One of the more refreshing trends of travel in the last few months was that I was apparently no longer being “singled out” for special treatment. This was a very recurring problem--particular when international travel was involved. That meant no advanced check-in was possible, which made flying on airlines such as Southwest, which boards by check-in order, rather difficult.
However, in recent months, some airlines started removing these conditions, so I could get boarding passes ahead of time, which made check-ins and travel slightly more pleasant. Unfortunately, this morning I got a rather rude awakening from US Airways, who did the whole “we are unable to process your request” nonsense all over again. And apparently the reasons even mystified the airline clerks--so it’s not clear whether it’s TSA doing the bungling, or the airline.
So it’s back to the piecemeal approach of recent years. Not much fun, but unfortunately that’s what it takes to fly these days.
