Pics-The flights from hell: 24 hours to get from JAX to LAX

[Peripat]

Was there a reason for this delay?

I wouldn't be flying Continental again, if I were you... but I do admit it's been 15 years since I had my unfortunate experience with them, and PERHAPS they've improved...

by the sounds of this flight, though, maybe not.

Thanks for the pics.

CO has made a huge improvement over 15 years ago.

They'd want to. Maybe the demise of Pam Am gave them the good kick up the bum they needed.

Jan 2004, eh? that's interesting because i flew out of the E-terminal in June 2003...it was the first day of operation. only one concourse was open, but it was definitely the E-term.

You are correct, the first phase did open around that time, the rest of it opened in Jan '04.

The terminal E you flew out of was probably the interim gates they put up while the real E was being constructed.

nothing interim about the e-term that i was in. looks identical to the picture he posted with the pappadeaux sign. actually, my gate was near that sign. their was a starbucks on the corner, a golf shop, etc...like i said, nothing interim about it. they opened the e-term one concourse at a time. makes sense to me.

they just finished testing on the TerminaLink to E, also. That should definitely be open by year's end.... maybe sooner.

I was a freshman in highschool what else can I say?

I'm gonna be one in August!

You say that like we should be suprised?

Umm..

I guess it's just hard to hear emphAsis over the internet :P

Looks like my humorless shadow is talking again. Damn, and I thought my sister is bad...

[thunderball'65]

Look whose talking. At least he doesnt have an ego. Hes virtually humble.
