i have an 8:13 am flight out of o'hare this morning.
as a result of yesterday's changes to carry-on policies, i spent some time researching what i can and cannot take on the plane this morning. joe sent me a lot of good information as well.
american airlines advised, per aa.com, that until 9/1/06, ticket change and excess baggage fees would be waived.
my bag was 3.5 lbs over this morning ... no doubt due to what i had to check rather than carry-on. the ticket agent asked me to pony up my $25. when i advised her that american had waived the fee, we had to get every supervisor on the floor involved.
i prevailed.
if you're traveling in the imminent future, take the time to read what the TSA & the airlines are asking of passengers.
it only took me 30 minutes (at 6 am) to check my bag and get through security. no drama at all.

Please tell me tweezers are still ok. Nobody would want me to visit them if I couldn't have tweezers or deoderant. Have a safe flight! Mimi's godmother is flying in right now from St. Louis. She got to the airport at 10 and the flight leaves at 2. I can't wait to hear about it!
tweezers are fine. :-) i've never had a problem. that would be cruel.
i hope k's flight was uneventful. :-)
