| | Airport adventures are always so much fun. When I got to the airport yesterday the lady at the ticket counter couldn't find my reservation.Then she tried to get me to rebook for the 6am flight the next morning. I politely refused and said I'd take my chances. She's like whatever, but that flight isn't going out today.
I go through security and get into the terminal only to realize that I was in the terminal that amenities forgot--no food, no newstand, no tv, no flight monitors, absolutely nothing. Thankfully, I had my computer to keep me occupied. Mainly I spent my time checking flight statuses (sp?) for people, trying to see if any other airlines were flying, what the conditions at the airports were, etc. The flight was supposed to leave at 6:30, but at 6:30 the plane was still sitting in MN waiting to go to Milwaukee. By 7 we learn that the flight had taken off from MN, but got diverted to Appleton, WI because of the weather. Some time later it made it back up in the air only get get diverted again to Green Bay, WI. The plane finally did make it to Milwaukee, but then couldn't get out again. By this time most of the people waiting for the flight had rebooked on the morning and evening flights for Wednesday, but there were still about 15 of us hanging out waiting, hoping. About 10pm--yes were were still waiting then--they tell us that the morning flight, which was completely booked at this point, had just been cancelled. To top it off, the evening flight was sold out as well so if the plane didn't come that night, we were stuck until Thursday. The plane finally came and I made it to Kansas around 3am. |
