    Menus on Planes

    Good prices for short flights you are right on those types. Believe you said $500 for 3 1/2 hr flights which is what I have to take. Those are considerably more expensive for 2023 anyway. No matter as Amtrak doesnt have first class.

    Menus on Planes

    I guess I'm an exception. I fly first class always. In summer I travel from south Florida for my summer trip to Wyoming landing in Salt Lake City.

    40% off offer using points

    I have a roomette on Sept 15 from WAS to WPB. Thought I might get a decent price on a bedroom. They are available but still over 30,000 points.

    Airport delays, lost luggage, & flight cancellations (2022)

    Certainly lots of problems out there but I have been spared. 5 flights in the last month all went smooth. No TSA issues but I am TSA Precheck and first class most of the time. Ft Lauderdale, Dallas, Salt Lake City and Minnepolis RT. Only one more flight in September hoping to keep the good...

    California Zephyr discussion

    I took the CZ a few years ago westbound from Chicago to Emeryville in early March. Lots of snow in the mountains. I was in the last sleeper so great pictures and videos coming out of tunnels from back window. I too agree with Penny on the west direction.
