I always brag about our airport. How you can walk right up to your ticket counter and maybe wait in line for 30 seconds. Walk right up to the TSA check-in and maybe wait for three people, if at all.
They got beer, coffee, food, and an all easy peazy mellow experience.
But. That is not every time.
Fresno Yosemite International (that will always be know as FAT), does have its busy times and I found that out on a recent Friday morning, flying out.
TSA was swamped. That line curled into the baggage claim hallway.
Turns out, everyone in Fresno flies out on a Friday (duhhhhhh).
Everyone in line was rattled by this, so I didn’t feel as dumb as I was.
The main issue really though is there was only one person at TSA checking IDs for everyone flying out of Fresno. One.
Work on that if you can, Fresno Yosemite.
Everything else is cools bagools at FYI. Even though the new parking garage was full and I had to park in the boonies like always, still cool.
Had a nice Mad Duck beer as I waited for the line to board my flight to go down. Like I said, all cool.
Just stopped to share. Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for opening.

I’m so glad they kept that mural.
