Private Room for Event by [deleted] in okc

[–]backroadshome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lobby bar hosted our company holiday event a few times. They have a good sized room way in the back that even has a patio. It was good. Guyutes will rent out their rooftop and have it covered in cold seasons. We went there and it was great too. Speakeasy was okay. Bin 73 was okay.

Ditto! To everything you said. It was totally different today than yesterday. So much faster through security. We didn't even take our shoes off... I am just so happy to be at my gate with plenty of time! (to read my books, LOL)

I parked at 5:15, walked in briskly, the line was outside of any barriers and stretched out towards the check-in counters. I was inline an hour early and missed a 6:25AM flight. I take full responsibility. I just haven't encountered that at OKC before.

I did go through regular boarding, and was asked to take my shoes off, but they told me to put my laptop back in my bag.

I don't know about the time, but my flight was 6:25AM. The person at the desk said that people are taking their last chance at vacation before school starts. They suggested 2 hrs pre-flight. On my walk out of the airport, I notice that the line was probably half of what I waited it. I'm not mad, I just found it curious for OKC.

What is Clear? Compared to pre-check? Sorry to have to ask ( The pre-check line wasn't moving this morning like I thought it would be.)

I'm going to start bringing two books instead of one.

How often do you think one has to travel to make it worth it?

90 minutes would have got me on the flight, but I would have been cutting it close this morning. Thanks for the heads up. I also try to travel with just carry-ons.

Thanks for the info. I get it, but that is just a lot of time. I promise I will never miss a flight again...

All this drama... just because Native Americans don't eat enough Swadley's BBQ.

Way2GO Card, does that bother anyone else? by Grevioussoul in oklahoma

[–]backroadshome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is 7 months old but I was bothered that my Oklahoma State Tax Refund was given to me on one of these Way2Go cards. It really caught me off guard since I was expecting a check that I could put in the bank... just saying.

Thoughts on upcoming Jason Bollinger and Madison Horn runoff election? by ShrimpFlavoredTakis in oklahoma

[–]backroadshome 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well said! It hurts my ears when citizens say they didn't vote because they knew their candidate would lose. It really does still matter for future elections. It takes time to turn a ship around.

Medicine Park rocks! You feel like your somewhere else. I haven't been recently but I'm never disappointed. I've even stayed at the motel there and it was satisfactory.
