I Heart Burbank Airport

I am very aware this makes me sound crazy, but after being held captive on flights to nowhere but the runway, trapped in airports due to absurd delays, and having read more James Patterson-esque books to last a lifetime... I must declare I heart Bob Hope Burbank Airport.

SFO--> Burbank:
Trip to airport: Only a 7 minute wait for the BART and even got to sit the whole way. Elevators not running.
Departure: I almost didn't make the flight, but that was because I went to the wrong gate and because the flight actually boarded on time. :)
Arrival: We arrived on time, and got of the plane in a timely fashion because we didn't have to wait for the the gate thing to arrive.
Drive home: No traffic; familiar route, and yummy Steak to eat for dinner (ok, maybe, just maybe that was a little bias due to the perfect steak and greek salad. Drool.)

Burbank--> SFO:
Drive to airport: It took 20 minutes. And I got through security in 5 minutes. A line of two people so plenty of time to slowly take off shoes, take off versus rip-off outerwear, take out laptop etc. Security line, friendly.
Departure: On time. I thought I'd have to check luggage cause it was a teeny plane.
Arrival: EARLY! And I didn't have to go to baggage claim for my bag.
Drive home: Didn't have to even wait in line for cab, good driver, I was at home by 6:45pm. Whole trip, 3 hours 15 minutes.

THAT was a great trip and how I wish it could be everytime.
