fortunate that there was an empty seat in the exit row. that almost never happens.

There was an empty seat in comfort plus on my first flight this morning. Maybe not as rare as empty exit row seat, but also pretty rare.

I got assigned an exit row at the gate last week. I hadn’t sat in the exit row in years. I had to remind myself to stretch out my legs.

yeah and sometimes I won't request the C+ upgrade if I get one of them exit row seats with no seat in front of it.

I am in a regular seat right now on a delta flight. No good.

All my status is through American......

I don't remember the last time I wasn't in first, C+ or exit row, but I am stuck in the back of the plane on Sunday (aisle at least) back from Steamboat. Nothing left in first or C+ when I booked and only showing about 6 seats left on the plane in main cabin. Asked in the SkyClub on the way out if there was anything they could do and the agent basically just laughed at me. Note to self: when there's only one flight per day, book early or fly on off days.

Or don't fly in and out of ski resorts at the height of the season.

this is obviously the right answer. Go to Steamboat in June.

Great snow conditions in June.

Deep discounts on ski rentals too.

I’ve been to Steamboat in the summer and the ski shops aren’t even open.

But it’s a great time to go hiking.

who cares, cheap fares

deacdiggler · Feb 28, 2020

if you really want to ski on your june trip, fly into steamboat for the cheap airfare, then rent a car and drive to A-basin.

Got moved to an exit row by a sympathetic flight attendant who saw that I was smushed between two monstrously fat women on my last flight. I'm 6'3 and 220. Was going to be a painful flight.

This story had great potential but you totally ruined it.

For all you world travelling beer lovers, if you are in London at the end of next week and have the weekend off, take the train up to Lancaster, my friend is running his annual charity beer festival. They typically have 50+ UK breweries represented.

Any of you road warriors dialing back in light of Coronavirus? I don't travel much (about quarterly) and it looks like we're moving towards reducing travel for the time being in light of what's going on.

Well, it pretty much goes without saying that my Feb. trip to Beijing was cancelled.... Not sure when I will get to go over.

WhatUTalkinBout Willis · Feb 29, 2020

Meeting about that this coming week. Need to determine appropriate thresholds for this, mandatory work from home, etc.

deacdiggler · Feb 29, 2020

i'm not going out of my way to get to the west coast, that's for sure

Was in airplanes to California 2 weeks ago and Colorado last week. Definitely did even more handwashing than usual. Next scheduled business travel is San Diego at the end of March, hopefully thing will be under control by then.

Speaking of the OT, i had a whole row to myself on the flight back from Vail Saturday, but there was a person on the plane who legit must have weighed close to 4 bills. S/he could barely walk - which was bad because we deplaned onto the tarmac. Had a wheelchair coming to get them but the wheelchair guy was up in the jetbridge so not much help. I did not stick around to see how it turned out.
