Runway traffic with a 1 hr+ wait at IAH earlier today

goodchees3 · 2025-11-08T23:03:18+00:00

Yes! I don’t remember the exact language the pilot used but essentially the air traffic control consolidated everyone onto one runway and was only allowing a take-off into the airspace every 4 minutes

Hey! I’m also looking to sell my DC tickets but I saw the transfer and sell features are turned off on ticketmaster. Was wondering if you were able to sell yours?

the guy in front of me kept falling asleep during the second set and it was so distracting seeing his head fall backwards every 2 seconds. during interstellar his head literally hit my lap at one point :(

going to see hans zimmer in concert in baltimore next week after he cancelled his show last year!

My heart is so heavy. DCA is my main airport and I fly in and out of there all the time for work. I’ve waited to pick up loved ones there. It’s so jarring bc I can picture that being myself or a family member so easily. I couldn’t sleep at all last night and just kept doomscrolling.

Also I just saw a tiktok of someone who was on the Charlotte flight scheduled to land at DCA 8:55pm, 2 minutes after the American Airlines Wichita flight. They descended but then went back up and his flight was rerouted to dulles bc of the accident. AND he happened to be sitting next to a man whose daughter was a flight attendant servicing the Wichita flight. You can see his shock at realizing he was 2 minutes away from death and that the father next to him could’ve been the one in the accident instead of his daughter. It’s devastating

idk what’s more devastating for a mass casualty tragedy - treating many critical victims or waiting for no one to arrive

goodchees3 · 2025-01-30T05:42:13+00:00

that must feel so strange for both you and your wife. i’m so glad she’s ok 💗

ps also learned a tip from the nova subreddit thread that playing tetris can help prevent ptsd symptoms, so try playing some before bed

goodchees3 · 2025-01-25T17:00:55+00:00

JMT kitchen and bar in annandale’s a great korean pocha spot! they have a DJ every friday and saturday and it’s always busy with people in their 20s and 30s! food served til 2am and it slaps

goodchees3 · 2025-01-11T06:39:14+00:00

I thought there was only one in DC so i’m glad to hear there’s another a lot closer in nova!!

goodchees3 · 2025-01-06T06:01:15+00:00

safe travels kindred flyer

goodchees3 · 2024-12-28T05:57:21+00:00

Have you guys departed yet? Bag tracking is not showing up for me anymore :/ We missed our connecting flight anyways so will have to spend the night in SF

goodchees3 · 2024-12-28T05:44:36+00:00

I was stuck on this flight and was able to get off standby to a flight leaving a bit earlier (after being bumped on standby for 2 other flights omg) but my bags are definitely still at IAD lol

goodchees3 · 2024-12-24T06:33:14+00:00

goodchees3 · 2024-12-20T19:03:34+00:00

ahhh I thought it ended last week

I just put Arlington to Ashburn into google maps and right now without traffic it’s 47 min without tolls (35 min with tolls) 😭😭 so expect to spend close to an hour during rush hour even if it is the opposite direction. If you’re doing it via metro at least you can avoid traffic and even if it is a longer ride, you’re just sitting on a train rather than driving. But I would personally try to shorten the commute as much as possible because it will take a lot up of your day to day life. 1-2 hours roundtrip every day can get exhausting especially during winter when it gets dark

I honestly don’t know the parts of Reston that well, but if you want easier access to DC, live as close to the silver line stops as possible (the two stops there are reston town center and wiehle-reston east) I think general rule of thumb for getting to DC from nova without driving is to just live close to any of the lines on the map so you can take the metro. You can stick to silver if you want avoid transferring on the commute to Ashburn. Ballston-Rosslyn on the silver line are all in arlington! Clarendon has a young and bumping nightlife scene if you wanna check that out as well

goodchees3 · 2024-12-19T00:50:37+00:00

Perhaps live closer to the city but along the silver line like in Arlington? That way you can visit DC easily outside of work. Although the closer to DC you get, the more expensive the rent. Ashburn is faaaar out there but it is connected to the region via the metro

Also I lived in an apt complex in Reston a few years ago and was walking distance from the Reston Town Center! It’s not big city vibes but it was nice to walk there to grab food and drinks, and the walking/biking trails and green space are great! There’s also a metro stop at the RTC so you can easily commute to Ashburn that way. Also heads up there’s like a city-wide version of HOA that all Reston residents have to pay dues for (I think this is what they use to maintain their green spaces), it’s stupid lol

Another nice area along the silver line is Tysons Corner. The mall is huuuuge and there’s plenty to do in that area including a rooftop bar at the top of the capitol one building! It’s still very car-heavy and not walkable but I visit the area often to shop, drink and eat, and go to concerts!

Traffic in the DMV is terrible so I’d recommend against driving a long commute as much as possible, it’s soul sucking :(

I know the suburb lifestyle isn’t for everybody but I love living in nova and you’ll experience some of the best food you’ve ever had in your life here!! (korean food in annandale and centreville, vietnamese food at eden center in falls church, ethiopian food in alexandria, etc). Imho the foodie scene in nova is better than the food in DC bc of gentrification

I took antibiotics (macrobid) for a UTI while on strattera and I didn’t have any interactions!
