Keep up the trip reports please! I really love your writing style, it’s a great way to connect with air travel – especially since I’m (budget wise) home bound these days. Couldn’t believe Alaska would only serve a danish and yogurt on a 2 plus hour flight in First. In Europe you get a complete meal – why don’t we complain more? Thanks for exposing the cheapskates, I’ll be flying Virgin America whenever I can from now on! Thanks for doing a great job with the blog, looking forward to reading about your next trip.

I agree…the trip reports are excellent! And CF, you missed out on the Boeing factory tour–it’s awesome. We were there this summer just before the strike, and it was an airplane geek’s dream. I just wish they would let you take cameras inside the assembly building ;)

Well it seems pretty clear that I should keep the trip reports. Thanks for all the feedback.

Nicholas – My family drove up from Portland for the day, so we just drove back together.

CF,
Trip Reports? a big Yeah to that. One reason I like your blog is its variety, which only an independent blogger can provide. One day, it’s all about your obsession with flying Italians, the next is a cogent analysis of some economic issue, then maybe some “plane porn, and then your personal observations like the trip reports.

You have a unique product, and as long as you post daily, keep the variety.

To expand a little on what C$ said, I probably would “hate” the trip reports if if I was flying the same airlines & routes your were. But since you are not it’s interesting to see what other flights are like outside the east of the rockies American, Continental & NW flights I’m on every month.

Hi,

Your information about the Prayer Card reminded me of the couple of trips I did on Royal Brunei from DRW to FRA a few years ago.

After the safety demonstrations, they always had a muslim prayer for a safe flight come over the PA system.

I must admit, my thoughts exactly paralleled yours in this post. :)

CF – I too like the trip reports. Now to get to Portland did you drive or take Amtrak Cascades?
