The summer travel season has begun…

(I wrote this during a vacation over Memorial Day…)

With Memorial Day upon us, the summer travel season has officially begun.

Witnessed today at the airport…

  • Traveler’s blocking pedestrian traffic flow
  • Traveler’s standing around with dazed looks on their faces
  • Traveler’s carrying too many bags, that were completely unwieldy

ORD in motion

The best thing I heard on the security announcements on one of my flights today?

We ask for your patience….

Hrm. That’s a new one. Especially considering you (the flight attendant or airline) haven’t done anything to warrant the need for my patience. What do you know is coming that I don’t?
