Landing into Calgary was painless and fast.  The airport was a mid-size standard international airport.  The Immigration and passport check area processed incoming folks fast and quick - state the number of days and if in business who is the company…More »

Dear SFO.

I give you a two stars for providing only 45 minutes of free WiFi access.  Why?  Boston Logan, Phoenix, and if I recall long time ago some obscure airport in Philadelphia, and others offer free wireless.

This is quite appalling, you are one…More »

I have used Skypark since the mid-90s.  When I worked for Tivoli/IBM  then, I traveled up to 75% of the time ... my traveling lifestyle taught me the traveler's adage of "What goes on the road, stays on the road"!  ..

As I noted AA domestic is not the best airline of choice.

This summer was my first time in the last 10 years to fly coach to Europe as I have depleted my racked-up frequent flyer miles.

The review is simple - AA was quite a terrible airline to fly…More »

I would have given my favorite Bay Area airport a five star, if I was writing this during the dot-boom days.  Oak Airport was a cozy and tiny airport with a simple couple of lanes that would let your cab drop you off the last terminal painlessly,…More »

Free Wifi deserves a full four stars.  

The layout, shops and restaurant choices are not world-class, it's mid-range level, architecture is plain, but I can't complain: free WiFI!

Free WiFi alleviated the frustration when United Airlines delayed my…More »

A glorious five star for my favorite SoCal airport.. very efficient and convenient straight flights from OAK or SJ via Southwest.  A very small yet efficient terminal for one day business trips since rental cars are simply available at the end of the…More »

I was quite disappointed with my JetBlue experience.

JetBlue from SFO to Boston and back for a business trip was not as I expected after all the hype.  The interior including the seats had nothing hip and cool to offer which made me wonder what their…More »

A small to mid-sized National Airport that is cleanly maintained with a good number of power outlets strategically located in various nooks to enable road warriors to work (or Yelp) while waiting for the next flight-out.

O'Hare is ok, sometimes great, sometimes bothersome.

Sometimes great because you stroll through the various K, H, and other alphabet-naming-convention gates, and it's as though you are strolling in a mall.  I love the fact that it's Chicago, albeit,…More »

Flying out or inbound on an international flight via LAX has not made an impression on me, at least in the last decade or so.  I have gone through LAX as a port of entry from Italy a few times, most of the times it was blah.  The Customs folks are…More »

Alitalia during my teens was a wonderful airline... Great pasta dishes, drinks and libations served to one and all, even when you're not of drinking age, and the added bonus of gorgeous Italian men, the flight attendants.  

At my maturing age,…More »
