Holiday Cheer — At the Airport?!?

Posted by Trippp on December 28, 2007 in Travel

Like so many consultants, I spend a good 2-5 hours in the airports each week. Tack on the holiday rush, holiday weather, crabby kids all around you, delays…well, you get the picture, it can really bring a person to their knees. For example last week when pushing out from the gate, the ground was so icy, that it took an extra hour to get enough trucks around and people to pack sand under the tires of the trucks just to get us away from the gate. I mean, it’s an airport, you would think that they would have heated areas so that the gate area would stay ice free. Little things like that can push you over the edge if you let them. But don’t you let them!

Southwest Airlines, The Business Airline Of Choice?

I will be the first to admit it…I used to be a pawn in United Airlines game. I just grew so sick of it. The employees are miserable, they never smile, it takes them forever to turn around an airplane, they consistently put me in the back with no leg room, 80% of the fliers of status (and are quite rude as well), they do not enforce their boarding rules, and on and on…
