BOS-tunk

It is a few minutes past 5pm and I am now in Terminal E at BOS. This is the most chaotic and unorganized terminal I have ever been to in my years of traveling. There was one line for security that had at least 200 people winding through the check in areas to get to their gates. I noticed an “Expert” line for Business and First class travelers that couldn’t even be seen in the mass of travelers, so I took it rather than wait with the others. I made it all the way to the front, the TSA woman took my boarding pass and passport, and I had my shoes back on before 3 people in the regular line had been ushered through the metal detectors. Sometimes you just have to be a little ballsy; it paid off for me this time!

Now that I’ve located a power cord to plug in my laptop and cell phone, I just have to wait patiently until it’s time to board and I can find my mom. Her cell is turned off, otherwise I’d let her in on my secret short line.

Also interesting to note, I asked about an upgrade to first class. I was in luck, a $1400 special! Evidently there is more than one definition for the word “special”…
