Going from A-List Preferred to Gold 🏆 Status: #SouthwestAirlines has announced an overhaul to its Rapid Rewards and a re-branding of its Tier Status Program effective January. Official details here: swamedia.com/
Spotted at #SAN this morning: #SouthwestAirlines Triple Crown One #N8681M arriving at the gate from the Windy City via MDW.
Travel Tip (Happened to me yesterday at LAS): Delayed ✈️🚍🚂 departure estimates are subject to time recovery. If conditions allow, delayed trips can leave earlier than estimated. To avoid missing your reservation, be near the gate at the regular scheduled time. #TravelTips
Travel Safety includes Ground Transportation too: Don't run the light 🚦 or fail to yield even if you're running late. #Dashcam captured this #closecall in Temecula. Irony: Will I catch up to that speeding car?
Spotted the #SouthwestAirlines Imua One #N8710M at San Diego in taxi and headed to Sacramento
A basic, old-school means to ride #SFBart from #Embarcadero Station: Take the "secret" stairwell 🚶, located at the end of the station.
Saturday Train Spotting in SoCal: #Amtrak @PacSurfliner Train 579 to LA departs Fullerton as Train 580 arrives headed to San Diego
Yes, I even pick the #windowseat 💺🪟 on the boat too ⛴️... OAK airport to Larkspur: Took BART from airport to Embarcadero/SF Ferry Terminal; boat ride to Larkspur via Golden Gate Ferry @GGBridge. Also works for flights to/from SFO too!
Under $10 breakfast at the airport ✈️ anyone? #SAN's T1 got a filling breakfast wrap courtesy of Luna Grill...My choice for delicious budget grub.
The "empty" end of a transit bunch: This is what can happen when a weekend train ahead of the one you've booked runs way behind and platoons with your on-time train...Good article on the "clump" effect and the trailing transit vehicle on Wikipedia:

Couldn't snooze on this one: Starting a weekend morning at zero-dark-hundred at Oceanside CA aboard the @PacSurfliners Business Class headed toward LA.
Flew over the Calaveras Reservoir into OAK from last Saturday...safely! This body of water has a rather scary aviation story that occured in the 1960's which was not solved until 1991 according to Check Six and archived newspaper articles:
