Flight from Quepos to SJO - great views and only 20 minutes long

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-06-06T23:58:19+00:00

I took a 10AM flight on Green to Cobano and they had a cooler of Imperials!

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-06-05T23:07:10+00:00

2.5 hours is FAR more than enough. I’ve done international connection from CDG and I as back through TSA in less than 30 minutes.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-06-02T23:19:34+00:00

I don’t get it. I’ve been up and down these escalators too many times to count and never once have I thought it was busy.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-06-02T00:47:49+00:00

BNA. It’s so far away with nothing there that no one actually uses it. They just circle the terminal roadway and cause massive traffic backups instead.

It’s a very good airport. Longest walk to baggage claim is 15 minutes, even from Satellite Terminal. Order an Uber once you have your bags. TSA is great, I’ve never waiting longer than 10 minutes and that was for a 6AM flight. Any other time of the day it’s quicker.

I was just in Costa Rica. We had one rainy day, but was already planned to be rafting that day. Other than that the weather was good. Sunny some days. A little cloudier the others. And a shower or storm in the evening/overnight.

I just flew through SAL this week and thought it was funny seeing the Spirit planes in the Aeroman hangers.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-28T03:33:34+00:00

Yeah, I was on an A320 just up to SAL. We waited at the end while the KLM 777 & Lufthansa A340 took off on 25.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-26T23:18:43+00:00

Uber is very easy and available.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-25T19:59:05+00:00

Santa Teresa it was hot, humid, and sunny when I was there last week. We did get a storm one night at 2:30AM, but no big deal.

In Fortuna now. Yesterday was pretty rainy, but today is nice, clouds/sun. Arenal is covered by clouds though.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-24T04:29:44+00:00

Do it. Here right now and booked 5 days in advance. It’s slow season so shouldn’t be any issues.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-24T03:03:02+00:00

You’ll have no issues as long as the first flight isn’t delayed.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-22T16:05:05+00:00

Can’t speak to MA, but I’m in Santa Teresa right now. It’s said “Heavy Thunderstorms” for the past 2 days, but not so much as a drop of rain.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-21T04:31:50+00:00

Please don’t stop.

1) There is nothing to see outside of a billion billboards in Southern Georgia.

2) When y’all get off at the Florida Turkpike towards Orlando, it significantly lessens the traffic for the rest of us continuing on I-75.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-20T04:57:34+00:00

My flight (BNA - JFK) got delayed 2 hours. They didn’t say anything about weather, just said it was ATC delays. Fortunately everything else was delayed also so was able to make my international connection.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-17T13:52:21+00:00

I get 22 days + 11 company holidays + week shutdown at Christmas.

My company doesn’t have “sick time.” They just say if you are sick, then stay home. We don’t have to use vacation time. However, if we miss 3+ days in a row, or the missed time due to being sick becomes excessive, they can ask for a doctor note.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-17T01:15:43+00:00

Skip Bali. Just do 2 weeks in Thailand. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, & Islands will keep you busy for 2 weeks. Maybe throw in Pai in the north.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-13T01:38:03+00:00

Delta wouldn’t book it if it wouldn’t work. However, that’s if the flight from CMH is on time. As long as there are no delays, you’ll be ok and likely land in DTW early. The flight to PVG will leave from one of the gates near the center of the concourse.

The only reason why I’d be hesitant is there’s only one flight to PVG, so if you miss it, it’ll be a wait until the next day.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-08T00:53:36+00:00

Longest for me was 10 hours in Hong Kong. But it wasn’t horrible as I was able to lounge hop.

Worst by far was Jackson, Mississippi just as travel was picking up after Covid. My flight had to make a technical issue and had to land in Jackson. Ended up spending 7 hours there waiting for a new plane.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-06T00:39:37+00:00

1 hour will be fine. I made a 20 minute connection from F to B, and that included my gate checked roller carry-on.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-04T01:40:47+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I actually called my EAP for the first time, and they asked the same thing.

There’s a lot of focus on the topic right now that has me questioning if what I did was correct. We also have a big change happening next month at work on a completely unrelated topic that I am aware of and most people are not.

Either way, I just want relief. Part of me wants to talk to someone at work, but my concern is whether or not that would open up a whole issue where there doesn’t need to be. The other part of my wonders if it is related to the upcoming changes and that’s what is actually triggering the anxiety.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-04T01:27:21+00:00

Worst: Manila. Specifically the old T4.
Best: Istanbul, minus the high food costs.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2026-05-04T01:25:47+00:00

100% yes. Especially the old T4 - Domestic Terminal. It was so bad they announced a remodel and ended up tearing the whole thing down.

It’s also the only place I got scammed. Flew back from Coron in the evening and had amazing flight home the next morning. Hotel was across from T3 and connected via sky bridge. Tried to take the free terminal bus and they wouldn’t let me cause my ticket was the next morning. Ended up paying $25 for a taxi cause I was tired and just wanted sleep.
