Hemorrhaging money to airlines
May. 28th, 2015 10:11 pmOh man.
I bought plane tickets for Europe. I am sticking with the plan of taking Amtrak to Chicago, and then I wound up getting tickets for Air Lingus. Even if they charge checked bike fees, they were sufficiently cheap to make up for the difference. There's now a 25-hour layover in Dublin in my itinerary. Somehow, this seems like a good thing.
I also bought plane tickets to go up to Seattle in July. They cost around $500. That seems high.
I hate airplanes. When I move back to the West Coast next fall, I am looking forward to Amtrakking around.
Up next: calling Air Lingus to confirm that I am bringing along my bicycle, and getting train tickets from London to Belgium. And browsing through a pile of guidebooks to decide what, exactly, I want to do while in Europe, aside from the whole bike-riding part.
