With the 10% cut in airline travel starting this week, and with the threat of a total shutdown of all airline travel. I felt it was time I address the issue. I am fully aware a lot of furries count on the airlines. Mainly due to work schedules. As in they can sneak a fur con in when they got the time off.
I am fairly lucky where I live, MFF is not that far away. I take the local public transportation, CTA and PACE. Then Uber back and forth from my hotel. Unfortunately I am not on any of those handy buses routes.
I know many of you can, and do.
Which only leaves getting to the con. I call this article “Minus the Airlines”, because that is a good possibility. By the time MFF rolls around in just a few weeks. There might be nothing flying. Let me make that clear, I am not saying it’s going to happen… but it might.
Then what to do?
I have made it no secret that I love trains. I think train travel is the best, wide seats, food options and if your inclined you can get an adult drink. Are all great.
But I am also fully aware that this is not an option for some, neither are the buses. For all 6′ 2 of me I don’t exactly sit comfortable on a bus. But I do take them when there are no other option. You see I don’t drive, that is a choice, too many aggressive drivers.
So that only lives the final option… DRIVING
Is driving halfway across the country a real option?!!!
For some this maybe the only option.
Look I am not saying change your actual travel plans. But be aware of what is going on in that Looney Bin we call the White House.
I would also advise everyone “Know what your options are”.
If that includes cutting back what cons you see that maybe is another choice.
I was contacted by more than one, telling me they have already cutback. Limiting to cons they can actually drive.
Because we don’t know what those nuts in DC are planning to make our lives worse.
