Default Winter Travelers, beware

For anyone who doesn't want to think about it right now, but knows he/she should, the travel industry is sending out panic attacks about booking flights early, as in NOW for Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. With fuel on the rise and no cap in sight, advance purchase tickets may save you a chunk of change.


Note: I am not a travel agent, airline professional, nor a featured performer in Cirque du Soleil.

Default flying

DD bought her ticket to England back in November. Due to flight changes, a two hour layover in Pennsylvania has turned into a 5 hour layover, stuck in the airport.

We could change it but of course, that would cost an additional $500.

I do understand that this gas increase is causing the airlines lots of problems here in the states.

I wonder what is going on outside the USA.

If I could get that Hawaii kid to pin down what his break will be. Why that's what I am planning on getting his brother for Christmas this year!

(Thanks for visiting. Now, drive to the airport and get your brother!)

Yup, they are trying to send out their jets w/a full load, so on our return trip from NC, they've already switched our layover time in Atlanta from 1 hr to 3 1/2.

Awesome. After the move, the only way I'll see my family is if I swim!
