When your mind runs

When I had visions of having to hotfoot it from Terminal 5 to 3 and stand in a check-in queue.

While all the time worrying that four hours layover wouldn’t be long enough to get through customs.

And what if the plane ran late?

Of course when the first leg of your trip is a 6.55 red eye and you’ve got to the airport at midnight then there’s plenty of time to fret.

Particularly when you’ve been prompted on your phone to check in as soon as the 24-hour window opened up.

The last leg

The first two parts negotiated, inevitably the last part trips you up.

Because American Airlines won’t accept your request if they’re not the sole carrier on your booking (me neither)!

Of course being the man who invented the notion of the accidental traveller it wasn’t the first thing to trip me up.

And a holidos and don’ts tip here… don’t put your suitcase in the overhead rack on the train.

Because if you’re fixating on the online check-in that won’t go through you might just forget it.

Luggage overheads

Which, of course, some random wise guy smilingly stopped me on the platform to laugh at my expense.

After I’d run back to the stationed train to retrieve it.

Now whatever mishap may befall you on your travels take heart that someone is sure to have been there before you.

And that was brought home to me when clutching my suitcase close to me on the airport coach I looked up.

And saw a sign saying ‘remember to take all your luggage with you.’

Now my own suitcase will have had an adventure of its own.

Before hopefully we are reunited later today in San Antonio.

Not tempting fate because I’ve been here before in Denver and in Munich at the start of my Greek Odyssey.

But so far I can report that this edition of Holidos and don’ts is ticketyboo.

 

 

And this time nobody is here to hold my hand but so far so better as my holidos and don’ts is ticketyboo.

When I say I don’t have a wet nurse here to mop up en route to Texas that would diminish some real troopers.

The one I leave home too often and the two women who arrange this journos’ jamboree every year around America.

Often too there are those who put you at ease along the way.

Holiday herograms

Such as Amy at British Airways check-in at Edinburgh Airport and when was the last time you asked them their name?

Or better still pop off a herogram to their bosses on your return.

But Amy put my mind at ease by running me through why I hadn’t been able to check in for the last and shortest leg of my trip.

The two-hour flight from Chicago O’Hare to San Antonio International.

By reassuring me that it was standard fare and that they were just running through some checks.

Before giving me three printed boarding passes (Edinburgh-London, London-Chicago and Chicago-San Antonio).
