Jump to postIn all honesty, I'm glad the <acronym title="Cebu Pacific Air (Philippines)">5J</acronym> 9's are being replaced.

Jump to postThanks guys. Exiting the secured area and then re-entering is no problem. I'm just trying to avoid taking the AirTrain.

Jump to postA lot! You figure clearance has to be made from metering to ground to tower to eventually departure.

Jump to postWell it's been more than 24 hours later and the site now appears to be down. Perhaps they are rectifying the problem at this moment.

Read the book "Nuts" and you'll get a better underastanding of WN's philosophy. It's written by Herb Kelleher, WN's President.

Oh man, I remember coming home from work early on 9.11 and following what's been going on on that day through the forums on A.Net (among other places). Unfortunately, I certainly remember that thread very well.

Jump to postWow, it seems like it was just yesterday that I kept hearing news about ATA's new livery, new planes and new focus.
I hope its employees become more truly committed that ever.

Jump to postCsavel,
The departure tax in Manila (and assumingly in Peru) is not handled by immigration officers... it's a seperate line just for departure taxes, usually after check-in and before imig and is handled by non-imig airport employees.
Uh oh... this doesn't look good at all.

Jump to postWell most (if not all) of the countries I've been to has required me to pass through immigrations and turn in exit forms along with a stamp on my passport. After check-in, immigration follows right after. The US however, does not have immigration counters upon exit. If there are any forms to be turn...

Jump to postI can see how it's easy to assume that <acronym title="Anchorage - Ted Stevens International (ANC / PANC), USA - Alaska">ANC</acronym> has more heavy 747 traffic due to most planes landing there being cargo planes.
