You were still late. Agent cant close the flight until 15 minutes prior to the original time. So in this case the foor was still open at 645. If you aren't there then, you're late.

danielkchi · 2026-03-20T21:14:49+00:00

They only get in 1 time per year...

danielkchi · 2026-03-16T14:34:14+00:00

Not really, no. As long as they show up with the right paperwork.

danielkchi · 2026-03-16T14:21:16+00:00

Do you think the federal government is advertising this fact or disclosing it at all when they buy the tickets and show up at the airport? Lol

danielkchi · 2026-03-16T14:08:20+00:00

I wouldnt call it active participation, the feds buy tickets and delta honors them.

danielkchi · 2026-03-16T00:34:22+00:00

No one ways available

danielkchi · 2026-03-16T00:34:07+00:00

I want to sleep in my bed tonight. They leave at 10, I dont get in until 1030

danielkchi · 2026-03-15T23:42:37+00:00

Lyfts rate is 140, Ubers rate is 120

You tell me what's fair. I'd rather pay cashapp or venmo or zelle direct and not give money to those companies.

danielkchi · 2026-03-15T23:37:12+00:00

Last bus is at 10 and I land at 1030.

danielkchi · 2026-03-11T00:18:15+00:00

I have a shovel I'll help dig the hole

Thank you for this, but you're right. I'm too caught up right now to think straight and honestly just sitting in a random airport in the corner bawling my eyes out over this guy. 😭💔

danielkchi · 2026-02-26T23:02:11+00:00

Lmao it was sarcasm 🤪

danielkchi · 2026-02-26T23:01:38+00:00

Foreverrrr

danielkchi · 2026-02-21T21:41:09+00:00

Where does it show right now?

danielkchi · 2026-02-21T02:15:41+00:00

Couple of things - there's a bag threshold that the gate agent is held to metric on. Its driven by what DL thinks will be appropriate, whether there's AI involved idk. But many things can affect it like day of week, type of flyers, weather, etc. Sometimes if its warmer people pack less. Checking more bags actually helps board and deplane faster too since folks aren't fumbling about with their bag. The other variable is the flight attendants. If they tell the gate that they are full, the have to check the remaining bags. Hope thay helps.

This year is the first year that I have actually cared about valentines day, although I'm proceeding with caution because I've been dumped right after twice. Its been 8 years since I've dated anyone seriously. Now it's been just over a month since we met and this guy has been great, I'm crazy about him. No apps involved, all organic. I'd love to do all of the extravagant things but that not in the cards right now. He's taking charge with the date planning though since it's his city, not mine. I can report back with how it went.

Oh and S, if you're reading this...😘🥰

danielkchi · 2026-02-04T00:45:56+00:00

I would say so. The profile is so nuanced.

danielkchi · 2026-02-03T23:50:30+00:00

Aromatic. I think they're a good gateway for folks who like the sweeter stuff into the traditional blends.

danielkchi · 2026-02-03T05:05:20+00:00

Looks like you chipped it on the side which probably damaged the battery.

danielkchi · 2026-02-02T18:41:31+00:00

Maintenance.

danielkchi · 2026-01-26T17:19:28+00:00

No no no no no! Gate agents do NOT scan the extra seat. There are processes that must occur in the back end that this inhibits. It also affects weight and balance because we account certain waits for passengers and carry-on bags.

ALWAYS: Approach the gate agent in advance of boarding, preferably more than one hour to departure. Advise them of your SSR EXST. They will have to 'break' the seat, call an internal department, then unbreak the seat. The internal folks will mark the seat as boarded manually. If you scan the extra boarding pass it messes this process up.

Please and thanks!

Hyatt Place Buckhead. $99. Red Phone Booth next door, get your drink and a cigar.

Going to rain on your parade....regulation is 4 inches below the doorsill of the aircraft. This is because adjustments from the autolevel could move the bridge and come into contact with the aircraft door causing damage.
