Your Travel Today

If you are stuck at an airport with a delayed or canceled flight, and are looking at a daunting line-up for your airline’s customer service desk that is 2 city blocks long, check out the self-serve kiosks…

I just watched 10s of flights be canceled at the Washington Dulles Airport on United Airlines…

I watched a line-up form that, seriously, from one end of terminal A to the other end.

I walked up near the desk and saw that the self-serve kiosks were not being used…So, I politely asked if anyone was waiting for them, and they all said “No”…

So, I rescheduled my canceled flight myself, and those poor people will have to stand in that line for hours, no doubt…I’m sitting at my new gate and hopefully this delayed flight won’t be canceled too, or I’ll be sleeping in the airport tonight…

Well, at least this is a great tip and could get you from Point A to Point B a whole lot quicker!

This was my very first connection at the Washington Dulles Airport.

About 30 min before my flight, the sky got very dark and flights were being delayed and canceled left and right.

So, as of now, my flight is 2 hrs delayed…

I was a little disappointed, in fact…There were only a handful of pay phones in the entire terminal I was at, and a VERY limited number of power outlets per gate…This was so surprising to me, as this is WASHINGTON!

Anyway, my Chai Tea Latte was good from the Mayorga Coffee House in Terminal A; in fact, it was stellar…Kudos!

They have neat shuttle buses from terminal to terminal here…They almost look military-like or space-like…Super high off the ground, and holding a lot of people per shuttle.

Thus far, this was my experience. Not my favorite airport, as far as I can tell.

P.S. Just prepare accordingly. In other words, make sure you have something to do, be it working on your laptop, reading a book or listening to music…Check out this cool new iPod nano:

P.P.S. My flight ended up being delayed 9 hrs, after I was canceled off of 2 flights…Sheesh…You never know what the weather will be like.
