A trip report from an EOS Flight back in 2005

I did take a trip on Eos Airlines (EO) from London-Standsted (STN) to New York (JFK) on October 23, 2005. Here is a look at it.

Watch that second checked bag starting today May 1, 2008

It stands to reason that I should mention the new second baggage fees on U.S. domestic flights starts today, May 1, 2008.

USA 3000 kicked off the $25 fee for a second bag today and on May 5, 2008, most of the major U.S. airlines will start charging $25 for taking a second checked bag on your U.S. domestic flight. There are some exemptions based on Elite Frequent flyer status, etc., so please read the baggage policies for additional details. Also, there is still a weight limit on those bags usually up to 50lbs.

This weekend's trip

Umm...I'm thinking of heading to the Netherlands to see some friends there this weekend on Saturday and then head to London or Bristol to see others on Sunday.

So the plan is to go to Amsterdam tomorrow at 7:15p.

no camera and no computer

So the camera and the computer are both sent out to be fixed. Ouch when I get the bill for them :-(.

In the interim, I need a computer and a camera for travel...

Oh, and my phone is broken as well, I'll be getting a new one next week; Nokia or a HTC, not sure which.
