That's why I use it, and the more of them we can discover the better,
IMHO. It beats Sanskrit.
I once took an emergency route via NY to Chicago to get to a meeting on
time (Brit Airways had a very delayed flight). My baggage went direct
to Chicago, and I could not get it back. When I got there my original
direct flight had just arrived, along with my baggage! Me, I went from
London to New York JFK, cab to the airport in New Jersey (that's right!)
and an internal overnight flight leaving at 0140 for Los Angeles, but
stopping once in Chicago for some reason I know not.
I guess it was me who was the baggage in this case ...
Alan :-)
