On the Road: Logan
Note to self: E1B. That’s the terminal and gate you want. No waiting, no lines, no nothing. Perfect. If you’re flying out of Logan E1 is where you want to come out of. Only 3 gates down there and they have their own security checkpoint!!!

On The Road: Ways to Avoid Flight Delays
Let’s face it: all the airlines suck now. When my grandfather was with the airlines things were different (I think). But, the worst thing that an airline can do isn’t to carve out an inch of your space every year (some day we’ll be rack mounted in the plane – are you a 1U, 2U or 4U box?). The worst thing they do is being late. Which in turn makes us late for jobs, or more painful to the ‘ole heartstrings late to get home to the family. Not that airline execs have heartstrings – look at how they treat their own unionized employees… Anyway, some of my own tips…

On the Road: Sun Country
OK folks. Let me tell you about something that I’ve never seen happen, ever in my travels. I’m taking a red eye from LAX on a Friday night, to Minneapolis. I’m on time for the flight, ready to go – but the flight isn’t there. No one at the gate. The airline desk is closed. Weird… Maybe Sun Country just sold me the ticket and I’m actually with a different airline. So call the Sun Country desk – at midnight on a Friday night – no answer. Weird. So call them again, this time an answer. But not good news. The flight was cancelled two days ago and Sun Country…

On the Road: Flying
Ever since 9-11, the airlines have gone to hell. Maybe it was actually before that. But flying just isn’t fun any more…

On the Road: Travels with Charlie
I travel a bit for work, and so a part of this blog is going to be dedicated to those travels. To start this off, I thought I’d cover a little of how I like to travel rather than little notes about where. So when I fly I like to be unencumbered with my bags. So I almost always check my bags. Then when I see people running up and down the isles trying to get their gargantuan bags crammed into little cubby holes I can laugh at them… Of course, this means I have to wait for my bag to come out on the carousel but that’s a small price to pay for…
