Hello Mike,


Now I am going to have to figure out which tools they still let you
take on board. Calling the airline won't help because they won't have
the foggiest idea what I am talking about when I say FET probe, and I
don't want to give up $2k worth of gear at security.


Maybe ship it UPS next day delivery to avoid the hassle and risk?


Too late for that :-(


Buta that's a good question. Please let us know how you manage to get it
through security.


I'll see what we have or can get locally. I don't want to have $$$ of
stuff confiscated and thrown into that big barrel.


You would think that UPS or Fedex would have set up booths at
airports to handle forwarding for travelers by now.


Concession fees would probably require a huge upfront and by the time
you are in the green travelers will have wised up and biz would slowly
fizzle.

The guys having a field day are the food stands. They already have the
concession and can now ask all the money they want for a bottle of water.


You just have to plan ahead.

When my wife and I have an extended trip back East we ship our clothes
ahead to our hotel by UPS, then likewise ship the dirty clothes back.

It's much cheaper than excess baggage fees, plus you don't have to
struggle through airports with lots of baggage.

For the left coast, we just drive... takes less time to drive than fly
PHX to ONT.


This one is SMF to LAX, too far to drive. Takes eight hours. I wish we
had those bullet trains like they have in Europe or Japan. They'd whisk
you over in under four hours. And on the way back from a client one can
scoot over to the restaurant car and have a brewsky. Sometimes even a
real one, not supermarket stuff in a can.

Try Southwest, SMF to ONT, or to Burbank or maybe even Orange County.
(I fly the SMF to ONT route about monthly for my work.)

LAX is kinda busy...

Good luck,
