High-flying and We Made It!

[realsorien]

As I write this I am WAY up in the are aboard the plane taking me to Philadelphia, and Anthrocon. It was... Interesting, at the airport...

As I mentioned in my previous post, our flight was changed from the USAir flight (Mesa Airlines was the subcarrier) to one on NWA. We checked our bags, and hit security; there is apparently an automatic flag if you are a transfer from another flight/airline, so we both got a little added attention... It'll be damn funny if they searched my luggage, especially when it came to re-closing the suitcase...

In any event, we got through with no troubles, just a routine thing. We proceeded to the gate (C4), and Lou went to get breakfast. I wasn't hungry, having eaten out with ataramos earlier. I got sat down, and about 10 minutes later they announced that our flight was now at gate G4... And Lou was still off getting food. So, I gathered our stuff together and headed to G4, knowing that I'd run into him.

I did, and after crossing ALL THE WAY across the terminal, we were finally at the right place. From there, things went FAST, and here I am.

I should never expect a smooth trip. You'd think I'd learn. (giggle) At least its not on the scale of the 'fun' that cuprohastes has experienced...

To add: We're here! I need to get styro cups for the tea party still, but I've most everything else.

Oddly, this time, I have very few problems, barring having my retur flight from Amsterday be the day before I arrive. A small handfull of cash and the appropriate words later, and my flight was changed.

Why'd you get there so late? I thought your flight departed at 7 this AM? Your re-scheduled flight, that is... It's only a 4-hour flight.

Well...

First, its a 2 1/2 hour flight. :)

Second, we got in on time, as scheduled. I just didn't set up the wifi connection til after we screwed around with getting fed and such.

Ahhh... Your post made it sound like you were logging in from either the air or the airport after just landing... My mistake...

Dude, be glad you got switched off US airways, I had the worst experience with them. I will Never use that airline again, I don't care if the tickets are five bucks.
