    Show your disdain for the airline industry. Drive instead. "course many of those drivers will be engaged in road rage incidents ( That’s just their nature )

    Airports still have phones in them? I would have thought those had gone the way of the pay-phone.

    I’ve been using the joke phrase “discourtesy phone” for decades now.

    There should be two more discourtesy phones and then the ham phone (sic Airplane!).

    He’s in LA and has to go back home to Buffalo and he knows that winter is coming. The only bad thing about vacations is that they invariably end when you don’t want them to.

    If you want to travel in comfort and style, take the bus. At one time it bus travel was seen as a poor man’s travel option. Now the seats are more comfortable and even the terminals are better than some “cattle calls” at the airports.

    For example, Charlotte has one terminal with 10 gates and about 200 seats. Do the math.

    United is threatening to leave JFK unless it gets more flights. So I guess to them NO flights is better??

    You could take Amtrak and change a six-hour (including screening) trip into 40 hours.

    Is that cord there to keep people from stealing the phone? Where’s the screen?

    Phones would have been preferable to the single person stationed at the airline’s ‘courtesy’ desk of yore (before cell phones). I flew for business all over the country and had to fly different airlines depending on my destination. Going coast to coast, I had to catch connecting flights and one airline in particular (which shall remain nameless) was particularly bad about having flight delays or flight cancellations. As we approached Denver (or Chicago), the captain would announce the gates for various flights and sometimes we would be told to check the courtesy desk for all other flights. The courtesy desk was at the other end of the terminal and there was always just one attendant on duty rescheduling flights for dozens of passengers. At least after cell phones came into being, I could stand in line and call to get my flight change.

    I will put in a plug for Icelandair. Flying from Sweden to Iceland in 2018, our flight was held up for several hours because of a bad thunderstorm. We were worried because we had only a couple of hours to make the connecting flight back to the States. Before we landed, the steward announced that people with our connecting flight should proceed directly to Room 1. We went there and they already had our flights rescheduled for the next day [including our connecting flights in the States], rooms for the night, and vouchers for three meals [not the $5 limit kind] and a taxi. We had a delightful afternoon and evening in Reykjavik and flew out the next day.

    I’m waiting for the “Airline aDmits Their Mistake” courtesy phone.

    Haven’t flown since 2014—broke my leg and they put a steel rod in it.Worried I’ll set off the detectors—-especvially since they detect a safety pin in your inside pocket.

    But Amtrak from Boston to Washington corridor a comfortable alternative.I used to take the Trump Shuttle to Boston.

    Will I still get into heaven?

    At SFO, they would always announce, “Mr. Smith to a white courtesy phone, Mr. Smith to a white courtesy phone, please.” How did they know Mr. Smith was white?

    The comments about trains merely illustrates how we are becoming a $h1thole country as we can’t seem to do what most European and Asian countries can do with fast, efficient and comfortable high speed rail. I was stationed in Germany and never owned a car. Used the train to see every place I wanted to see in any country. Most trips on long weekends.
