Road Warrior Traveling Tips from ActiveRich

Great video ! Thanks for posting.

Great tips! i couldn't agree more. I think the idea behind murphy's law is this:

1. All the commercial vendors in the airport got together and decided that they'd have a better chance at customer conversion if a passenger was forced to walk the entire airport and thus be bombarded with products.

2. To make you hate traveling and thus force you to stay home which then alleviates the job of the floorbuffer guy and furthermore gives him the ability to race around the airport at top speed with his fellow floorbuffers which happens to be the reason he chose that job in the first place.

3. To show you how big of an airport you're in. Once awestruck you're more opt to travel to this airport again to play golf from gate 1 to 95.

I could create a top 100 list for ya :)

...or chicago. Now there's an encyclopedia britannica for ya.

Not to mention they put all those ice cream stands and bars in between ...

The one airport that you don't want a connecting flight out of to anywhere is Detroit Metro!  I had to pack a lunch just to cross the terminal!  And the baggage claims ... well, lets not go there ...

As a former road warrior I learned alot of traveling tips.   Once in Portland I sat on plane with mechanical difficulties and while waiting I called the airline and booked myself on the next flight out just in case.  Sure enough the flight cancelled and while everyone else scrambled for customer service I walked to the next gate.  Of course it helped being a member of the 100K plus a year flying club :-(

In Ft. Lauderdale it's worse.....they use one claim area sometimes and put every flight on the sign....this way if your luggage looks like someone else's you might end up with a snow suit in 90 degree weather.

Rich...I like the train ride to know where to get to the concourse. We do the same thing in ATL, but I think it works much better.

I hope you made it back ok! LOL!

You my friend have been a nationwide road warrior and thanks for coming out to see us in all parts of the country! I appreciate all the help you and Brad have given and I like the fact that you actually look like the picture in your profile so it's easy to spot you in public!hmmm...that sounds like an idea for a post!

Rich, I am glad you figured out the difference between a & b.  That is a very helpful tip I might not use one day...since I pay attention to details like that already :)

Also, be glad you weren't in Atlanta, that airport makes you get on the subway and go for a half mile between terminals sometimes!

Hi Rich... I am completely amused with the fact that you had 20 minutes to get from Gate 1 to Gate 95 and instead of hauling butt to get there and not miss your flight, you whip out the video camera and decide to record this for your blog!  Way to go! :)

I had to come back one more time to watch this video because it made me laugh!

LOL...

Here's a tip for ya...Ever hear of one way non stop flights? I simply will not fly any other way. But I'm a Lady and a Lady shouldn't have to walk around locating luggage and connecting flights. It's so...Well...Not my area :)

TLW...ROAR!

And...

After meeting you I understand why and why she will endure another 25 :)

P.S. I didn't mean to sound snotty in my previous comment. If in fact it came off snotty. Sometimes I'm just not so sure of these things. I wish I could vocalize my off handed remarks. They work better that way. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Hey...

I think it's almost time for me to beat you up :)

Think back to a conversation we had a few months ago. I never did it. The equipment is still just sitting in my closet. All just an unrealized idea. But I can fix that :)

Rich - Your video is no longer working.
