After making it off of the flight from Bangkok, I was thankful to be back in Singapore. While the visit was brief, I have always appreciated the hospitality I have received while visiting. There was a five minute walk to…
Jet lag kicked my butt after flying around the world and spending a couple of days in Bangkok. This meant that I eventually missed my flight to Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo. I arrived at the airport an hour…
After the shower at the NAA Dayroom, I made my way towards the gate. A short delay was announced so I grabbed a beer at the Yoshinoya in the terminal. As I left Yoshinoya, another delay was announced so I grabbed a…
I was running a little behind when I arrived at the Remote North parking at DFW. The lateness was compounded when the bus for my terminal left as I walked up to the main building. I needed to be at the terminal in less than…
I woke up at approximately 0600 for a 0815 departure from El Salvador. This is not usually a thing, but it quickly turns into one when the airport was 45 minutes away. I got freshened up, ordered an Uber, and…

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…
We spent a few uneventful days in Tampa, but now it was time to make our way to Fort Walton Beach via Atlanta. I arrived at the airport around 0345, nearly an hour prior to boarding. I had already checked in through…
