't stellar, either - what
struck me was the incompetency of the running and the
almost deliberate unfriendliness. And the sheepleness
of the customers.
experience. Will Soouthwest let you carry on peanuts now?
I don't know if any can or do have prohibitions
on food products carried aboard by passengers.
Which can be good or bad, depending on who you're sitting near.
