Here’s another travel tip. You can track flights in real-time at http://flightaware.com/ and other sites. Flightaware is showing me exactly where the plane is that will be used for my flight out of here. It also predicts that it will arrive here at 5:04, which is about ten minutes after my airline claims I’ll be departing. Assuming the airline is not changing planes, that means my airline is fibbing a bit and I’m going to be delayed again.
That reminds me of the time that my airline was saying that the flight was delayed because of fog in San Francisco and I brought up a web cam of the airport showing nice sunny skies. Never lie to your customer. It’s bad karma and you will probably get caught.
