Yes, the title misspelling was an intentional attempt at punnery.It's a compulsion, I'm sorry.

I might have advisedAdam R. not to try to plan flights 4 years in advance, if asked. But he didn't ask, and so he discovered this. I'll let Adam explain.
"I was looking at flights to a certain town in eastern Western Australia. (I'm planning ahead for the July 2028 solar eclipse.) Apopular travel website informed me that this eveningflight across the border from Northern Territory was anovernight flight. Yes, the time zones in Australia areweird, with a 90-minute difference between WA and NT, buta westbound flight that lands before it takes off shouldnot be an unexpected edge case. "

Our old friend Extra Baggage found us a real error'd from Jet Blue. It'snot as funny as a $900 sandwich but it's a big brand we can point fingers at.Says Extra B. "I was trying to get my stuff from Place A to Place B,along with myself. Just making sure that everything checksout -- er. Well, JetBlue's rules for baggage are quite technical.
Anyway, one would expect this to be a rather common client-siderendering issue, however none of the other 33 rules had any issues, so I'm unsure."
Extra B. also had a private gripe about the captcha system. I hear you, E. Perhapsone of the other regular commenters has a suggestion about how to avoid them.
