I travel a lot for work. Fortunately, I have only ever had one work related flight issue. I missed a connection because of a delay getting to that airport. Caused me an extra 1.5 hour layover, nothing big.
The ONLY time I ever traveled for vacation though, that is another story. My wife and I are in the Boston area. We went to Phoenix for our vacation. We traveled out of Rhode Island because it was cheaper and our friends live close by that airport. Before we booked flights I told my wife I was willing to fly any airline except for the following: US Air, United, and American Airlines. I just didn't like their planes. So of course, we fly out on United.
We get to Phoenix, have a great week, and then it is time to get home. Our flight is connecting through Chicago to Providence. We learn when we get to the airport that our flight from Chicago to Providence is cancelled because of windy conditions. Yup. Wind. So we take the flight to Chicago on US Air now (we had missed our original United flight trying to figure out how best to get home) figuring we can fly into any of the Boston area airports, and surely O'Hare in Chicago would have plenty of flights going that way right? Nope.
We get to Chicago and learn that they have nothing going to Boston for the next three days! After a couple hours of phone calls, trips back and forth to Customer Service queues, we finally decide to take a flight to Newark New Jersey and rent a car to drive home. And to top it all off for me, the only flight available to get to Newark was American Airlines.
So I flew on ONLY the three airlines I didn't want to, had to drive 9 hours home from Newark AFTER two flight re-routes, and arrived home a full day later than anticipated. |
Oh shit! That sounds awful! Oi, everything that could've gone wrong for you that day, did XD Oh man, was the car ride at least nice?

You mean the car ride after I had told my wife, for the first and subsequently only time ever, to "shut the fuck up" at the airport? Oh yea, it was peachy. :)
