Taking he concept of a pass through state to an extreme in 2009, like Utah, we only stopped at the airport. Returning to Columbus, Ohio from Seattle, Washington the plane was over an hour late so we ran between the gates only to arrive just as they were closing the door and they refused to let us on the plane. What they did is push back from the gate which counts as an on time departure. Then the plane sat there for 45 minutes until they could transfer our baggage. Don't you just love airlines, deliver the baggage and leave the passengers behind. We spent a not very pleasant night hanging out in the airport to catch a flight in the morning being rather grumpy.
