Friday night flight out of Dulles to Logan on United Express, scheduled for 6:57pm. The plane takes off somewhere around 9:30, giving me two hours to wander around Dulles.
Discoveries:
1) Delta has no sky club and instead uses Air France's lounge, a dazzlingly modern red-and-white-cafeteria of the future.
2) A slice of fresh mozzarella pizza costs $4.57 in Gate A. Two hours of internet costs roughly a dollar more than this.
3) There are a remarkable number of international flights out of Dulles that leave on a Friday night after 7pm.
4) United will only reimburse you for delays after four hours of waiting.
After boarding the plane, the flight attendant asks for a volunteer from the first four rows to sit further back and balance the weight load. After thirty seconds of silence, a man volunteers. We applaud.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
