TBH, I don’t think 3 days of clothes and toiletries is very hard to fit in a backpack.  

I agree with the sentiment of this article. F all the airlines, in fact.

with any online credit card purchase, there is a 24 hr “oops fuckit”clause that allows you to cancel and get your money back (for basically any transaction)  at a minimum I would have called the cc company and disputed the charge.

Yep. Southwest with early bird check in is the way to go.

Plus, the old “cattle call” complaint is no longer valid. For average passengers, the Big Three have more of a cattle call, because everyone is doing the gate-cluster in desperation to have overhead space for their bag. Southwest, every person is assigned a number, and that’s where you stand, calmly to await boarding,…

Heck, I missed a flight on SW due to a accident-caused traffic jam, and SW put me on another flight for free.  

He so pretty.

I know this is off topic, but the term ‘basic bitch’ is really grinding my gears. Calling someone a ‘Basic bitch’ is just another way to belittle women. You like pumpkin spice lattes? Basic bitch. You like wearing leggings? Basic bitch. You like... I dunno... something a lot of other women like? Basic bitch. I don’t…

I feel like “if there is a God” is a fairly limiting condition to put on Harry playing Prince Eric.

Fortunately we already have Chris Pine doing Prince Charming:

Chris Pine is way too old for Halle Bailey.  Ew.

Southwest flies direct to dallas from both National and BWI. And ordering by 3 weeks, you can usually get cheap seats.

That. Part.

Generally speaking, more options and more competition are a good thing. I don’t think anyone is really suggesting we replace our roads and airports with 100% rail travel - but if you look at say, Europe or Japan, having that extra option is extremely convenient. Trips like the one described in the article are exactly…

She did. He did know. He just didn't pay attention.

It did. And places like Kansas City had light rail networks.

The problem (as is so often the case with capitalism) is that the original “checks on power” of the railroad industry weren’t to compete and offer a better service. These companies Facebook’d it; they touted the “freedom” of their service, bought their competition, squeezed the life from it until it was nothing, and…

Southwest don’t do this regardless of the ticket level you bought. But they also don’t charge you to carry on, or check luggage, or use the bathroom...

Came here just to say that. The fact that US has no real high speed rail and no plans to make high speed rail a reality is a travesty. And any time a politician brings it up, Republicans flip their shit and laugh.

So wait, you lose all that money? Like, you can’t even apply it to a future flight? And this is somehow legal?
