I do give Southwest Airlines credit for being consistent and reliable. My early morning jaunt from Burbank to Las Vegas on a 737-700 was predictably smooth, albeit somewhat depressing.
As I have for the last 20+ years when I’ve flown Southwest, I dutifully checked in right at the 24-hour check-in window in order to get an “A” boarding group (I could not justify paying extra for A 1-15 priority boarding). I landed with A45…good enough.
When I fly out of Burbank on a day trip, I park at the Metrolink (commuter rail) station and walk over to the airport (just across Empire Avenue). July turned out to be extremely mild in Southern California and it was a cool and cloudy morning.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
