They have a very odd liquid ban. You can't take liquids past the security checkpoint, but when you're in the terminal you can buy stuff - but they have to put any bottled liquid in a cup and you have to get rid of it before you get on the plane. Diffrent airports have diffrent screaning deals too - Louisville, laptops get swabed for explosives, but not in Providnece.
I asked Dad how much the tickets were, and it was $640 USD for the three of us round trip, with one stop along the way, no meal. I'm not sure of the taxes/fees/surchages though.
At least this time we had a semi direct route Providence to Cincinatti to Louisville. I've gone absolute wrong direction to get connectting flights often. = )
The T - I have no idea what the real name is, but it's the transportation to and around Boston - is not the most user-friendly thing at the moment, as they are phasing out tokens and have "charlie cards" where you put in some money on the ticket and use that to get in and out on the stations. It's diffrent from a subway pass. And it doesn't yet work at all the stations, so when we bought a round trip on a charlie card, we couldn't get on the subway at a diffrent station and had to buy tokens. Two days later they installed the card readers for Charlie cards at that station.
