Relating to the flight attendant that used one to leave her flight yesterday.

"chute" as in "slide" not "parachute". -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:28
...you being cheap and probably in need of one from time to time you learned to repack your own. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 08:09
does this routing work for your Toronto trip? -- (link) - Andie Apr 5, 08:07 [Backboard] 8
- Bah, answered your original post. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 08:12
- I'm not sure it will save any money, but Meg can also look at an 'open jaw' LA-->Toronto // Halifax --> LA - ty97 Apr 5, 08:10 3
  - Hmm, hadn't thought of the Porter option out of Toronto. Would avoid that commute back to Pearson, right? - Meg Apr 5, 08:15 2
    - Yup, there's a free shuttle from the train station downtown to the airport. Or it's a very quick/cheap cab. - ty97 Apr 5, 08:18 1
      - And with bag fee and no seat selection it comes in around $200. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 08:25
- does it involve her jumping out of a plane? -- (edited) - decline Apr 5, 08:09 2
  - i clicked *no* on that drop down window, so she should be able to use the stairs. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 08:12 1
    - Her Mossad training means she likes to egress from a plane via the cockpit... - Mel Profit Apr 5, 08:15
[ignoring the IM] Stop jumping out of planes, Meg. -- nm - sycor Apr 5, 08:06
[reads the IM] wait, what? -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 08:05 3

  - A Jetblue FA did this a few years back too. Basically flamed out, quit his job over the PA, grabbed two beers, and then peaced out on the slide. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:12
- She owed Meg money. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:06
