Do you have precheck? If not I’d arrive pretty early. TSA lines are crazy now. Also check your flight status constantly before the trip. Apparently American Airlines is canceling flights due to staff shortages.

Post covid travel frenzy. It’s getting close to what it used to be before. I flew out of dtw yesterday and it was quite busy.

JFK has been a zoo. Get there with plenty of time to check bags or use curbside if available. Clear helps with the security line.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
