      The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

        Ya'll have any routines on flights? Nap before wheels up? Movie? Work? I fly April 6 for my quarterly trip to DC for work, I normally have aspirations of watching a show or movie (MSP to DCA is a nice "movie flight", just over 2 hours) but I almost always put on some ASMR and fall asleep before wheels up. Maybe it's also because I'm a tired dad, lol.

        I always try (and fail) to sleep, maybe I'll cat-nap if I'm really lucky. Generally I'll read and/or watch a movie. I never work.

        I was only joking

          I sleep and/or listen to podcasts. If it’s an overnight flight I’ll use some pharmacological assistance. Every once in a while I’ll watch a movie. Definitely so if it’s coast to coast or returning from Europe.

            I leave tomorrow from the US. And yes, I will arrive way too early (just in case). But that is okay. I have a good book. LOL

                  Me either. Not sure if I'm jealous or judge-y of people who work. I think judge-y. I could actually work and get paid per hour, but there's something about the lure of falling asleep that is much more valuable!

                    I have a 10am flight from JFK to Hong Kong on Friday (connecting on to Bangkok). I can only get there so early because Cathay Pacific doesn’t open their baggage check until 6. So we’ll get there a little before 6, check our bags, get in line for security at 6:15 or so and hope for the best.

                    Mayla never qualified for Clear or PreCheck until she got her green card a couple months ago and we didn’t get it yet in the little time we’ve had. So it’s the long line for us.

                    It's nice having gray hair. My wife starts walking with a limp and I look at the ceiling, bark and drool and they let us through the handicap gate no questions asked.

                      I thought about that but I’m sore that’s a multi hour wait too from all the people who figured out they can feign a broken foot and ‘skip’ the line.

                      I’ve gone through the wheelchair method before when I was really sick. It was pretty slow overall in normal circumstances even through you skip the security line. You go to a waiting area, wait in line for a clerk who enters your info into a system, then sit and wait for your guide. Can’t imagine how busy that system is during these times.
