Travel Stories

2001

Comair Rerouting

Comair’s 2001 strike meant I got to avoid the uselessly short flight between Cincinnati and Dayton.

2013

A Single Flight Round Trip at DFW

Due to a mechanical issue, my flight had to return to Dallas.

2014

Valentine’s Day Winter Weather

Due to the system delays caused by Winter Storm Pax, my flights home on 14 February went through rather a lot of transitions.

Tulsa Travel

It’s not uncommon to have delays going through Chicago, but this trip to Tulsa was a bit involved.

2015

No, I’m Not Flying From Honolulu

Somehow, I managed to get an already used record locator for a trip I booked, which led to some issues on the airline’s website.

2020

Work Travel During a Pandemic

My job had me fly a few times during the COVID-19 restrictions, and it was an odd experience.

2021

A Water Salute and the Breaking of a Voucher Chain

I earned a United voucher from a trip I booked on another United voucher, but I finally broke that trend in May 2021 by taking United’s first flight between Columbus, Ohio and Portland, Maine.

2023

New York, D.C., and Iceland

I took a New York and Iceland vacation in January 2023, including the TWA hotel, Reykjavík, Akureyri, and mall cats.
