757

[andyhat]

Coach class on 757's (in a 3-3 configuration) is bad enough on short hauls. But for transcons, it's torture. What is Delta thinking using those on a route like ATL-SFO? I'll definitely be avoiding that routing in the future (at least the outbound flight was a 767, so I didn't suffer both ways).

Other than the return flight, Dragoncon was lots of fun. I went to a lot less formal programming than I did at Worldcon, but there were so many people around to talk to that I had no trouble passing the time socializing. It was good to see lots of people I rarely get to see since I'm home so little, and I met lots of great new folks. It's too bad that Worldcon and Dragoncon are normally the same or adjacent weekends, because I'd like to be able to do both again.

You were on USeless Air, then? They do have quite a reputation for randomly cancelling short-haul flights. I generally try to avoid them, but if you're flying out of National, I suppose you're usually stuck with 'em.

Realistically, I probably won't get to another Dragoncon soon. The next two years, Worldcon conflicts, and in 2008, Denver would have to win their early-August bid which seems unlikely against Chicago and Columbus.
