I figured I am going to put storage insurance on it during the winter. That should save me about $600. Didn't really want to transfer all that cash though, kinda hovered over the send button. :rofl2:

Mr Onz, would like the opinion of another frequent flyer.

My new client is in Woodland hills CA which is closer to BUR. All the direct flights from ORD go to LAX. Once you account for traffic and the longer uber ride from LAX to the client site, it is about the same travel time as doing ORD -> PHX -> BUR or ORD -> SFO -> BUR.

What would you do good sir given relatively similar overall travel times ? Direct flight + longer on road commute or connecting flights and shorter commute. I'm leaning towards the prior to LAX

onzedge 09-24-2016 06:48 AM

It is Rep Time.

I would go with the connecting flight options. Traffic around LAX is very heavy at almost any time of day. The other downside to LAX is the fact that all rental car companies are off-site. You need to factor in waiting for the shuttle, riding on the shuttle through all the terminals and associated traffic, etc.

It can take 30 minutes or more to get to the rental car to pick up, then there's traffic waiting to check the car out.

I am not a fan of lying into LAX as my final -- connecting through LAX is OK though.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!

I won't be renting a car this time around I'll leave that to the other team members and we'll share. This client is SUPER tight on their expenses so I will be taking an uber from either airport.

My biggest concern was LAX itself and 405 traffic. I'll probably try both routes.

On the upside of connecting..... I'll get more segments too! Not that status means much nowadays when Joe schmoe can get a credit card and be automatic group 2. I won't even start with precheck lately :ugh:

I am applying for CLEAR which essentially bypasses the Pre-Check line. I am lucky though because I only connect through big airports and rarely need to go through security at places like LAX and ATL.

Lucky! CLEAR isn't available at any of the airports I go through unfortunately. I'll gladly pay to bypass precheck I hope this expands but it only limited to frequent travelers.

Hi folks.

Wife is slowly getting better, and is finally listening to the PT instructor and not over-doing it.

She insists on going to Whole Foods today though. :shakes head: :icon17:

Such a beautiful fall day today, had to take the Z out!
Too bad the expressway was pretty busy, a really clean Audi TT and I wanted to play a bit.

Anyone ever use this stuff?

My sister-in-law has a decent leak in her Jeep, which I think is coming from a freeze plug on the rear of the engine behind the bell housing. I know nothing about this stuff but she wants me to use it. My gut tells me doubtfully success, but has anyone had any experience with it?

I would say with the things that can be done with it it's still a very fun car, it just handles so so well that it has no fear factor.
