Flight Lines
The Transportation Security Administration has ordered the elimination of VIP lines at U.S. airports (Feb. 21). The bureaucrats have it all wrong once again. I travel for pleasure two to three times per year. I have a relative who travels on business at least 10 times more often. It makes perfect sense to allow the frequent-flying business traveler to get special treatment. I may be flying on a $300 ticket while the business flyer could easily be paying $1,200 for the same flight.
It really doesn’t make any difference to me if it takes a couple of hours to check in on a vacation flight; however, those same two hours can be critical to the business flyer. We need to get our economy and the airlines going again. This ridiculous ruling will have the opposite effect.
