EOS AIRLINES
If you missed my unbelievable outbound flight to London on Eos, here is the direct link to the story (a link to the 2-minute video can be found at the bottom of this story). As you can see, I fell in love with the airline. Who wouldn’t? Escorts to the front of the line at security, then a 757 that can hold up to 231 economy seats -- yet is outfitted with just 48 seats, all of which turn into flat beds. Come on! However, I found a couple of flaws on my 7-hour, 31-minute return flight. One: Eos’ airport lounge in London is not nearly as nice as the one in New York. Two: The flight attendants on this flight weren’t as amazing as the others. Don’t get me wrong -- they were still good, but they did not bring the mid-flight snack through the cabin, or come by often with bottles of water. I know, I’m a freak, but at $3,250 one-way walk-up fares they gotta step up. It was probably just an oversight, and I’ll be sure to let you know the next time I fly them (which I hope is soon).

GETTING TO CT
I landed at JFK around 7 p.m. There was no line at customs and this new terminal (4) was so much better than my last international arrival (Terminal 8). Instead of flying right back home to Los Angeles, I decided to visit my family in Connecticut (where I grew up) for a few days. Getting between New York’s major airport and Connecticut is more difficult, and possibly more time-consuming, than some flights. I have no idea why Connecticut doesn’t have easy, affordable access to the airport. Maybe it’s because there are too many rich people who don’t care about public transportation. I didn’t take Connecticut Limo (which is far from a limo). I swore to myself I would never use them again, after repeated rudeness. Besides, they’re not cheap: It costs $67 for one-way trip to Norwalk (only a 42-mile drive). At the ground transportation desk at JFK I asked about any options besides CT limo. The agent said "Prime Time Shuttle." They showed up in the quoted 30-minutes time. Unfortunately, the driver kept going to other terminals to get passengers until he filled up the van. Luckily, at the second stop a whole family jumped in. The first destination was a hotel out of the way in White Plains, NY. On top of that, the driver got lost. He made us all nervous as he read the map speeding down the thruway. I started to get angry like the others, and asked him to slow down. I asked why he didn’t have a GPS system. "Too expensive." Of course! Two hours of a drive that should have taken half that set me back $63 (without tip – which he didn’t get). Next time I’ll save time and money by taking AirTrain (I’ll write about it next week).
