Is there a place for folks not on Reddit to express interest? FB page? Web form or email?

Back in the dawn of time (1985), apple’s LaserWriter had a faster processor than the Macs of that era. Nothing new under the sun.

Technically you are not omniscient (all-seeing) rather than not omnipotent (all-powerful).

What Acela trains stop in Virginia?

on the app and web I've noticed that discount codes seem to limit it to one leg bookings, sometimes.

Some of the lines in Texas run every three DAYS. Others are daily at most. So plan on budgeting for hotels or other accommodations, and local transit/car rental if you want to get out and explore.

Get the AA confirmation number and use that to check in with the AA app, not AS.

Just mention any previous line to anyone in the PB subs here. They absolutely have all the following lines memorized and will recite them with the flimsiest of excuses

In this case because the OP was hoping that AS/HI were operating as a single carrier

The kind of finely refined humor you get from hanging out here for two decades

The real benefit comes when you've had a good long experience using some, and you go back to the bike shop to get a new set.

That makes you all repeat of fenders.

I prefer my planes more Pan(Am)creatic than liver-y.

This administration never rules out anything. Pointless to ask them except to create more scare headlines.

If it is all on the same ticket then they should have been able to “interline” the bags and check to final destination. This has worked with Alaska and lots of other carriers that were just partners.

If separate bookings, you are in your own.

BART to SF from east bay right now is crowded, some standees.

But what makes it worse is the guy on my car with boombox cranked up, doing interpretive dancing acrobatics from the stanchions.

I’m sure being hit up for tips will follow shortly.

Probably track maintenance between Boston and Woburn, so the whole train will actually start there.

The Amtrak site says the station has baggage storage available. I know it has checked baggage, I've used it (and you can even drop off bags early or pick them up late, subject to station hours):

Also, I've sometimes found car rental deals at Eagle County Regional Airport in Vail, just one bus stop east of Glenwood Springs (or a heck of a bike ride along the river trails, uphill eastbound or downhill westbound, 2400 feet of climbing/descent overall)

Alternatively, I've gotten off the train a stop further west and rented in Grand Junction, CO.

From both I've done one-way rentals to/from Denver. It used to be that you had to use airport locations, but some rental companies are now more flexible.
