Anyone leaving from GFK to MSP on the 5:10am flight on NWA? Crap I hafta wake up in 2.5 hrs and I'm not even in bed. Today (officially) I will be in sunny warm weather. I have my shorts and flip-flops packed up and ready to go!

At that rate, you might as well stay up. Throw on a pot of coffee and hang out....

Yeah I fly out Christmas morning and have to be at the airport at 4:30AM. And I work till 1:00AM. Three and a half hours of sleep sounds fun.

Wait... using that logic, the moment you clock out of work at 1am you will be asleep and you won't wake up until you arrive at the airport at 4:30am. I hate to break it to you, but you are going to get a whole lot less then 3.5 hours of sleep.

EDIT: WAHOO!!! My 1000th Post!

I only got 1.5 hrs of sleep on the airplane (that's it!) and here I am still awake.

I kindly asked the father in the row in front of me to have her annoying 3 yr old daughter stop tapping her finger on my leg while I was trying to sleep!!! She stopped for a while but then woke me up again tapping her finger on my knee (from the front row). This time I was not very kind. I was rather stern with him. You don't wanna piss off someone who hasn't had any sleep!

My philosophy with kids: If you can't teach your kids to behave in public, don't take them out at all and stay home. Man, I'm never having kids LOL.

I took that flight on Friday morning, everything went smooth until we tried to leave MSP. My connecting flight was suppose to leave at 11:17 a.m. and let's just say that the plane was busted, and afater sitting around MSP for over 5 hours and switching to a new plane, we finally took off at 5:30 p.m.!!!

Well, let's just say the Avro I took out of GFK was busted too until MX came out and did something to it. Some flap indicator was showing the flaps to be malfunctioning when visual tests showed them to be fine. MX supposedly reset the error message. We were sitting there for about 40 minutes. Most of that time was spent with the lights turned off along with no heat. I was fine because of the way I was dressed but older people had trouble dealing with the cold.

Someday GFK will get some competition...hopefully.

Your right thats two and a half hours of sleep. I'm probably going to sleep in my car. Sucks but at least i'll be with my family and can go surfing.
