Flying will never be as good as it was pre-9/11.

Sitting on the runway at Sky Harbor cause we have no available gates to dock. Soooooooo close to getting home.
Thank God I was in business class for last two flights and had extra room. I never wanted to leave the terminal and get on the plane more than today in Charlotte. |

When we were completely boarded and about to leave Phoenix they got on the intercom and say "we apologize everyone" and I thought Oh ****, but they said there was lightening so the ground crew had to go indoors for 25 minutes. I thought for sure they were going to de-board us. Last edited by crispystl; 03-10-2024 at 07:11 AM.. |

Orlando has been an absolute shit show since yesterday. There was a storm that effectively cut off Florida from the rest of the country so planes couldn't get in. My 5:00pm got pushed to 7:30, which made me miss my connection in Austin to San Diego. Then that was canceled and I was booked on a 6:05 to Albuquerque which was then canceled. Got rebooked on a 11:00am today, barely found a hotel room and now my 11:00 has been delayed until 1:39 which again is making me miss my connection in Austin. So they rebooked me out of Austin to San Diego on a 9:15pm which means I get to spend almost 6 hours in Austin on a layover.
I just stood in a line for over an hour to check my bag, praying ATC stops playing musical chairs with my flight. The departure time has changed no less than 10 times since I left for the airport at 9:45 this morning. Just get me the hell out of Orlando to ANY other city so I can get home. |

Thankfully, I got a FIRST CLASS upgrade on the flight home so I survived. I forgot to tell everyone until today. |

She then said that the next flight out of that gate is to Austin (the other one was Houston). So as of NOW, we should be boarding soon. PTL! |
