South-WORST?!?

Well, I’m on my way to Indianapolis for LGBA’s Experience the Music event. I’m really looking forward to spending the weekend with some of my fellow band geeks and get to know the Indy Board of Directors a bit better.

In order to get there, I found a cheap flight from Baltimore to Indy on Southwest. I haven’t flown Southwest since going to Gay Days at Disney last summer, but I don’t know why not.

Minus the 45 minute drive to BWI from my house (without traffic at 10:30AM), the experience has been great. The check-in line was quick. The lady who checked me in was sassy and funny (and offered to sell me a seat so that I wouldn’t have to check my French Horn) and the security line – well, I was it. There was no line.

Now, I’m sitting at my gate in these WONDERFUL chairs charging up my laptop. Southwest at BWI has finally figured out what the traveling public needs – comfy chairs and power ports. I don’t know why everyone at every other airport in the country has a problem with this. And to put the cherry on top of this sundae of a trip: my flight is on-time. When was the last time that happened?

Now for what will probably show to be the jinx of the trip - the new boarding process. I will admit, I'm not sure I understand it yet, but come 12:55 I guess I'll have to figure it out.
