SAS had incredibly good food!<br /><br />Not sure if I ever had a "favorite" domestic airline, but I went United a lot, and wound up dating a flight attendant that I met on one of my numerous flights out of O'Hare, where she was based.<br /><br />Then we found Jet America, who flew into Long Beach airport, and switched to that at my office.<br /><br />Long Beach airport is a real gem of an airport. Too bad the flights originating there don't go to very many places. We can get flights to Denver, but you have to change planes in Salt Lake City, and if the weather is bad, you can miss your connecting flight.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-16659896866580693772017-03-25T20:09:34.125-07:002017-03-25T20:09:34.125-07:00Yeah, I'm a bit mystified that they said he wa...Yeah, I'm a bit mystified that they said he was spending "troo much time" showing the work on the cars.<br /><br />That's why we watch the show!<br /><br />Gas Monkey Garage is "Fast 'N Loud", which I also enjoy.<br /><br />I used to watch "Graveyard Carz", but the shop owner, Mark Worman, really gets on my nerves....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-70348501868983636362017-03-25T20:07:45.834-07:002017-03-25T20:07:45.834-07:00I was on the Iowa all day, so Sunday I'll be s...I was on the Iowa all day, so Sunday I'll be scouring the real estate listings.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-32899826989701222602017-03-25T08:42:45.230-07:002017-03-25T08:42:45.230-07:00Edd China was the only reason for watching that sh...Edd China was the only reason for watching that show, and has taught me a number of tips & tricks. I only hope that, wherever he lands, we're able to see him. Meanwhile, you've reinforced my belief in sticking with the airline we know. There are others available, here, although not as many as in the Lower 48 (Alaskans don't know what to do with Hawaii beyond visiting there - heh). But at least our checked bags are free.Rev.

Frontier has gone BK several times. As to stuffing their cargo compartments, that isn't happening at DIA. I'm at the air freight facility three days a week and rarely see anything at their dock. Alaska Airlines seems to get most of the freight going West. Air General handles Alaska's freight biz along with Delta and American. The stuff I pickup goes out on Delta. <br /><br />RE grandson.
