Flights of fancy

Interesting couple of things on the Alaska Airlines trip down.

They’re hawking credit cards that give you mileage – in the aisles, in flight. That’s new, or at least new to me. Hadn’t heard that before. Anybody else heard of such on any other airline?

As the movie houses have, for years, gone to commercial messages pre movie, so apparently now go the airlines. Only – we can’t run out to the lobby.

The other – flight 592 from Seattle to San Francisco last night arrived 10 minutes early, at about 7:50 p.m. (after leaving Seattle five minutes early, according to Alaska's Web site). Then comes the announcement that this flight, destined next for Palm Springs, would be leaving a bit earlier than planned from San Francisco. Earlier? Never heard that one before either. So, passengers, continuing on, heads up. Linger a little too long in that chili-dog line and you and your heartburn could be left behind.
