merry day after christmas! :)

in sunny southern california...after being in the snow, it just doesn't seem like christmas (aside from the mobs of people at the mall buying oodles of stuff)...palm trees with lights on them just don't do it for me.

on wednesday, i'm flying out of LAX and back to buffalo. then driving to waterloo...dad asked me to look on the computer to find out how early we have to be at the airport. my flight is at 8:15am...so, how many hours before that do i need to arrive?

simple question, eh? one hour? two? twelve?

so, i looked it up on LAX's website.

here's what i found, in the FAQ section:

How early should I be at the airport before a flight?

Enhanced federally mandated security measures are in place at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The new measures require travelers to be aware of changes in baggage check-in and security screening. They also require extra travel time. Please call your airline to confirm your flight before going to the airport and to receive its recommendation on when you should arrive at the airport. Flight schedules vary throughout the day and, in general, flights scheduled during LAX's daily peak travel periods when more flights are scheduled (6:30 am to 9:00 am for domestic flights, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm for domestic and international flights) will require passengers to allot more time for ticketing, baggage check-in and security screening. An entire paragraph of text, and they DON'T TELL YOU HOW EARLY YOU SHOULD BE AT THE AIRPORT BEFORE THE FLIGHT. wasn't that the question? hello??!! a person may take all this effort into looking up the website and they won't even find what they are looking for. useless. pfft.
