Sea-Tac

Well, I'm glad I was leaving and not picking someone up. The road into Sea-Tac was backed up for about a mile for the arrivals and there were people parked along the side of the road for another mile. I decided to just park at the airport since they have a decent weekly rate and anything to shorten the trip when I get back with a very angry cat is worth it.

I left myself plenty of time to get here and it was a bit too much. I'm here at the gate an hour before the flight leaves. Check-in was easy, it wouldn't let me auto check-in cause I have the animals on the ticket. Security was a breeze and I got the ride the subway here at the airport. There are two remote terminals that are connected to the main terminal via the subway. So its not like some airports where the trains will just get you there faster, if you want to get the the N or S gates you have to take the train.

Its also a different perspective on flights out here. Being in the middle of the country you can get a more or less direct flight everywhere. The flight I'm taking is continuing on to Atlanta after Chicago. I suppose a direct flight from Seattle to Atlanta overnight wouldn't be that popular.

Another random thought. They finally had to re-record the security messages they play constantly to remind people about the liquids and gels thing.

I was dumb and forgot to get my iPass password before I came to the airport. So it cost me $7.95 to get it. I lost the password and my Starbucks script when my file vault was corrupted a couple weeks ago.

That's all I got for now. I'll be in Chicago in a little under 5 hours. Pickup some time from going with the jetstream, but lose two hours for the time change.
