At Kennedy three weeks ago, if I were not platinum, it would have taken me an hour from curb to check-in, another 30 minutes through security, then a long walk to the gate where they board 30 minutes before scheduled departure - and if you're not at the gate at least ten mintes before departure, EVEN IF YOU ARE CHECKED IN YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SEAT. I've flown between 50-100,000 miles in each of the last three years. Take care, travelers, we are living in a different world than we were and it is a very serious one. A Happy Thanksgiving to all Yanks and to everyone, happy, healthy holidays and a safe year-end. Seth LaK 9 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
