Tampa to Amarillo - Easier this Year

It's time for my annual trip to AMA.  Everything I posted on this blog a year ago is still true.  It's a tough place to get to.

I get a text from Southwest at 830 AM telling me that my 5:15 pm departure is already 15 minutes late.  How can you know this far in advance?  Probably a crew rest issue.  Who knows.

We end up leaving TPA 20 minutes late.  We eventually get into AMA 30 minutes late.

I'm not sure I've ever gotten into AMA on time.
