Highlights, lowlights, links, and a train wreck of an itinerary from London and across the colonies, from the Icon Index Symbol Twitter stream:
“Capacity discipline”: n. a profit-maximizing airline industry approach ensuring that, once flyers get fucked, they stay fucked #travel
Are riots in London anything like Los Angeles riots? Does anyone know any good electronics stores near Bloomsbury?
Heathrow Express TV: (1) “weather will be bitterly cold all week” followed immediately by (2) “here are some fun outdoorsy things to do in London”
Today’s connection through O’Hare brought to you by snow, cancellation, and fail.
10 minutes later, the agent trying to rebook me is still pecking away at the keyboard and making confused faces. That’s… good?
Guy next to me coughing and sneezing his lungs out. Patient 0 set to infect the whole plane. Parents with babies look particularly unamused.
Three screaming germ factory infants within a 5 seat radius (three!) plus Patient 0 in the seat over. Does the CDC know about this flight?
My favorite part of this morning’s 4 hour round trip to LAX, where my flight got canceled en route to the airport? Nothing.
There’s something impressive but kind of obnoxious in how efficiently Trip It juggles my delayed and rerouted flights. It’s borderline smug.
Proposed headline for Monday travel journalists: “Are You Flying to the East Coast? Kill Yourself.”
Charlotte doesn’t even serve alcohol Sunday mornings, so there’s not even THAT on this useless 6 hour DC to Charlotte @USAirways roundtrip.
