    Man, oh man!

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      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 !

        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.

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

                a great story that captures the true meaning of Festivus.

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

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

                          @89th said in I also hate “interesting” flights:

                          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.

                          Education is extremely important.
