BA still has no idea where it is, but I can’t imagine it’s going to be lost. There’s nothing that exciting in it. The line was huge at JFK but the staff really tried to keep a sense of humour on a hot, sticky night. Kudos to them.

Switzerland was amazing and there will be photos later. The scenery is just phenomenal.

ETA: I updated my Flight Memory: still only halfway to the moon (since Aug 2001) but I’m getting there. The balance of this summer’s flights (HPN-ORD-LAX-AKL-MEL-ADL-BNE-LAX-ORD-HPN) will help

I mentioned that I was booked on the ROC flight (gate agent’s comment… “Oh, good luck. The 5PM was cancelled and if that gets any more delayed it won’t make it in before ROC closes.”) and asked about the standby options. She told me there were only two seats available and that there were already 9 people on the wait list, but I was free to hang out. I lurked at the counter for  ~30 minutes and was rewarded when, about 10 minutes before the flight was scheduled to to go she scribbled on my boarding pass. Yes! It was very good that I made that flight because the ROC flight didn’t go. I’m glad I made graduation and today’s return (SYR->EWR) was uneventful save for traffic on the Jersey Turnpike as I drove home.

I hope this summer’s flights are more like today’s than Fridays.
