Flight wise, the direct flight options from Mobile are Dallas, Atlanta, Washington Dulles, Charlotte, and Houston. So if you're not trying to kill a full day traveling, then areas outside those cities would be your weekend spots. Maybe Virginia would be a good getaway flying to Dulles and then driving west into the mountains?

I picked the bucs, I'll find out tomorrow morning if I'm still in I guess. Picked the lions last week, I should've known this would come down to the end again :lol:

Radar does not look good around the Tampa area, storms only building up right now

Punt return for a td Kansas

Gainesville Recommendations

Posted by CuseTiger on 9/11/26 at 8:39 pm
My friend and I were chatting about going to see other college football teams in their stadiums so we're driving up to Gainesville tomorrow to go watch UF take on the Campbell Fighting Camels. For $25, we figured this is a much better option to see a game rather than paying $150+ for tickets to two teams we really don't care about. Making a trip out of it and going to golf Sunday at Juliette Falls in Dunnellon, should be a solid quick weekend trip.

Have a few questions-
1. Best place to park for UF game?
2. Good sports bar in Gainesville that will potentially have on OSU vs Texas tomorrow evening?
3. Breakfast spot for Sunday morning?
4. What's worse- Wearing an FSU, Miami, or LSU shirt to walk around campus? I have an orange Syracuse polo I'm probably going with to be safe, at least the orange will blend in with UF colors.

Thanks :cheers:

Not anymore, FL now

I often check fares out of LFT to compare to BTR and MSY. It's not really any cheaper than BTR and never cheaper than MSY

Not sure if it was because of the game in baton rouge this past weekend, but it was several hundred dollars cheaper to fly to LFT for me than BTR or MSY

Lafayette Airport (LFT)

Who has flown out of this airport recently? It's been about 10 years since I've been here and good Lord, this is nice. When were all the renovations done? Easy rental car return, tons of seats and outlets before security, nice bathrooms, etc. They did a great job with this airport
Good morning from baton rouge :gmt:. Headed to campus in a bit, should be great out there today

Flight from Atlanta to Lafayette was oversold by 3, now flying to Jackson MS. Any lunch spots near JAN airport or between Jackson and BR?

Morning y'all. At the airport waiting on a flight to ATL and then Lafayette, going to BR for the game tomorrow
I'm in agreement with the comments about flying in the night before or take the connection through Charlotte or Miami thanksgiving morning. I would not risk a 3 hr layover on thanksgiving day in the afternoon/evening especially changing airports and before an international flight. NYC has the macy's day parade so it's usually busy in the city that day. Throw in any weather or wind delays and you're in for a mess.

Also, a 3 hr connection is not even legal per expertflyer, minimum 4 hrs

Neurologist, cardiologist, ENT, dermatologist, orthopedist, podiatrist, etc. Figure out if something is bothering you and go make an appt with the doctor. Maybe physical therapy, chiropractor, blood work? I hit my deductible after an ER visit two years ago and think I saw most of those docs

If your carry on bag is too long to fit in the overhead bin with either the wheels or the handle facing the isle, you should be forced to check it

If airlines didn't charge $45 each way for a bag, more people would check a bag. I'm now on team 'I'm bringing my bag with me to the plane and will cause a delay in boarding if they need to gate check it because they're turning into greedy airlines and I don't feel like waiting 30-45 minutes at baggage claim.'

As soon as airlines started charging for bags the boarding and overhead bin experience turned into a shitshow

Big ski bag, put skis, poles, helmet, and boots in there along with ski clothes. Keep it under 50 lbs, take carryon with ski pants, one change of ski clothes, goggles, etc. Or you can get a carryon boot bag for your personal item that way you're only checking your skis

The incoming might have been severely delayed and AA had another plane they could put into service.

That's what I read. Any plane flying from Ohare late in the day tends to get delayed so I am a little surprised AA has the same number for ORD-PHX and again PHX-ORD. They're both hubs so pretty easy for AA to just swap planes if the inbound is delayed given the return is the redeye. I'm aware of the usual 'Put a letter at the end of the call sign' trick to make one flight slightly different from another.

I don't know if it was on 8/12, but this timing fits. Inbound flight left ORD late and landed in PHX at 1213am. LINK
Return flight PHX-ORD left PHX at 1141pm and in the air by 1159pm LINK

Follow up question- Does AA or the other airlines like DL/UA have enough room in their flight numbers to give every flight their own number? I'd guess yes but I wouldn't know until looking at all flight totals
Fyi there are some decent winter sales going on right now during ski time. Nola to Anchorage for $331 roundtrip LINK, Denver Christmas week for $226 LINK, Bozeman for $249 LINK. Get em while they last!
One thing is January is prime summer season in New Zealand. I'd aim for there over spain/Portugal just for the month you're going
