PHL is a nightmare airport

Some years back, the B and C baggage claims were completely redone to be state of the art. Despite that, this is the only airport where your flight may listed on the monitor for one baggage carousel (where you then wait patiently). Meanwhile the bags from your flight have all quietly emerged in a different carousel and have been for 30 minutes. No announcements made regarding the switch either. This has happened to me at least 1.8 million times and counting.

Right now it seems every airport on the east coast is a nightmare

@D1 that also happens to me T5 in LHR regularly, as recently as Saturday. However I never check bags domestically to avoid bag claim completely - when you do 125 segments a year that saves a lot of time. However, PHL does have above average food options compared to many airports I frequent.

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
