One of my great joys in life is going to the airport. There’s that security line everyone knows we’ve got to wait in before entering terminals. You never know how long it will be, so it’s very exciting to finally see it and get in line. Then, the line moves very slowly. The best part is when someone begins craning their neck, barking at no one in particular and with no hope of affecting the pace of the line, starts with the, “what’s going on?”, “this is ridiculous!”, “they need to get more workers!” routine. It’s just the best part of travel. So excited to fly to some PJ shows to be around that guy at airports.
I see we've been in the same security line together. I want you to know that I see the eye rolls...and it hurts my feelings.

I enjoy your humor. Let's be friends.
PS. this same traveling fella will then proceed to the gate where he will completely forget that his mobile device has a microphone and speak at an absurdly loud volume to impress everyone with his "important" business call.
One of the great joys in my life is going to McDonalds and choosing the drive through lane that never moves, while the cars that got there long after you in the other lane order their food first. Sitting and watching those other cars go by is such a thrill. I know eventually the McDonalds attendant will remember my lane exists so I don't fret. It is my fault for choosing the wrong lane.
Have a great day everyone!
I play the same game any time I go to Walmart....which is why I rarely go to WalMart.

The crazy of this thread is rubbing off - I just booked hotels for Nashville and St Louis. I was going to book the hotel right across from the Enterprise Center, as I've stayed there before, and the location can't be beat, but it's changed ownership, and looks a little run down (reviews back this up).
What day did you book for St Louis? The dates I have heard mentioned most is the 16th and 18th. Never mind, I went ahead and booked a room for both nights.
Booked for both. Figure I can cancel/change if needed.
I am done booking rooms that are not refundable. The extra $15-20 for a refundable room is worth not having to worry if something comes up. I had non refundable rooms in STL and OKC in 2020, and after some work was able to get refunds for both. I am not doing that again.
Yeah, I only go non-refundable when I KNOW I'm going to a place, and these days, it's harder and harder to have that certainty. Even if I was booking after the announcement, I'd still be booking refundable rates.
"I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done]. Some folks just have one, others they got none..."
I really think that after the announcement, everyone in this thread need to remain friends and keep in touch.

I spent years of my life flying hundreds of thousands of miles a year to get priority boarding, lounge access, priority luggage tags, the works, and it's worth every damn penny every single time I fly into the living nightmare that is Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Ditto Nexus. $50 is worth one faster crossing, and you get it for five years.

Just to clarify my post from a couple weeks ago. My msg source does not get back to me right away, and I’m not going to keep asking him. He told me multiple holds later in the year. I said November on this thread because that was the original rumor. So it’s looking like September. Just hoping there’s more than 1 date with the term “multiple holds” being used.
If Toronto is 9/7, they don’t need to make MSG Fri 9/9 and Sat 9/10 in order to sell out, it could be Monday and Tuesday and it still would. Also, if they play Camden Yards, that HAS to be a weekend night right? I’m all over the place here. Just hoping for more added dates than just reschedules
As the current MLB calendar stands, Orioles are away from home Thu 8/11 - Thu 8/18, Fri 8/26 - Thu 9/1, and Mon 9/12 - Sun 9/18.
If a Camden Yards show (or shows?) could take place, those are the windows I would think are most feasible.

Without even hesitating. If I knew I could pay $50/flight for priority check-in/security/boarding/luggage tagging I wouldn't even pause. It's worth it anywhere, and it's especially worth it at Pearson - priority bag tags can literally save you an hour at that place.

For someone that flies a couple of times a year what do you recommend? I have never looked at this stuff before and likely have some short layovers I am a bit worried about for the PJ tour. Is it just as simple as getting Nexus? PM if you want to keep it out of the thread.

I have TSA Pre and I only fly 2-3 times a year and it's still very much worth it.
