kitewithfishIn a horrifying twist, Logan Airport no longer seems to offer free wireless internet. It certainly did the last time I flew, this summer.
This begs the question, of course- how are you online, then? There is temporary free wireless, sponsored by some company who will not garner the free press that mentioning them here would give them, and this is really, really quite annoying. I thought Logan was one of the last free wireless airport holdouts, but it appears to have gone over to the dark side.
So, as you might have guessed, I am headed back to the Windy City and the new quarter before me. Huzzah!
In another move of cunning, my overpacked bag weighed exactly 50 pounds, the limit for bags without having to pay an additional overweight charge.
Random thought- wouldn't it be better for the airlines to stop charging for baggage, and thus encourage more people to check luggage and thus make it easier to get things through the security check? I wonder if there would be some federal money for this....

Air Canada did this after the pantsbomber kerfuffle forced them to require that all carry-on baggage be thoroughly hand-screened pre-boarding. I think both provisions have since expired.
