On An Airplane Next To A Fat Guy

Please tell me it was while maintaining eye contact with you the entire time.

No. But when I realized what happened I looked over at him with an empty water bottle and he looked at me like “WTF are you going to do about it.”

So I took my bag and got on my flight.

I'm flying in and out of MCO 4 days before and 3 days after Christmas. Dreading it, as always.

Last year my kids and I took a cruise Dec 18th-24th and I needed to have them back in GSO mid day on Christmas to hand them off. No fucking way did I even think of trying my luck in that airport on Christmas eve. Drove 8.5 hours each way instead.

Flying out of MIA tomorrow and looking forward to the six mile walk from the rental car center

With the tram down, I keep telling myself my connections in MIA are my American Airlines Cares About My Health Workout Plan for the inevitable two mile walk I will have.

Fortunately, this week's trip has me going via DFW on the outbound and PHX on the return. And hooray for not being stuck in coach this week (and hopefully not next week when I'm on the 777 between Miami and JFK)

I hate MCO with the fire of 1,000 burning suns.

I have a trip out of MCO next month on my way to HNL. I'm really not looking forward to the 2 hour drive to MCO and then dealing with that TSA shitshow. But Alaska First Class was by far a hell of a lot cheaper out of MCO (and I need the AS flights as I switch over to Alaska MVP100K next year)
 
for this trip i actually flew into FLL, but my meetings on Wed were in MIA so had to leave from there. The walk did not disappoint. To get from the rental car center to precheck was a LONG walk past all the other checkpoints; then our gate was all the way back in the same direction. good times. but overall, one of my better MIA experiences. i did not see any live chickens.
 
I flew to MIA once and the walk from the gate to ground transportation and shuttle trip to the hotel were longer than the flight.

I probably would have missed my flight.

FLL is a quality little airport.
I used to fly TPA to FLL every other week. Was a great commuter trip

Isn’t that like a 4 hour drive?

yep.
Total time from my house to my FLL Office (door to door), including picking up rental car was about 4:15 to fly it. I'd buy SW Tickets about 3 mths out and get great fares. Cost was about the same as the 550 mile round trip (plus mileage in FLL). Productivity was so much more as i was only off line for the commute to/from airport
 
I moved to Orlando area a year ago, but end up back in Miami gardens every month for a few days in home office. Company preferred airport is Mia for some reason. I end up driving down on Sunday and back after work. I have a car to myself, can meander and don't worry about an uber when I'm there. So worth it to avoid the airports.

MIA is the one airport I absolutely avoid if possible, especially if I'm flying international. I have had so many awful experiences there that I will take a longer total flight time if I can connect through somewhere else.
