Hey Salt Lake readers share their best tips on air travel and what to order at Cluck Truck.

On Your Love for Cluck Truck

City Cast Salt Lake social media manager Molly Miloscia included Cluck Truck in the Salt Lake things she’s grateful for, and many of you agree!

“The loaded chicken and fries at the Cluck Truck restaurant. You can get your chicken regular or spicy. Be sure to add a little extra pico (best ever!) on top! Secret tip: Order the fries cajun style and ask for extra chipotle lime sauce.” — Brad and Ginger D.

On Airport Hacks

We shared airport hacks before the holiday season and one reader offered their best tips, too.

“The best time of the week to fly is Saturday late afternoon. It's true that early morning flights are the least delayed, but plan additional time to go through security. Most travellers want to start early, so TSA is busiest around 5-6:30 a.m. every morning.

Always ask nicely at the gate if they need volunteers for the exit row. Often you'll get a seat with extra leg room. If not, they will often offer to reseat you at least to an aisle or window if it’s available.

Discount airlines are actually easier to board, fly more direct, and are easier to get perks like free trips than the big airlines. I would avoid Spirit right now because it's highly likely they will stop flying soon and you don't want to get stuck without a ticket.” — Jeff
