Airport Pickups Are Such A Pain!
You know the drill, you promise to pick somebody up at the airport, but things always go wrong . . . flight's delayed . . . flight's early . . . it's never easy.
Wouldn't it be great if you just call the pilots of His Holiness' plane inbound from Havana and tell them to, you know, circle around North Carolina a couple times, so that you can pick him up at Andrews without having to wait in the cell lot . . . |

I use Flightware (dot com) it actually shows on a map where the flight is and any pertinent information. Better information than the airlines provide (and sometimes the airlines lie gasp.)

I refuse to baby sit or pick up friends from the airport. My friends are always stunned when I say NO without any hesitation, but there are limits.

Kramer: So how we doin' on time?
George: We're perfect. I timed this out so we would pull up at the terminal *exactly* 17 minutes after their flight is supposed to land. That gives them just enough time to get off the plane, pick up their bags and be walking *out* of the terminal as we roll up. I tell you, it's a thing of beauty. I can not express to you the feeling I get from a perfect airport pickup. Kramer: Um, George... Did you say "perfect"? George: What's going on? What are you doing? The Long Island Expressway? What are you getting on the Long Island Expressway for? Do you know what the traffic will be like? This is a suicide mission! Kramer: Will you relax?! George: Oh, I had it perfectly timed out: the Grand Central, the Van Wyck! You destroyed my whole timing! |
