Comments	So, after a miniscule 28 day surface interval, I made it back down to SE Florida The airport in Philadelphia was the busiest I've seen it since before the pandemic. The Admiral's club is open in B/C and is even serving some non-packaged food. I had a nice avocado toast sandwich with hard boiled egg and smoked salmon . More of the vendors are open now, but not all. Everyone is still wearing masks in the airport and on the plane. The Palm Beach airport was also busier than my last visit, everyone masked.

Visibility was the same, 25-30 feet. There was little to n ... Subscribe to get the full story. Active subscribers continue reading here
