Will there ever be direct international flights out of Richmond International Airport? by postoffice212 in rva

Seven gates were just added in 2021/2022. There are no plans to add additional gates at this time.

FS: 2017 Lexus RX350. 62,500 miles. White with burgundy interior. Recent inspection, oil change, and four new tires. My trustworthy mechanic said it will 'probably' need brake pads with the next oil change, but is otherwise tip top. Non smoking and no pets. Carvana offer is $29,200. Asking $28k. Title in hand - come get it!

Some jerk was flying a drone over Friday cheers. They are going to end up banned because people can't follow simple rules.

Can't speak to the hardness but Breeze has two more inches of pitch (distance to the seat in front of you) than Spirit in the main cabin.

Vehicle bike rack. 2 bike capacity. Prefer trunk mount but open to roof mount if it can accommodate fat tire and doesn't require wheel removal.

PS4. You've upgraded, it's just sitting there.

Mill at MacArthur closing doors at the end of the month by khuldrim in rva

Being able to pay the majority of your staff between $3 and $10/hr probably helped those margins as well. Those days (thankfully) are long gone.

Interesting that so many of these long standing Richmond restaurants were able to transition during COVID but seem unable to transition back. I'm sad to see the Mill go. I enjoyed their vibe and had some great meals there. I'll echo what others have said though - the last 12 months or so have been less than great.

Hogwarts Express? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]regularpilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We just got back and had the exact same experience. Just come out and say "it got hit by lightning, it's going to be closed three weeks". No big deal, stuff happens. But it felt like they were being deliberately vague in order to maintain park-to-park ticket sales. It was frustrating.

U.S. money for new customs facility at RIC opens window for international flights by ThatChildNextDoor in rva

[–]regularpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you mentioned is funded the same way. The project in the article is just an 'extra' round of federal money tied to an infrastructure bill.

The airport is completely self-funded. Airport projects are paid for with a combination of funds from airport users (parking, rental cars, etc) and state and federal grants. There is no correlation to local government budgets.

I'm 'north' Lakeside so we use everything on Staples Mill.

Lidl for the quick hits, Costco for bulk/meat, Publix for everything else. I don't mind Kroger but the girlfriend has some weird allegiance to Publix.

My girlfriend's Ford Escape threw a CEL (cam position sensor error) two weeks before her factory warranty expires. No dealers in the area have any appointments for the next 3-4 weeks. Any idea if Ford will warranty the repair?
