https://thepointsguy.com/news/global-entry-facial-recognition/ https://thepointsguy.com/news/global-entry-paperless/ We just got our GE this winter. We haven't traveled yet to try it out. We mostly wanted Pre-Check, but the GE wasn't that much more and we may use it in the coming years so why...

When we went to Ocean City in January, we found the bakery in Rehoboth Beach was closed for a month or two for the holidays. I was planning on bringing a case home with us, but couldn't 😢

Thanks for the wayback link! Now I wonder why it was deleted…

Link says not found? When I navigate to Passenger, Intercity, I don’t seem to see it either. Just me?

I am guessing if one searches on combinations of ADS-B Satellite Space Based North Atlantic one will find reading material on this. As far as tracking goes, the US ADS-B ground based tracking plus radar coverage is quite good? I know there have been search and rescue usage of ADS-B to track...

That derailment could be a very sticky situation!

The idea for the trip was to find a way to avoid shipping it across the country with UPS/USPS/Fedex/whatever, and get a fun train ride in at the same time. I see the consensus is this is not that great of an idea and will annoy fellow passengers and SCAs and risk being denied boarding. :(...

New checked baggage question not covered in the eight pages of posts so far as I can tell. Suppose one is leaving from a non-checked baggage station on a LD (CZ westbound). One layover in SAC +9Hrs and then on CS to SEA, a checked bag station. Roomette or bedroom, no coach. All Superliner so...

MARC Rider said: That's why they need to prevent people from passing between cars, just like they do on the New York Subway. (See the recent stuff about "subway surfing," although Amtrak is different, as there's no way to access the outside of the train car from the passageways between the...

One wonders if the way the dynamic brakes were applied had an effect on the way the derailment happend ...

I disagree on the admiration of the 787. It was the most uncomfortable, hot, cramped, airless ride I have ever had on a commercial aircraft. In the economy section, the 17.3" of width in 3-3-3 economy seating pretty much made it so I had to interlock shoulders with my wife and daughter. I...

The bears sound like a trespasser incident to me. 😀

Is the glass door separation really progress? I see it as mostly masking the problem. Won‘t the stench be even more concentrated when you do need to go use the toilet…, or move between cars… Sometimes our kids would leave out dirty dishes, then ants would come. Instead of picking up the...

Did this head down the Northeast Corridor, next to the Delaware River, Camden area, then to Atlantic City. Or did there used to be a way down the North Jersey Coast line down the coast most of the way?

I don’t fly to towered airports very often. When I do, usually you get things like Left on alpha, right on kilo, hold short 31 left type thing, the hold short is usually for the runway. It is probably normal since KJFK are so busy to have hold short for the other taxiway, but I don’t know if...

Taxiway J at KJFK is supposed to have those special automated REL Runway Entrance Lights that are supposed to help stop this from happening. They are only at select airports. Runway 4L isn't supposed to have THL Takeoff Hold Lights though, too bad as they seemed to be paying attention...

Just because ATC clears you as filed is no guarantee that is what you will be flying. Clearances in busy airspace (Northeast, CA, Dallas, Florida etc.) will likely be amended as you are going along. In the midwest it can be common to file direct and get cleared as filed and actually be able to...

For an example of what Temporary means to DC bureaucrats, there has been a Temporary Flight Restriction over Disneyworld and Disneyland for over 20 years… and counting…

What is the aquaculture? going on in Can Rahn Bay? It looks amazing on satellite view.

Preference to a same or larger room with a wet bath. I had to use urban dictionary to look up what dry bath really means (some kind of Canadian term, haha). If taking a shower on a train, and I prefer to take a shower everyday, preference to having our own shower. If not overnight, roomette or...
