7. Yup - the last time I was out there was the late '90s

And those short haul flights are ridiculous in cost. I think it was cheaper to fly to Chicago from Philly than to fly to Cincinnati (which for some reason, always seems to have a premium)!

The last west coast trip I took was to San Francisco and that was almost 25 years ago. My last flight was down to the Bahamas back in 2015.

But all during the '90s, I got what I dubbed "plane neck". There was one year where I went to 6 cities in 8 weeks and that was enough.

My worst flight was to Boston (I always either took Amtrak, Trailways (and Peter Pan), or drove, but had a training course there so flew). I will never fly into Logan ever again if I can help it.
