I’m traveling this weekend, so cross your fingers that US Airways doesn’t need to pull its 737s out of service. But I’m flying out of Baltimore-Washington International tomorrow at 6 am. From Washington, there are no early-morning transit options on weekends, so I’m going up to the airport tonight and crashing there. For that, I have The Budget Traveller’s Guide to Sleeping in Airports, originally created by Donna McSherry, to thank. (Isn’t the Internet great?) The reviews posted there indicate that as recently as 2007, there is an observation gallery with couches where travelers can rest undisturbed by security staff. I also note that BWI has a number of five-star reviews, so I’m looking forward to a great nap.
American Airlines travelers may want to consult the Sleeping in Airports guides for DFW and ORD for the remainder of their ordeal.
Anyone else think we should chip in for a SuperShuttle ride? I mean, what’s that – $30?
Ha! Thanks, Cranky — maybe I need a tip jar around here
With all the money Cranky is raking in, he could more than afford to spring for your $30 Super Shuttle ride, Evan. And there’s always a spare futon in my basement and a ride to BWI when you need it.
