Will you ever fly again?

Most of us who live here in the DC area use BWI more than the other two airports.

My daughter flew up for Mother’s Day. There was zero spacing between people and very, very few had face masks nor gloves on. The plane was packed. An elderly woman behind my daughter asked about how full the plane was and was told by a flight attendant, I don’t make the rules, if uncomfortable, you can get off the plane.”

Exactly right. There will be new rules in place come June 1st by most of the major airlines. I read about these changes in the paper and also on CBS news.

I have flown in and out of BWI. Very busy during peak hours. They definitely need to expand their terminal. They should also update their ground radar. They are still using stuff from the ‘80’s.
 
I have a fixed wing, single and double engine license. I used to enjoy flying into BWI, but they locked us out. I owned my own Cessna at one time, but maintenance and storage costs got out of hand. I don’t miss it and I let my license lapse.
 
The absolute only reason that I would ever fly again is if something terrible befell my granddaughter in California. My last trip was coming back from Italy, just prior to 9-11. Hopefully, I won't ever need to be airborne again!
 
Yes, but not anytime soon. I was supposed to flown home from Scotland last week had Covid19 not turned the world catawampus.

I was a regular flyer CMH to LAX or SAN. Only advantages was getting to know the flight crew. “Oh, it’s you again”. SAN is a dangerous airport to land. Ugh, mountains East and north..Winds off the ocean, the city landscape right there!!!! And John Wayne with the short runways and noise abatements. I always opted for LAX and would drive to SD if necessary.

Its been 3 years. I miss Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and Santa Monica......but no desire to fly there anymore. I’m happy with my quick, same time zone, 2 hour direct Southwest to Fort Myers.

I never liked taking off from National. It always made me nervous.

But the landing following the Potomac River was pretty.

I was working in Rosslyn when they lifted the building height restrictions (they had it low so as to keep the skyline view from the DC side uncluttered.) The USA Today building was the first tall one built (8-10 stories, as I recall.) Workers said they could look out their office windows and see the faces of the plane passengers as they flew down the river to the airport!!!
 
Yes, it is a Southwest hub, and I only use Southwest anyway. Their fares are lower than the other two airports, also.
