Ouch.  Those of us who don't tolerate flying well don't need that...

Few years ago, I got booked Roanoke-Dulles-SFO-Monterey on the way out, and
Monterey-LAX-OHare-Roanoke on the way back.  What I *needed* was for my phone
to ring while I was wandering OHare rather dazed and looking for something I
had spotted in Dulles, and *tell* me "Yo dude, pack it in, you're not in Dulles
this time"...
