My daughter has gotten precheck with either mom or dad or both every single flight she’s ever flown. Including to Paris as a 17yo with mom in May.Quote:

Some prechecks are more precheck than others?Quote:

Must be all that good airport karma I’m tossing out there in the SkyLounge.
Sounds like it's kind of random. I've never had my 13-17yos get pre check with me in 5+ years of traveling with it. Not sure what the criteria is but it's definitely not automatic. All of mine have originated in Seattle (at least outbound) so maybe it's just that SeaTac hates my family? Who knows. I asked Delta agent last time and they told me it was not automatic unless they were 12 or younger. Count your blessings if your family is getting it every time.
Wouldn't it be the airline that assigns precheck to family members of people with trusted traveler credentials, or to non-TT's for their return flights? The govt may issue the TT number but it's the airline who puts pre check on the boarding pass after you give the airline the TT number. So maybe the policy varies with the airline?
MSP's new G concourse (Delta) is pretty nice.
LGA is still a fetid shit hole.
For future reference, do taxis with shock absorbers cost extra?
Yep, don't be confused by the lipstick on that pig.Quote:

I’m sure flying Delta helped looking at all those poor SWA-stranded people and luggage on both ends of the ATL-DEN leg, but I’ve never in my life landed and come to baggage claim to have my luggage waiting for me there - ski bag and all. It’s always been at least a 35-45 minute wait.
Then this morning ahead of the storm they got us up and out and in the de-icing pad ahead of schedule while the delays kept piling up elsewhere.
Oh, and while completely unrelated, I was able to locate a premium SUV as my rental a week before Christmas when our ride bailed and everything was sold out (an Audi Q5 or equivalent) for way too much money through Enterprise, and when we arrived we were informed that none would be actually available for several hours but if we were willing to accept this new Toyota Highlander they’d be willing to knock the entire rental down to $275 for our troubles - I couldn’t grab the keys quick enough.
Kudos, DEN,
I must have missed the invite for beers. ;)
That’s the Feb trip. :yourock: Unless the Mags want to meet 8 kids and all my sisters and brothers in law while wrangling said kids.Quote:

Also, thanks for the pow days this week. It was so nice.
Fred's got some special gummy bears for the kiddos.
They’ll be just fine I’m sure.Quote:

And no, sorry, no single sisters.
I can’t believe you jinxed DIA by giving it props. I’d say see ya in Feb but you will obviously be rerouted to Des Moines.
I hear the corn is lovely that time of year at least.Quote:

I flew Delta DEN><ATL for Thanksgiving. It was seriously the best flight/travel experience I've had in years, both ways.Quote:

Oh yeah, you can sometimes get pretty reasonable flights direct to EGE from ATL. Done it a few times.

They were flown back later that night.
On our outbound leg to EWR, despite checking in 2 hours early, they simply forgot to load one of the ski bags. It sat in the same spot in the terminal for hours while the other bag got on fine.
Don't get me started on the 2 people working at half speed at EWR to bring ski bags and large items out. An hour of my life I'll never get back
Absolutely.Quote:

Now this is news you can use. Thanks!Quote:

Worst airport right now is the one in Alabama where a worker got killed after they were '"ingested" by a jet engine. Fuck.
While Delta tries to calm down the lounge access, they will at least be offering free Wi-Fi on all domestic flights beginning in February, which is nice.
A lot more blue screen surfing from 30,000ft.

Delta is the best, at least lately. I watched Death Proof and Godfather 2 to/from ATL on Delta flights. Hundreds of movies to choose from to watch on the seat back screens.
Headed to DFW>STL as we speak…..Will update on shittiness or lack thereof accordingly…..
Istanbul, great airport. Thru customs and passport control in minutes, vs 1h in Feb Francisco.
Helps that it's a new airport, built on a lot of empty land.

aand unless they've added a bunch, the connecting flights display boards are few.
Remember the posts here last summer where the check-in line was over a mile long? So, yeah, not so much I'd say.Quote:

Check in at Delta and the rental counter were stupid easy.
