I want to preface this by saying that I usually fly three or four times a year and have never been on this airline before. I took a business trip from Tucson to Santa Barbara recently on US Airways. Arrived at the airport in plenty of time prior to the 8:15 AM departure. It was […]

Having cancelled a flight on Continental due to a military obligation in 2004, I was relieved to find that with a little pressing, Continental would grant me a full refund for use towards a future flight in 2007. That was the high point of the experience. Flying from Providence to Charleston, SC on Continental requires […]

On February 12th, 2009, me, my mother, and a good friend of hers traveled to Maui during the week that I have off from school. Although it was the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been to, I really didn’t think we were going to make it. We got to the airport at around 830am for […]
