Neverending MBRO memory thread

[joevol33]

Can you tell from your reservations which Charlotte gate you’ll land at, and which one you’ll take off from? I’ve had many a sprint through that airport, mainly because the CLT->AVL flights use puddle-jumpers that have their own gates (E terminal.)

See if you can figure it out tonight. You can arrange for a free golf cart (more like golf minibus) if it’s going to be tight. And they don’t hold flights. Charlotte flights are at the mercy of Air Traffic Control slots, and when they say it’s time for a flight to leave, it had better leave then and there.

She thinks T11, it's what it's showing. May be in Atlanta though.

I hate flying through Atlanta. I have sat on the runway in Memphis for an hour due to ATL being backed up and missed my connection.

Then I was hungover on the next flight because I drank in the airport for hours. This may have happened more than once.

They used to say, back when ATL was THE hub, that when you die in the South, whether you’re headed to heaven or hell, you have to go through Atlanta.

I've heard ATL was awful

Maybe so. Charlotte terminals are A through E. A, B, C are pretty much together, then there’s D, then waaaay the heck on down there (it involves an escalator, how special) is E.

They do have lots of peoplemovers or whatever we call the things like escalators that stay on one level. You can just ride along or you can hustle instead (“ ‘Scuse me, ‘scuse me, ‘scuse me...”)

I gotta get a little sleep

But these people won't go to bed

I gotta get a little sleep

Get some sleep, it is against the law to sleep on a plane.

I'll probably be too nervous

Never know.
He might be in the doghouse by mornin', and Tiffany will just put him in a suitcase.

Money saving idea right there.

 

[joevol33]

Gonna try to nap.

 

[joevol33]

Sweet dreams, I'm out

 

[NorCalVol67]

May you have bears on a plane dreams.

 

[joevol33]

I didn't!

 

[joevol33]

4 minutes till boarding time. I may pee myself

 

[Tin Man]

Fair skies and favorable winds, Joe.

 

[joevol33]

@VolNExile we going to gate E in Charlotte

 

[tnuhcvols]

[NorCalVol67]

 

[joevol33]

E13 Exie!

 

[joevol33]

I may try to nap this time

 

[VolNExile]

E13 Exie!

Oh boy!

If you’re not already there, be prepared to hustle to the next gate, but you’ll make it. Ask the gate agent when you land in Charlotte for help if you need to. If you have a $5 on you and the give you two a ride, I always tip

 

[VolNExile]

Oh boy, terminal E. On about half my flights there, the plane has been too small to use the jet bridge. Instead, we climb down the rolling stairs to the tarmac and walk into the building. I actually enjoy it if my knee isn’t acting up. Ah, the smell of Jet A fuel in the morning!
