Holiday week travel: Brace for more of it

If you travel frequently on business we know where you will probably be next week. At home, avoiding the madness that the Thanksgiving weekend brings. The Air Transport Association trade group expects a 4 percent increase in passengers in the 12 days from this weekend through the holiday period. Read more about the forecast here.

I just returned from a week-long trip to Paris on US Airways. I want to report that everything really went very well, which is to say uneventfully. Even though the outbound flight was late due to traffic, the crews were friendly, the bags came in a reasonable time, and I have no complaints. My husband takes this flight three or four times a year and this is usually his experience. The customs and immigration officers were also polite and friendly. One odd note: in Paris they board people needing assistance first, but then there is general boarding without rows or zones. Despite this, we still left early. I stayed with relatives so I can’t make hotel comments now.

I hate to tell you this, but the Philadelphia Airport has a lousy reputation in the airline business. Southwest pilots hate to fly into Philly because there are ALWAYS delays, in and out. The last time I flew to Philly I had to wait four hours for a ground control delay, the time before that - I was diverted to Pittsburg. The location is wonderful, but with water on all sides, they can't expand. So why don't they build a train system to the Atlantic City International and forget about the Philly airport?
