Reply #3: I'm sidetracked by wondering [View All]

just how long that flight would be? What would it cost? How about in first class?

But unless I were actually in need of such a flight, I can't see bothering to pester the DOT when surely they have more important things to worry about, such as whether or not I can take my contact lens solution on board, or if I can bring a book with me to while away the tedium of flying anywhere.

Back in May I was able to bring my embroidery with me on a trip from Kansas City to Traverse City, Michigan (changing planes in Detroit) and at every point along the way, people stopped to marvel that I was being allowed to bring embroidery scissors and sharp needles on board. Guess I won't be able to that again for several more years.
