Guv'nuh, whatever else you do or say, please do not say "NUKULAR".
It instantaneously reminds people of a certain president. And a certain precedent**.
Much pity, I feel. Who amongst us has never tried to BS their way through a viva/interview/conversation? I, for one, vividly recall being put in a spot by this question: 'yes, but can you be more specific?'
That's when you give up and say: 'I don't know'.
Admit it. We've all been there, said that. And known when to say it.
The difference is we were not on national television. And we were not vying to be a heart beat away.

kayak.com added a "weekend flight" feature. It "lets you compare prices on multiple flights, on multiple weekends (Fri-Sun). Saves a lot of time. Awesome. Very cool.
And about time. You wonder why it took so long to figure out that this was a needed feature. Well, at least someone at Kayak is doing their job well. I'm impressed.
Update: they should to include early Monday morning as part of "weekend".
Update 2: I hadn't noticed: if you mouse-over a return flight, it lets you filter all flights with that return fight ONLY.
Update 3: 'Filter on weekend dates' is buggy on a Mac/Firefox. |
