Transcript

Okay, update about Austin Airport. It is still insane. I got there this morning flying out of Southwest and the lines were completely out the door. It took about 40 minutes just to get from the line outside to inside and then there's a whole other line to get through security. All in all, it took about over an hour and 20 minutes. I just made it on my flight, literally with 10 minutes to spare. So if you are flying out of Austin for South by Southwest in the next few days, I highly recommend getting there around two hours early and that's even cutting it close.
