I think this sums all these tweets up:

A drink or three? At an airport? I'm not a fucking millionaire. Read more

Fun fact: The SkyBus MX hangar at CMH was formerly the Rockwell plant (and before that North American, Curtiss). The whole south end of the airport was once a bustling facility. Landmark Aviation, Eagle, Republic, and DSW now occupy the entire south end. Read more

The single best thing to know is other flights that are leaving after yours, on both the airline you are using, and other airlines as well. Almost every delayed or cancelled flight I have encountered was resolved in minutes because I was able to tell the agent exactly what flight(s) to book me on as an alternative. By… Read more

I can speak with experience about the business with flight delays suddenly going away. Not weather related though. Read more

Carry-on only is the smartest and best way to fly, hands down. Read more

The first Italian astronautress taking the first espresso machine to ISS... That's a juicier bit than makeup and fixing hair... What were those journalists thinking?? Read more

Complaining about free content on a blog you apparently have no interest in? Do you read books about stuff you don't like and complain you don't get anything out of it? Read more
