Lego Liberty Bell!

Lego Liberty Bell!! Need I say more? Heck no!

Flight Delayed 2 hours

And I’m not suprised. This flight is late 99% of the time.

So I walked down the terminal. This terminal is also the international terminal. Being that – I knew there had to be a McDonald’s somewhere. How else do we welcome people to America anyway? :D   While in line, I talked to a guy from France who had his flight to Paris delayed 3 hours. So what am I complaining about? :D

So – I’m parked on the floor near a power outlet. Chargin’ and Postin’!

To top it all off, my wife called me, and demanded a divorce over the phone because I didn’t invite her to stay at my parent’s house.

On the Tarmac!

My plane is an Airbus A319-111 Registration N904FR

There’s a Lufthansa A340 here too! :D

Posting from the slow security line

The TSA is slow.

On the way to the Airport

Click the “Read More” for a gallery of the pictures I took on the way from my house to Philadelphia International Airport.

Raul picked me up from my house where I left my car in the driveway. He drove me downtown on 2nd street. We saw North Philly, Northern Liberties, and Old City. Then we got on I-95, and went to the airport.

Rule 240: This could save your trip

Working for a travel agent, you learn a few tricks.

Bring the airline’s own Rule 240 policy with you to the airport. You can find this as a PDF file on any airline’s website as their “Contract of Carriage”
Frontier’s is here: http://www.frontierairlines.com/frontier/pdf/Contract_of_Carriage.pdf

Rule 240 is on page 58. Print that page!

For example: Delta
http://images.delta.com.edgesuite.net/delta/pdfs/contract_of_carriage_dom.pdf

Delta’s rule 240 is on page 47.

Rule 240 basically says that if the delay or cancellation was caused by the airline’s fault (equipment problems, scheduling problems, crew problems) then they must fly you on another airline to your destination.

This does not apply in the case of weather-related delays.

Thanks to the people who have donated!

Special thanks to those who have sponsored me some gas monies! :D every little bit helps.

I’m getting on the plane to Colorado tomorow - It’s Frontier flight 449 from PHL to DEN. It departs 6:10 PM from Philly. It is on time less than 1% of the time apparently. Today’s 449 is en route as I post this and delayed 17 minutes. Whee!

The Colorado trip will be used as a sort-of beta version of the trip. The distances between destinations are longer on the Colorado trip, so I will pull over at rest-stops more often to post up.
