Procrastination

I guess it serves me right. I have been planning on flying John down to South Carolina next weekend with one of my free tickets from Delta. I called them today to make the reservation.

Seems I should have called last weekend - Delta makes you call 14 days in advance. I have been spoiled by Southwest, who lets me use one of those free flights anytime I want to!

So, I had to go look up good rates, and found the best at Expedia.com.

And it will cost more to fly from KC to Columbia S.C. than it cost me to fly to England.

Sigh.

Comments

I'd post a comment, but it would appear that each time I do, someone else pops in with his two-cents-worth. I wasn't recommending a Poncho Liner in that previous post, merely querying why someone had not suggested it. And I offered the suggestion of the Softie 3 Merlin because it is a superior product, and worthy of you; someone should have understood that, instead of lamely referencing his ad-hoc exterior garment.
However, in this problem of costly air tickets, could you register him as a dependent (though large despite his attested age)?

tee hee. I think his five o'clock shadow would give him away as not being an infant in arms.
For some reason, it is more expensive for me to fly to South Carolina than just about any other place I've been - it's just about twice as much as it costs to fly to California, Nevada, Michigan, etc.

Argghhh! Being completely unable to resist, at least my two cents is worth more than your two cents! Neener neener neener!

And besides, given my general level of maturity, I spent most of my adult life as an infant-in-arms. Or under arms, at any rate.

Whoa, if the keyboard had stuttered, you'd have been in-fan-try!
