Day Trip to LAX

Southwest Airlines is amazing. Maybe not every flight, but the concept is great. My wife earned a companion pass from the Chase card, so we are looking for fun trip ideas. We decided to jump on a cheap fare SFO-LAX and back later that day. Our itinerary gave us 9 hours on the ground, but we booked with points, so we could cancel without fees if there was a long delay.

Great for a Quick Hop

We got a rental car and had a great time looking at art and eating at local favorites. We had enough time even with LA's bad traffic and Budget's slow service.

I'd recommend our itinerary to anyone.

• The Peterson Automotive Museum: home to an amazing collection or motorized art.
• Carney's: best hot dogs west of the Rockies.
• The Getty: amazing space and a good collection of paintings.
• Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles: get the #13, breast and a waffle. The Inglewood location is close to the rental car drop offs and next to a gas station.

Win a Trip to Spain on Iberia

Win a trip to Spain. The official rules say that 2 coach tickets SFO-MAD are worth $11,720. I suspect you can argue down the 1099 for tax season if you win.

UPS Keeps the 747 Program Alive

UPS is keeping the 747 program alive with an order for 14 more 747-8's. They also picked up 4 767-300's. I bet they got a smoking good deal.

There are many cheap used 747-400's available

United Ran Out of Gates at SJC

Bad weather in Denver caused United to be backed up on gates in SJC. We parked on the ramp and took a bus to the terminal. Very odd, my flight was from Denver and early.

Good Morning Colorado

I love watching the sun rise at the airport. Getting to the airport in time to see the sun rise is usually annoying.
