Thread: Baggage for Buddy Pass

I don't think you'll get activated until reaching ATL due to the time between flights. Never having to check luggage, that's something new to me. If they won't put your bags through, you'll have plenty to do--getting bags and checking in for GIG, ridiing the train, etc.
Wondering why you are leaving so early am? There are plenty of seats on 12:20 flt # 1990 to ATL.
If you do go early and have to retrieve and keep your bags you can call Comfort Inn North (south is very grubby) and get a day room. I can't be much--DL discount rate is around $50 overnight. You can explain you're buddy, not employee because they ask for ID. 404-768-7800 decent pool, wine/beer store walking distance and good mexican restaurant and business center/computer. make sure you have the MIN 2 hours to check in--it's such a disaster at times and you know how those Brasilians have tons of bags and love to carry lotsa stuff on the plane!!
Good news is 30+ seats open up front and you're positioned top third. Hope you do something reallly nice for your friend--her seniority is great for you!

Hopefully, I will be basking in the sun at Hacienda Tres Rios in the Riviera Maya, so you're at the mercy of someone else to ck flights! Swine flu be damned!! If Delta is flying, I'm going!

Now that&#39;s the spirit M767, you go for it.
Just got back into town and LAX is really pulling out all the stops. Because of the "swine flu" outbreak, custodians are sanitiszing door knobs, handrails and faucets. I hardly recognized the place.

Since my flight has a connection in Atlanta, what am I supposed to do once I get to ATL? My first flight arrives there at 10am and I leave at 9pm later that day. It sucks but for the price I can&#39;t complain. Once I get to the airport what am I supposed to do?[/b]

If you&#39;ve never been to Atlanta, it may be worth it to go downtown and see the sights. I was there for the first time about 6 weeks ago, and loved it (but maybe I just had to get out of the midwest ). Very nice city, and you can get downtown from the airport with no problem on MARTA, the light-rail train. You could make a day going to Coke World, Centennial Olympic Park, Underground Atlanta, and the CNN center. Then again, I&#39;m definitely a wanderer, day-trips like those were a weird hobby for me.
