| | fun times at the airportI ended up booking a flight to go back home, I thought I was going to be able to use all my accrued miles, but they gave me all sorts of crap and I was like fine just book it normal whatever. My flight is scheduled to leave at 210 Vegas time, so I'll be back in Indy at around 820 ready to go out and what not. I'm sort of late arriving to the airport and I've never actually driven myself to the Vegas airport and had to park there so that was some fun, it took me forever to find a spot. I finally found someone who was leaving and I wait for them and pull in when I notice something between myself and the car in the opposite spot, I look closer and it is a man sleeping on a cover. hmmm odd to say the least, so I pull up, get out to see how close I am to him, get back in pull up some more and get out. I lock the car and set the alarm and the guy wakes up and gives me a look, and I'm just like "what?" I'm basically all over the airport as I come in right by the security lines, so if I had a printer where I lived I'd be set as I would already have my ticket, but that isn't the case. Instead, I have to go all the way across the airport to the first level and find a kiosk to get my ticket, then get all the way back to where I already was. bla, finally get through all that and get to my terminal about 10 minutes before boarding, which is plenty of time to hit the bar for a beer and watch the US open. I always board last since I'm usually in the front of the non 1st class part since I pay the extra $15 for the exit row or whatever, so I board about 5 or 10 minutes before takeoff time. We just sit there though and sit some more until its about 45 minutes after scheduled takeoff, then they have us deboard the plane... wonderful. I get off the plane go grab a beer and a sandwhich and get back to the terminal and get online and play some 50/100. I proceed to lose about $1500, which is just wonderful. But they are saying we will be on the plane in a few minutes so I am pleased about that, well a few minutes goes by and its going to be a few more, and then the flight is frickin canceled, but I can go to Minneapolis tonight and stay in a hotel and leave to Indy from there Sun morning, bla, no dice. This woman tells me that Southwest has a flight leaving in 2 hours so I call them and book a ticket and here I am, in the shittiest airport terminal I have ever been in, people everywhere, not even a seat for half of us, oh well done rant, as apparently we are boarding soon and from what I understand its a free for all, open seating, wtf..... |
