So I got the picture I forgot to get last time…one of me reclining in one of the rocking chairs on the concourse. They’re high-demand seating…I had to come by a second time because they were all taken earlier. My flight to Vegas will push back in about 45 minutes, so I better head on …

Our Nation’s Capital
I got into DC on-time, pretty much. This is my first time in Reagan National Airport — it’s crowded, but not too bad overall. I have about 20-30 minutes to myself, so I might try to get some lunch or something. The shuttle flight down here was mostly deserted — I would say there were …
NY Sprint
Hustled across the terminal to make my connection to DC. I’m on the plane now. The picture was taken while speed-walking from one end of the US Airways terminal to the other.
Fly free or bust!
The title is my motto for the 20 minutes that I am here in the Granite State. Adjacent to the gate where I deplaned, there was an arcade, in which I was going to take this picture. But somehow, I wound up booting my phone into its debug mode (i.e. ready to have a new …
In New York for a moment…
About 15 minutes or so until my flight to Manchester, NH boards. Nothing too special to report — things have gone pretty soothly so far. This will be my first time flying aboard a deHavilland Dash-8 — we’ll see how it goes.
Pittsburgh, Early in the Morning
My flight to Pittsburgh arrived about a half-hour early, so I have some extra time to write about the trip. I feared that I wouldn’t be able to sleep due to the presence of a very chatty woman (with a bullhorn for a voice) seated two rows ahead in the window seat. I would go …
Travel begins…
I’m currently sitting in the somewhat-decrepit US Airways terminal here at LAX, waiting for my flight. As usual, I overbudgeted somewhat on time to get to the airport, so I have a little time to kill. I think I’ll try to rustle up a light supplement to my dinner while I wait. Afterwards I think …
Another Day of Flight
That’s right…I’ll be doing another mileage run shortly. In my idle moments, I worked out a fare that will net me 7,052 EQM (elite qualifying miles) at a rate of just about $0.03/EQM. I’ll actually get some additional redeemable miles (RDM), as my status nets me a 25% bonus, and, subsequently, a rate of $0.024/RDM. …
A Fairly Routine Win
It feels strange to call a win “routine,” honestly. Not much to say about the Arsenal win over the Jam last night — for most of the game, the Arsenal held a lead, and never dug themselves a hole. Granted, the Bakersfield Jam are easily the league’s worst team, but they beat the Arsenal twice …
