Last week, I covered my first four flights on my quest to hit 9 California airports in one day. Now, it’s finally time to finish this up.
I was tired after four flights, and I had just landed in Orange County with a tight connection ahead. Let’s pick it … Read the post
No, it’s not a typo. This isn’t about my six favorite flights. Today, I’m talking about fights, and not ones started by commenters. (Ok, the fifth one was….)
Usually I’m more than happy to just opine from my ivory tower, but sometimes the subjects of my posts decide they want … Read the post
Enough build-up. Let’s get into the details of my crazy day of flying between 9 airports. Today I’ll look at the first four flights, and then next week, I’ll talk about the last four.

We’ve already looked at posts with the most page views, but now let’s look at the ones that have the most comments. I eliminated contests where people had to leave a comment in order to participate, because that’s just cheating. Instead, here’s what bubbled to the top, starting with … Read the post
Ten years ago tomorrow, I published my very first post, Welcome from the Cranky Flier. Since
then, I’ve published just shy of 3,000 posts, and you’ve left more than 62,000 comments. There have been millions of page views and emails sent. It seems like something worthy of a blog … Read the post
The day has finally arrived. Assuming everything runs on time, I’ll be taking 8 Southwest flights touching 9 airports today both to earn a companion pass but also to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the blog. If you want backstory, click here and here.

Tomorrow is the big day. Assuming everything runs on time, I’ll take 8 Southwest flights touching 9 airports, all within the State of California. If you’d like a reminder of why I’d do something this ridiculous, take a look at this post. Today, let’s talk about how you can … Read the post
I told you I’d put together a couple of special Wednesday posts to look back on the past 10 years, but this one ended being bumped to Thursday. This week I’ve fought off a flu and what may or may not be strep throat only to get on an airplane … Read the post
