yeah based on that it seems like it'll be into January (if not later) before those dates open.

This may be minor, but the schedule isn't completely and totally OFFICIALI suppose until this Wednesday when it's announced on the ESPN show. So even if this isn't relevant at all, mentally I still feel like I wanted to be "early" and book prior to then to try to beat some others that are waiting for the accounemnt. One way flights that Sunday from Austin to ATL were just absurdly high. The cheapest I could find for my wife and I was almost $2300 for both. I ended up going ahead and just booking a one-way from San Anotnio for like 1/5 of that.

Austin area update:

I-35 between Austin and SA is rotten garbage and will be that way for the next few years minimum. Spent 2-hours sitting on 35, most at dead stop.

Austin ABIA airport also undersized and disorganized. They spent years doing construction on it. Now it’s open and still is a cf.

Security is also undersized and disorganized. Pre-Check is no relief as it’s typically longer than the regular line.

Food quality and service is way down and never recovered from Covid. Every place is understaffed and the staff that is there acts like it’s their first day on the job or first job ever.

TLDR- Austin is a size 13 but still trying to stuff itself in an 11 shoe.
