I wonder if it could be related to inventory. So many times when ordering some product with identical models in various colors there will be a small difference in the prices among them.
I feel like I semi routinely will see multiple the exact same item for different prices on Amazon? I thought that was just standard with all the different sellers they have? Or am I remembering wrong?
Oh yeah if itās a third party seller there are all sorts of weird issues but in this case theyāre both sold by Amazon directly. Theyāre constantly adjusting prices by a few cents here and there.
My 1st leg flight is 2 hours delayed so far and will miss my connection, with a pretty good chance that I am stuck in Syracuse NY for another night. 
Dinosaur Barbecue is the best barbecue restaurant on the East Coast, easy. Itās about 15 minutes from the airport.
Their pork-sket sandwich is incredible.
Itās not necessarily rage-inducing, but why do people put bananas in a plastic produce bag at the grocery store? Do they not realize each banana already comes in its own individual wrapper?

Snowing heavily from a norāeaster as I get to Syracuse airport. But still listed on time for 8:30.
There was a 6:00 flight. It is boarded and has driven to the edge of the runway entrance. Those poor suckers are trapped. Snowing even more heavily.
BUT Delta boards us. Turns out Delta has one gate at the airport and goddammit they are going to have us leave the GATE ON TIME
So we board, push back and then they announce the airport is closed due to blinding conditions.
Since 6:00 suckers are still there they decided to bring them in first, so they push us back a bit further to allow them to get in.
At least an hour goes by. Finally our turn to pull in and de-plane. BUT we are stuck. So they have to bring in snow removal equipment and a bigger tow truck.
We finally deplane around 11:30. There is 1 (one, uno) food places in the gate area. Basically deli. They are out of premade sandwiches. The staff brings out cold cuts and just subway us they best they can. There is no place to sit except the floor as we were the last plane to de-board.
Snow stops. We finally take off 8 hours late.I think we leave first as our plane was the one at the gate.
I had been visiting by then gf (now wife) at grad school. So the trip was still worthwhile

Ugh wtf, airlines are woat
YES I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS
there are two reasons to use the bag:
- keep goopy stuff off your food
- keep like items grouped together
bananas have built-in mechanisms for both functions
sure, the problem is that he just starts blasting me with no context and now I have to do a bunch of detective work to figure out what the right channel is
Still here ~24 hours later. Plane not fixed no eta no new plane coming. And this is fucking united not frontier. I got nothing.
wtf arenāt they liable to start paying you to get home somehow at this point if it their fuckup by not having functioning aircraft
hahahahahaha passengers in the US basically have zero protections
Its syracuse thereās nothing hereā¦ literally. IDK what we do at this point. Wait until they figure it out/get new plane I guess. Probably tomorrow? Hard to believe it hasnāt escalated by now but I guess they donāt GAF.
Could see if there any seats on flights out of Ithaca or some other small nearby airport and see if they would taxi you there?
True although feel like the credits cards talk a big talk about getting certain benefits after 24+hrs delay seems like surely someone somewhere can help when itās purely a mechanical issue and not weather?
Check:
- Albany;
- Binghamton;
- Elmira;
