Stupid pilots not able to land in fog, making me miss my connection!

We landed at 9:30, my connection left at 9:25. There were 20 other people going to San Francisco, but they didn't hold it. The people in front of me took the few spots left on the connecting flight through Chicago, I took the last seat on the 6:00 direct, and I feel real sorry for the people behind me!

Now I have a ton of time to kill here in Charlotte Airport......

[sanjuro]

You're going to San Francisco?

I plan on it! Only thing that sucks is I have to work when I get there!

You're going to San Francisco?

Hopefully! Heading to Half Moon Bay for work.

Try being stuck in Mexico City airport for 8 hours, during renovations, starting at 4 am. Ugh. NIGHTMARE

much better to plow the plane into the runway over-run in an attempt to make customers happy


7 hrs is a pain but it aint fatal

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Yeah I've done a few overnights in DFW. I know, it's a giant ass airport with everything, but still, it blows. To bad I wasn't legal drinking age, it would make it so much more fun.

Ha! I had a layover there a few weeks ago. Go count the mullets at the NASCAR restaurant.

so this would be a bad time to tell you about how fun we had building and riding out at shawn's place this weekend?

oh and air travel sucks even without delays, but I'd rather be stuck in airport than a pine box.

I fly 150K+ per year and 7 hours is my record at Narita. Sushi, ramen noodles and kirin helped pass the time.

we had to stay over night in Denver from 10pm to noon the next day when when our plane turned around way pass half way enroute to Dallas when they found some minor mechanical issues with the plane. Why they decided to turn around I have no clue. anyhow we landed in Denver around 10 but no flights were available.

AA expected us to sit in the airport over night. took 20 angry guys threatening to beat the sh*t out of the crew to get hotel vouchers and transportation(took over 2 hours of non-stop threats). That was of course pre 2001, if we did that today all of us would have been thrown in jail for what we said.

 

[Austin Bike]

They turn around because they did not have a slot for you to land in. It's pretty common to have that happen. They also don't like to drop into non-hub airports, which is why you don't see them drop in on Kansas City in that situation.

I did get nice and drunk at Chili's Too watching the first half of the Patriots game. By the time I got on the plane, I was pretty confused. I thought my gate number was my seat number, and couldn't figure out why I was in seat B-13, instead of 13-B. Really, I was in 10E, the damn middle
