A few times over the last few weeks pictures of a jam packed SLC airport show up in my "news" (CNN, ABC, NBC, etc...) feed. No notation of "stock images supplied". Just pure rage bait that was  presented as this is happening now. And all the unhinged loons are blaming #OrangeManBad "for the hours wating in line"... claiming to be happening on days I was actually in the SLC airport. My home airport.

And guess what? Normal or less than normal wait times. <10min TSA Pre-Check/CLEAR and <20min for general passengers.

Trust the "news" at your own peril.

I don't doubt that airports back east are/were having trouble. The overwhelming majority of delays or cancellations for me in my 1m+ air miles traveled life have originated/been routed through DEN, ATL, or ORD first. Be it weather, personnel, computer failures, etc... and I've pretty much seen it all. Seems to me the east coast bears the brunt of many of the air travel challenges travelers in the US face.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to tarnish his good name.

In about 32 hours I fly to the Philippines.

Here in Cyprus, "they" have decimated the early holiday crowds by "unsafe to travel warnings" leading to cancelling flights because we're "in a war zone" baaaalah blah blah.
Meanwhile, the reality v the BS is it's beautiful and everything is normal except a lot of restaurants and hotels are currently struggling.
Plus side, is there's more space for us....

Have a great holiday!

In about 32 hours I fly to the Philippines.  From what I can read it's now high risk climate.  They are rioting in the streets because of no fuel and public transportation.  I'm sure my white ass from America will be warmly welcomed 😬

If you guys don't hear from me in a couple weeks, I'm probably missing a kidney and in a bathtub of ice 😄

Getting around should be quite the adventure...

Just like what they did with solar panels ten or fifteen years ago.  Some of the money that 'saved' us from the great recession was earmarked for manufacturing investment that went towards encouraging solar startups and expansions.  Then China dumped and they all folded.
