I've used them twice to fly to Tampa, the limited days suck, but the price is always so much less than delta.

Yup. Same goes for their crews.
Orlando for Thanksgiving. I did mention to my wife that I could fly us there and back for half of what the main lines will cost and slightly more than Allegiant. The downfall is it will obviously take much longer.
Yeah it would probably be us and my MIL but then we would have to send most of our luggage in the van with everyone else. AdmittedlyI would also have to fly quite a bit to take on that kind of trip. Especially since I have not flown in 53 weeks.
I actually didn't find Allegiant that cheap, either. The ticket itself is, but when you have to pay additional for every single bag, including carryons, pay extra for docking fees, pay extra for the air, pay extra for a bathroom pass, etc., that **** adds up real fast.
Is it UPS Mail Innovations? If so check it on the postal service website.
Don't mind me, I'm just here studying complex functions, the Cauchy-Riemann Equation, complex logarithms, solving complex integrals around contours, series (Taylor, Maclaurin, Laurent), residue theorem, poles, singularities, linear fractional transformations, and modeling electrostatic potential using mapping, among other things.
All will be covered on my test Wednesday evening... :twitcy::sad:

Finally caught up on this thread. Stayed up late completing my month end billing for my clients and about to head to bed. Had my oldest son's 8-year old birthday party this past weekend, but more on that tomorrow. Time for bed!
This...we did allegiant a few times to AZ for the in-laws. It was okay when it was just the two of us, and we actually specifically went with them when the kids were infants just for the non-stop service from CR to AZ...pretty much no one else does that, you jump to a hub (ORD/MSP) then out. But, we had to pay for assigned seats and all that noise, so now that the kids are older and more capable of handling a day of air travel, we've found that if you're taking bags...by shopping around, we can get pretty close to Allegiant prices with traditional airlines and not have to screw around with not having assigned seats, etc.
I'm just beginning to understand Chaser's pain. I left my license at the TSA station at Sky Harbor Phoenix last Wednesday morning. Didn't discover it missing until Thursday morning. Initiated a lost & found search through TSA & the airline immediately. Got a call-back from TSA late afternoon that they found it.
I had to set up a FedEx account for them to use to ship it (which was hilarious...AFTER the fact) and send the account number plus permission to use it plus specifying what manner of shipment to TSA, who then set up my requested "overnight" shipment for me. The package was picked up Friday morning (4/1), and when I got the tracking number from TSA late that afternoon, showed a delivery for Monday, (4/4) by 8 pm. Now, I'm old, but my math skills aren't THAT rusty. Three days is NOT overnight. Apparently, I had to specify Saturday delivery (which the TSA guy knew I wanted since I specifically mentioned that we would be home all day Saturday for the delivery).
Sooooo...after I saw the expected delivery and emailed TSA, it was "ooops - it has already been picked up, we can't change it". Oh well. So yesterday, got home from work expecting to see the package at my front door. Nope, but it's only 5.30pm. Make dinner & sit down to watch the ball game & I see lights coming down the lane and remember my package. Nope - it was the neighbor. So I went online & found out they "delivered it" at 11.40am that morning. So we're out there at 8.30 searching around the front of the house and garage with flashlights...no joy. I finally asked PapaLew if he thought they could have been dumb enough to leave it at the door of the garagemahal. The damn thing looks like a barn...but yup...there was my package, in front of the pass-through door.
Schmucks.
At least I'm street legal again.

My oldest, about 8 years ago forgot an electronic device at the MSP terminal. We realized while in the air,so the stewardesses called back and checked. The next day we were told it was turned it, because his name was labeled on the bottom. We could pick it up at lost and found when we return.
We we return and go to lost and found. After they dug, they found the case but nothing else. Turns out someone in lost and found stole it from there. So we had to file papers for that. It was a circus.

The security line is such a mess with dealing with laptops, shoes, belts and emptying your pockets that it is so easy to misplace something like your ID being that you have to have it out when they check your boarding pass. One time they pulled me over for the dreaded random pat down and I can see my wallet sitting their in one of those containers just ripe for the stealing. I get back and see a set of keys with an RSA token just sitting there. I hand it to the TSA agent and started looking for the woman in front of me in line.

I found her and she said no they weren't hers and she had noticed them as well. I feel bad for whomever lost those. Could you imagine flying home and you get to the parking garage and realize your lost your keys?
I'm signed up for next semester's classes!
EU Law, Immigration Law, Evidence, Trusts and Estates, and labor relations and I don't have class Thursday or Friday
Except for the part where my computer said it was my registration time before Wisconsin did, everything went surprisingly smoothly

Just dont get the wand. Some of those wand dudes are crazy. Before 2001, I dropped my wife and her family off in DM. I went to the gate with them, when you could do that. I set off the detectors twice, I forgot I had my factory work clothes on, steel toes required. They pull me aside and the guy drills me in the groin with the wand. After doubling over a bit I remembered the steel toes and he checked and let me through. Don't want that again.
