I don't get all of the concern over this; it's a new option and very considerate at that.

Worry more about better food options and more flight options folks.
Concern over what? Safe rooms or the argument that early flights are “ok?”
 
Porter has already turned off/disabled all refundable fares when booking for the near future. Don’t blame them though, they probably learned from last year when lots of people booked refundable fares during the (almost) pilots strike and they ended up flying half empty planes across the country when the strike didn’t happen and people requested refunds.

Arrived at the mall at 1611.
- four people disembarked

Departed the mall at 1616 After making two stops
- every seat is full; 23 people are standing

Thanks for sharing and documenting.

That's an extra 10 minutes of bus stops and traffic lights before even making any progress to get going downtown after a flight. I've taken the 747 several times though - i just hate that detour.

I have not seen that level of congestion since the schedule change. It could have a result of the congestion at the Black Mud creek construction on the highway. I know the bus I was on the other day got caught up in it because he wasn’t being assertive enough. The following bus took a diversion and actually got ahead of us on the highway so there would have been a significant delay in service at the airport.
