I also hate “interesting” flights

Ouch. Sorry to hear that

Mayla’s friends flew in Saturday from Sarasota. 11am flight delayed to 1, then 2, then 4:30. The pilot had to land in Charlotte because he was over his time limit. They didn’t deplane, a new pilot came on and got them to LGA at 9pm.

Well it looks like @Jolly was right.... 7am flights usually take off on time. But as you can see, the rest of the trip can be FUBAR. Sorry @Mik !

[Mik]

Not too bad. Should be the same plane, only cost is a couple hours. Fingers crossed.

I can just see the Good Samaritan doc, say an internist, or dare I say, a surgeon jumping up and going to the back of plane expecting some elderly with chest pain and finding instead a nutter muttering nonsense.

Did he have the fish?

[Mik]

Made it. Only other incident was someone’s dog crapped in the terminal in LAS. One would believe they knew and did nothing.

[kluurs]

a great story that captures the true meaning of Festivus.

[Mik]

That’s a totes legit grievance.

[Renauda]

I just dislike airports and all the rigamarole involving time and humanity between the building entrance and the boarding gate.

[Mik]

We made the news.

Glad it made the news but holy crap I hate articles like that which provide nearly zero details (aka journalism).

It's more realistic and admirable for a journalist to just go to print with no details, rather than making them up on the fly. It's a formative experience for all of us when we develop a certain level of knowledge about some specific thing, then read a news story about that thing. Yeah, they're all that misinformed, you just noticed this one.
