Where do you keep it? front packet just jangling around?Right front pocket. I love carrying around change. I really enjoy using it. Like when something costs $15.81, I give the cashier $20.81 and get a nice $5 bill back instead of a messy $4.19. My kids find it disturbing but I like it. I’m left front pocket. It’s so much easier in Europe getting something at stand on the street/train station with coins than trying to unfold bills.

Question for people who fly a lot: are their airlines out there that suck less than American? Seems like all the connections available for intl flights from the middle of KS are with AA but man, they just seem to have this generally hostile attitude toward their customers (maybe it is b/c I am a n00b traveler). We used Alaska Airlines once for a trip to the PNW and all their staff seemed really nice and helpful (plus they sponsor the Huskies sweet football field).
i like dfw quite a bit. most places we fly we connect through lax, sfo or dfw and dfw is by far the best of those.
Is DFW termy D still the place to be? A young Wetwillie loved grabbing a mimosa during his layover in Termy D.
Flying through atl is better than dfw/ord

Lol. Love you, bud!
CTL needs to be completely rebuilt. It's being called on to do what it was never designed to do. Like the majority of the infrastructure in the Carolinas.
IMO none of the non-budget airlines are really different. You'll deal with great people or shitty people depending on the situation both you and the people you're dealing with are in. Especially connecting on an international from Kansas, I definitely wouldn't pay more to like use United or Delta instead of American or something if the total travel time is similar. Just not worth it.
Delta stopped giving almost any points if you weren't paying for travel costs. But I always loved flying Delta. It's tough to beat free TV. Or maybe everyone offers that, I don't know, I haven't turned my Capital One points into flights yet.
