Boarding had just started so I waited until the Group 9 was called before I passed through gate control. The plane was packed, there was only two seats open. The seats were arranged in…
I had to be in Virginia for work this week, but due to the location, it would take me three segments to get there. The first segment was on an American Airlines ERJ-140, which I have reviewed before so I…
After indulging at the Air France Lounge and, to a lesser extent, the Executive Club, it was time for us to board the Air China 777-300 for our four hour flight to Panama. The flight arrived three hours late from Beijing. I was in no rush to…
We arrived at the airport about 45 minutes prior to boarding. The terminal was surprisingly busy for an early morning. Having checked in on the American Airlines’ app, I approached…
Boarding was scheduled to begin at 0748, a full 30 minutes prior to pushback. I thought I had more time to make it to the aircraft, but I guess not. 0748 means 0748, not 0800 or 0805. Imagine my surprise when…

I left the lounge a few minutes before boarding was scheduled to begin. As I approached the gate, there was not a line formed or any other passengers standing around. I approached the agent to ask …
I slept later than I would like for a flight at this time. This put me in a panic until I reached my seat on the plane. I had a few things working in my favor: 1) I could leave my car at the Marriott which reduced my time because…
