GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 For what it's worth ABE airport is a super nice and convenient airport but their flights are often cancelled and delayed. For instance the ABE to OHare 6am flight this morning was delayed 2.5 hours. If we would have taken that plane we would have missed the connection in Chicago and then would have had to fly to Denver and then JH Charlotte has a pretty nice airport. Not an airport skiers would go through. Maybe if starting in Allentown. Toast mentioned direct flights. I refuse to connect if there are direct flights available so when going to Denver will always fly direct same with Vegas. Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Isn't it usually more expensive, too. And I feel like they don't have as many choices and not many direct flights. I would definitely use that airport if it was better. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 11" new at JHMR in the last 24 hours and 4" expected in next 24 hours. Should be alright tomorrow. 340" so far this season. 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 SLC airport kinda blows, easy to navigate and never crowded but the beer sucks and so does the food. Maybe Ive just spent too much time there. I never buy food at the airport, unless they have like a Duncan Donuts. Hard to screw up a bagel and their coffee is good. Quote

I would definitely use that airport if it was better. Not always more expensive at ABE..it's the convenience of it that's better. You can likely have a friend or family member drop you off at ABE or uber or taxi there where Newark and Philly looking at $100 for a week of parking. Pros and cons. Haven't had to buy food at Chicago airport. Had sausage and eggs in the lounge..looks like 2 hours and 42 minutes of air time. 16 degrees and light snow for JH. Quote
theprogram4 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 at least in SLC you can smoke after the security checkpoint. don't know of any airports other than maybe phoenix where you can do that. surprising cause its Utah Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Charlotte has a pretty nice airport.The food and ambiance at Charlotte are A+ SLC airport kinda blows, easy to navigate and never crowded but the beer sucks and so does the food. Maybe Ive just spent too much time there. I never buy food at the airport, unless they have like a Duncan Donuts. Hard to screw up a bagel and their coffee is good. I like SLC because it's small and has killer views. I don't think I've ever eaten there. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 TP4 I know LAX has an open air smoking lounge in the airport. How do smokers who smoke every half hour survive a flight. Maybe chewing tobacco and nicotine gum. Quote
skifreak Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 How do smokers who smoke every half hour survive a flight. Maybe chewing tobacco and nicotine gum. My uncle who smokes like a chimney went to Seattle with his girlfriend to visit her family 2 years ago. I bet he was shaking and chewing on cigarettes the whole way. Probably contemplated tampering with the smoke alarm in the bathroom a few times too. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Sitting in first class on philly to Chicago flight sipping on some apple juice. Been up since 210am. philly airport so much better than Newark. 1st class rocks.So Trumpy. See if you can finally earn your Mile High Club wings this time around! Just had eggs and sausage in the United club yummy. Fancy!!! Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Not always more expensive at ABE..it's the convenience of it that's better. I'm a fan of convenience. I will always pay for convenience. i believe that my time is always worth something. I live 20 minutes from PHL. I see no reason to look for airfare anywhere else. A flight out of Newark would have to be almost free for me to consider doing all the dumb shit i would have to do to get to Newark. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 Landed. I think this is the earliest arrival at 11:16am mountain time. Some philly people fly out of Baltimore. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 Made it from plane to hotel room in like 45 minutes..was greeted with a mimosa by chamber of commerce volunteers in baggage claim..had bags in five minutes and $35 taxi to the 49er. In room now gonna hit up the brewery..Atomic Jeff was lucky enough to be upgraded to first so had a second breakfast and I had a cookie on plane and am hungry and thirsty. JADIP. A lot of snow in town don't thing there's been this much since 2012. I got a few pictures upon landing. 5 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 They had a smoking room in the Atlanta airport. I was surprised. Quote
theprogram4 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 do they still take lighters at security? cause i remember in phoenix you had to sneak a lighter or matches through security in order to use the smoking room. however the last time i flew i had my lighter in my carry on bag and it got through Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) do they still take lighters at security? cause i remember in phoenix you had to sneak a lighter or matches through security in order to use the smoking room. however the last time i flew i had my lighter in my carry on bag and it got through I don't think so...you can always pack a lighter in your checked baggage or buy one for $2 here.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 Just had a late lunch at the snake River brewery. As Moe Ghoul predicted got jack and Coke and spicy party mix. Woooo How the fuck is it only 2:48pm oh yeah I've been up for almost 15 hours already wooo. 1 Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 No ice? that's very euro. Stoked to hear that there's a ton of snow there. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 Oh I have ice. If I was euro I'd call it JD...that's what they call it over in the UK Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 When we flew to Atlanta, I used my backpack as my carry on. The same one I use hiking. Thought I got all the hiking stuff out. Forgot a big ass knife 😳 Was still in there. TSA was not pleased. Quote

theprogram4 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 i never remember to take my bottled water out of my bags Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Posted January 25, 2017 i never remember to take my bottled water out of my bags That can also be said for Laquisha earlier at the Philly airport..I honestly think it's so people spend tree fiddy on a 16 ounce bottle of water. TP4 you ready for some JH fun??? It's deep out here!!! Quote
enjoralas Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 That can also be said for Laquisha earlier at the Philly airport..I honestly think it's so people spend tree fiddy on a 16 ounce bottle of water. TP4 you ready for some JH fun??? It's deep out here!!! Pro tip: you can bring the bottle through, just not the water. Bring an empty and fill it at the water fountain. Add one of those powdered water enhancers for flavor. 4 Quote
