Beat the crowd and check-in online. That initial contact with the sky cap dude can be the make it or break it for the rest of your trip (or not in this case - keep reading). He immediately swooped me off the curb and over to his counter. A couple of clicks later, I was on my way to the gate.
I appreciate organization and efficiency and being one of the first ones to jump in line is my idea of a possible A+ "yelp." And checked in bags are free!
I can't say whether the flight attendants were on their game or pleasant on my flight home because the captain halted the beverage service due to "turbulence" all the way home. I needed a drink as I had a drunk sitting next to us and it was contagious. Turbulence was during take off and right before landing. I understand that safety comes first, but they had more than enough time to serve it up and get back to being buckled up - there was not turbulence throughout the whole flight.
Before I could really begin to think about it, we were already getting ready to land.
