Maybe 2009 will be a great year for partnership between the air carriers and their passengers. It's New Year's Eve, so I can hope! Happy 2009!

There's am mind set that I have at airports, I call it "Airport Zen." I love the hustle and bustle and if the airport has free wi-fi (I refuse to pay the outrageous boingo fees) all the better. I enjoy eating in the shops and admiring the sense of people coming together. It really makes a difference to feel this way when delays happen. This is such good advice.
