Make that 100, and you'd be right.

(Wish I'd actually thought to look for this thread on Thursday, when I was actually in an airport.

this has been a really weird week!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

i'm holding it down though. soon i'll be in another airport, and i'll have like 4 hours to kill!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

I'll be in two airports next week. One in Canada! Calgary! I've never been to Canada before. I'll be there for all of an hour!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

actually, three airports.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

what's your second airport?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

there's another airport thread on ILE.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

toronto!!

what magazine(s) should i get? what's out now? is there a new vanity fair?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

i started this thread though!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

AND I'M GONNA END IT (ominous music)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

I don't even know where Calgary is!

xp the new Vanity Fair is the one with Jennifer Anniston on it.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

i could get TIME CANADA with kanye west on the cover ("hip hop's class act")

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

oh that J-AN VF looks thick and JUICY!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

oh no, I wasn't suggesting that this thread isn't valid, just noting the confluence.

xp get Wired. Wired's the quintessential airport magazine.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

eww!! i don't think i've ever bought an issue of wired!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

I LIKE wired!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

really? is it good? i guess i've read some wired articles online... but BUYING a magazine about the internet always seems like a waste of money!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

it's not about the internet, it's about science! and they have one or two really good writers (and some terrible ones).

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

can i buy an issue of mondo 2000 instead?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

I mean, it IS kind of embarassing, but I enjoy it.

xp yes

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

well i'll totally buy it if the VF isn't there. also the entertainment weekly this week looks boring!! it's like a summer wrap-up issue, fuck that, i don't wanna read past tense versions of the articles they've been writing since may!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

what about a foreign newspaper?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

or a good mystery?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Toblerone?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Remember s1ocki, it's the end of winter down there. But don't be surprised to see lots of long stockinged legs even with the winter coats.

that was a good concert

R.U. Sirius is podcasting now

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

I misread the thread title as I AM AN AIRPORT, so I was hoping it would be full of things like I AM AN AIRPORT COME AND LOOK AT TEH AIRPLANES TALKING OFF FROM ME.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 25 August 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

It could well have been a lost Jonathan Richman song- the followup to "Rockin' Shopping Center" and the precursor to "I'm A Little Airplane."

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

slocki, how is hte shoulder? Did it survive the 1st leg of the journey?

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Calgary = Canadian Cowboyland. (Well, a lot of cities are Canadian Cowboyland, but Calgary likes to think of itself as the capital of it. Also, ask LeCoq about how cool Calgary is.. hahahah)

― donut gon' nut (donut), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

the shoulder is... ok! i mean still spasming a bit but definitely definitely better than yesterday (going to bed last night w/horrible shoulder & everything else = the :(ness)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

thanks for asking!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

incidentally, i'm in an airport again!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

i watched entourage on my laptop on the plane! i'm charging it up again for the mega-long trip to BA.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

hey s1ocki - i might run into you during TIFF! i heard your crew mentioned when i was planning events with a certain hipster toronto hotel establishment...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

haha no shit!! what's your deal tiffwise?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 August 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

my new job (just started last week!) is with a big radio company and we're working on doing some live recordings at you-know-where, and they have lots of 'secret shows' there during TIFF and we might record some. yee-ha! and yeah, they mentioned your posse was there and i thought "hey! i know one of those guys!" and then realized, no, i don't, i only exist on a messageboard with one of those guys! but would be cool to meet you...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:10 (twenty years ago)

for real!! i think it's going to be kinda crazy!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

So far flying from DC to Minneapolis/Saint Paul, connection in Chicago Midway, only seen two other people masked other than my wife and me.

three weeks pass...

was heading to montreal via detroit, but when I woke up I found out the detroit->montreal leg was canceled and they’d auto-rebooked me to do minneapolis->montreal instead.

so instead of arriving at noon, I arrive at 5pm which is nbd. won’t have to kill any time before hotel check-in. just lounging in a near-empty part of the terminal. construction going on opposite some recently-constructed wall sounded like Colin Stetson playing saxophone for a moment, appropriate since I should be seeing him tomorrow evening

oh, for other travelers: the MSP airport has better toilet paper than nearly every other airport I’ve ever been to

I remember a time when this thread premise felt novel. Posting on ILX somewhere other than your home or workplace? But how?!

― jaymc, Tuesday, 20 August 2024 15:57 (one year ago)

I remember thinking “oh no” when it was bumped a few years ago!

― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Tuesday, 20 August 2024 16:46 (one year ago)

MSP used to have these excellent plastic bags for when you came back through Customs. People at work would beg people to bring them back a few.

one month passes...

a bunch of Swedish transport police are deporting two people. not as exciting as it sounds.

― brimstead, Thursday, 10 October 2024 07:16 (one year ago)

two weeks pass...

Hopefully someone can help me out with an airline question (and if there’s another thread for this, let me know) -

I’m about to book a round trip flight for someone through Southwest. (They will be coming to me from another state.) It’s the first time I’ve ever done this. Is there any trick or pitfall to this that I should be ready for?

This is probably just paranoia on my part but it’s weird that the site doesn’t have a FAQ section specifically for this, so wanted to see if anyone else had done this, or had problems with it.

You just need the passenger's legal name & DOB (and their Redress & KT# if they have TSA PRE/Global Entry).

You fill out your details on the billing portion.

No need to stress, this is a very common practice especially for biz travelers...

...unless the passenger is your mistress/mister/someone who you don't want to be tracked back to you?

― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 30 October 2024 21:37 (one year ago)

lol

No, just my son!

Thanks man

― Marten Broadcloak, mild-mannered GOP congressman (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 30 October 2024 21:55 (one year ago)

no worries then, easy peasy.

Any non-citizens flown into internationally into the US this year? Got a couple of family members planning to fly into Chicago soon. One was antsy about it and is now blasé, the other was blasé and is now antsy
