Episode V: The Persian Empire Strikes Back

[Rstewart]

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...

You'll be lucky if they give you ice.

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!

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'll be going through Atlanta in a couple of weeks. I won't have to deal with going through security though.

Brother, this definitely isn't a "holiday" lol
I get fully read in on what's happening on the ground.  Should be quite the pain in the ass.
