Getting Home

[kybearfuzz]

In my many travels to and from DC I rarely have had any troubles. So obviously, I was due. Today is my day.

The self-checkin kiosk said it couldn't find my e-ticket. So I waited in line behind a family with enough luggage to dress Suzanne Sugarbaker on a weekend trip to have the ticket agent tell me the airline changed planes to one with fewer seats. I got bumped. She gave 200 Delta $'s and booked me to JFK connecting to Cincy.

Through security and to my gate to find the JFK flight had been diverted for some reason. Off to the counter and a tall gruff-looking agent run through the possibilities again. As of now I'm off to Boston in 2 hours and then Cincy. He topped it off with an additional 400 Delta $'s for my troubles.

I'm tempted to hold out for 1st class if it happens again, though my arrival time is getting later and later. And I'm losing faith that my bags will be waiting on me at Cincy.

I had the terrifying sensation of them not being able to find my e-ticket on my way home from Nashville. He blamed it on the NWA/DLA merger. I was just glad I made it home :0

First class! Go for it!

I hate Delta. Good luck on the bags as I would be pessimistic too after a day like that. At least you're going HOME!

See, you were destined to stay in DC for Pride weekend. Fate didn't want you to leave.
