Like many other frequent fliers, Marsh is struggling this week to adjust to the new, less efficient realities of air travel and all the uncertainties that come with them.
It took her just six months to rack up the 100 trips required to join US Airway's Chairman's Preferred program, which offers perks for its best customers. But for even the most experienced travelers, the changes in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are turning well planned days to chaos.
For Marsh, the cancellation of her flight meant leaving a day early. It required quick phone work: She booked new flights, changed car rental plans, found a hotel and packed for the unexpected overnight trip.

She considered booking a later flight to Providence, the last one of the evening. But "I just can't take a chance that it will be canceled, too," she said. for the airport, she'd been able to accomplish little other than changing her travel plans. There had been no opportunity to prepare for her trips to New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York later in the week. Nor had she made an important phone call for a neighborhood fund raising project, mailed books to a friend, dealt with last week's mail, reprogrammed her cellular phone, filed her expense report or cleaned her office.
"I'm not real happy about this," she said, hoisting her briefcase and overnight bag into the back of her station wagon.
A welcome turn
But the next leg of the trip took a surprising and welcome turn. Forewarned that the airport could be jammed with long lines at ticket counters and security checkpoints, Marsh had an inkling otherwise. After all,cartier replica love band ring, she'd had no problem either reserving a seat on the evening flight or rebooking her rental car in Providence.
In the Fast Park lot, she saw the first evidence that travelers were staying home. "It's empty!" she said, pulling into a parking lot with more empty spaces than cars. She took her pick of spots. "It's usually packed. This is a piece of cake."
A few minutes later, a shuttle bus dropped her at the terminal, which proved to be similarly devoid of customers. Checking in at the ticket counter, she stood second in a line of two and had to wait less than a minute.

Four minutes later,cartier gold replica ring, she moved on to the passenger checkpoint. As a half dozen people waited, the new routine became clear.
Pointing to illustrations of scissors and a nail file posted on a sign next to her, a uniformed woman with a two way radio asked each passenger if he or she were carrying either or even a pair of nail clippers. Marsh produced a small pair of cuticle trimmers, which the woman confiscated. If Marsh returned through the airport within five days, she was told, she could reclaim them.
Meanwhile, the metal detector she passed through didn't notice the bangle of silver bracelets and a Rolex watch on her left wrist. Her bags weren't opened,cartier replica love ring wedding band, and neither were those of other passengers in line.
But one flight attendant was forced to turn over a corkscrew he was carrying, and a middle aged passenger was stopped and interrogated when, after being cleared to go to a gate once, he left the boarding area and tried to go back through security a practice no one would have questioned in the past.
Speaking into her radio, the guard spelled the man's name and turned a sharp eye on his ticket stub. "Do I look like I'm from Iraq?" he asked belligerently. "Do I look like I'm from Iran?"
