An early start was necessary today.
Why ? My flight from San Francisco to Boise was scheduled at 10:00 am. s the SF Airport is
on the other side of the bay, I had return my car, one should be there about an hour before departure
and last but not least I would hit the rush hour somehow required to leave at 6:30 am
Everything went fine ( obviously ) and I reached the airport well in time. I even had enough time
for a breakfast in one of the cafes.
The Alaskan Airlines flight left on time. As the flight was not direct so a stop-over in Seattle was
necessary. The connection flight, also with Alaskan, was delayed due to the late arrival of the
incoming flight. The way the airline informed the passengers was exemplary:
“The inbound plane is delayed and expected at 14:05” ( instead of 13;20 )
“The airplane has just landed"
‘We are expecting re-fuelling and checks to take about 20 min. Expected departure time now 14:45"
etc. etc.
Other airlines in Europe should use the same approach.
Well on time, i.e. at the new expected departure time, the flight left Seattle for Boise, Idaho.
I also left the Pacific Time Zone and entered the Mountain Time Zone: 1 hour ahead of PTZ. Clocks needed
to be changed.
At around 5 pm I landed in Boise: bright sunshine and an outside temperature of 65 F. Very nice.
With the Boise airport not so big I quickly found my car rental agent who had the papers already ready.
Sign, present credit card and off I went for my tonights accommodation.
