Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Thank you for choosing us this morning when I was
- 0:02Speaker 1: six point seven lot FM. It is Jack and Christine
- 0:05Speaker 1: and well good to see you. Christine's for a while.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, and you've just gotten back from Arubas.
- 0:11Speaker 2: So I know you did some traveling. How did you
- 0:13Speaker 2: make out in the airports?
- 0:14Speaker 1: No, it wasn't bad. We were there very early because
- 0:16Speaker 1: of the LA Double R and air train, so I
- 0:19Speaker 1: think you know, we spent maybe uh less than a
- 0:22Speaker 1: half an hour on the line. That's which is not bad.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I'm not bad considering what we've been seeing on the
- 0:27Speaker 2: news where people are lined up for hours, and I
- 0:30Speaker 2: know CSA agents will begin to get paid starting today
- 0:33Speaker 2: and tomorrow. Ever left it's going yes, that's the problem.
- 0:37Speaker 2: We're down some TSA agents and it's going to take
- 0:40Speaker 2: a while to get up to speed. So travelers are
- 0:42Speaker 2: still being advised to get to the airport hours early,
- 0:46Speaker 2: much earlier than you had planned on. So that's okay.
- 0:50Speaker 2: There's people who say I'll do it for you if
- 0:53Speaker 2: you just pay me a little side hustle. There's places
- 0:57Speaker 2: like air Tasker where you can go and you can
- 0:59Speaker 2: recu ask somebody to please stand in line for you
- 1:02Speaker 2: at the TSA until they get to the point where
- 1:05Speaker 2: they're gonna.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Have to check in where are you at that time?
- 1:07Speaker 1: Are you in the airport? Are you driving there?
- 1:09Speaker 2: Like?
- 1:09Speaker 1: Oh boy, I hope I make it.
- 1:11Speaker 2: You just work it out, they'll keep in touch with you.
- 1:13Speaker 1: It sounds more complicated.
- 1:15Speaker 2: They're going to charge you, let's see, about sixty five
- 1:18Speaker 2: dollars an hour, and then you have to cover their parking,
- 1:21Speaker 2: which is another six dollars an hour.
- 1:23Speaker 1: There's an app, isn't there a TSA app that you
- 1:26Speaker 1: can actually skip that line? I think it's eighty five.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Dollars the pre check TSA pre check, but still you're
- 1:35Speaker 2: still gonna have to it'll help absolutely, but you still
- 1:37Speaker 2: have to get through security at a certain point too.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But I guess it was closed when we went there,
- 1:42Speaker 1: So I'm glad I didn't spend that eighty five dollars
- 1:44Speaker 1: because that line was pre check was closed. Yeah, oh wow,
- 1:48Speaker 1: I didn't spend on that.
- 1:49Speaker 2: We got clear. Maybe that can help. There's got to
- 1:52Speaker 2: be ways to work around. But again, you can hire
- 1:54Speaker 2: somebody to get to that point that you're talking about.
- 1:57Speaker 2: You can drive to your destination in Aruba.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Didn't you tell me how to do that.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I said, he drove when he was in Ireland, which
- 2:09Speaker 2: I thought was incredibly brave. Because they drive on the
- 2:12Speaker 2: left side of the road.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You're sitting on the left side of the car, so
- 2:17Speaker 1: it's all like backwards.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Okay, you tell my brain that when I get behind
- 2:21Speaker 2: the wheel, I'm not doing it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: My brain's not figuring it out anyway.
