Stuck in the f*!king airport!

So, this year I get to travel from Statesboro, GA to Sheridan, WY.  I had to drive from Statesboro to Savannah, GA.  My flight left out of Savannah on time and got to Houston on time.  Our plane in Houston got in 10 minutes late and then was delayed another 35 minutes because there was a problem with a seat!  But it doesn't end there.  After that flight from Houston got to Denver, I made my connection to the Denver to Sheridan flight by bitching at the flight attendent to make the announcement for the other passangers to let thoes of us with tight connections off first.  So, I got down to the gate with 5 minutes to spare!  Yea! But, no.  Sonsabitches wouldn't let me and one other guy on because we happened to make it there at the last minute and they had "weight restrictions".  Every time that anyone I know has flown with this particular airline, they have had weight restrictions.  I can't help but thinking, is the pilot a total lard ass or something?  Or why don't we just get a plane that will actually take an ass in each seat?  Ufda!  Anyway, now they stuck me on the 7 pm flight to Sheridan...we'll see how that goes. 

My wife flew from Dallas to Denver yesterday.  She got to Denver and they put them on the plane, then off the plane, then on the plane, then off the plane, literally.  Then, being it was now like 1 am (they were supposed to leave at 7), they decided to put the passangers up in a hotel.  But they did not have any more flights until Monday.  So, me, leaving a day after her, will get there a day before her. 

I tell ya, my ass will hurt for a long time after this.  Next time I am going to have to invest in a better lube.

Anyone else share my pain?

    me either

  • I've only been delayed once, but it was for 3 hours or so which sucked.
  • The worst is when they get everyone on the plane after a delay, then once you're on there they're all like, okay, well it'll be about another hour before we can even get in line to take off. Stuck in that little ass space with really nothing to do. It's happened a couple times.

    Holy crap, really!?? I was on 28 flights in 2008!

    Anyways, I feel for ya, MRN. There's so many things about air planes/ports that piss me off. Its like that South Park episode where Mr. Guerisson invents that mode of transportation that is just as efficient as air travel, but you need to insert a dildo into your ass and mouth before you take off... but its "still better than what you go through with the air lines"

    The absolute worst, as some people have said already, is waiting to take off once your one the plane itself. When you know you have a 4-5 hour flight ahead of you, and your sitting there for an hour before the plane takes off!! Man that grinds my gears.
  • I once missed an entire day of my vacation because of a plane delay. I was flying down to Virginia Beach and the plane was delayed, then delayed again, then I was assigned a new plane, and that was also delayed, then it was delayed again, then FINALLY after some complaining they assigned me a new plane, but it wasn't a direct route to Virginia, I had to get dropped off at another airport first, so basically after being in multiple airports and an entire day of plane delays, I wound up at my destination in Virginia. The reason for the delays were "technical difficulties", apparently a mechanism in the front wheels of the plane were malfunctioning.

    Does that include all your return and connecting flights?  Because if that's the case, then I've been on like 10+ flights this year. 
  • It's not travel related, but if it makes you feel better, on Christmas evening, maybe around 4 or so, I wound up getting a really bad stomach bug and was throwing up/having diarrhea for the rest of the night w/ a temp of about 105.  Then to top it off, I woke up in the middle of the night and I think I have pink eye.
  • My parents were delayed about 6 hrs here in Knoxville heading up to see my brother in ND.

    Yes, it does image


  • I think the most I've ever been delayed in an airport was like 45 minutes sitting on teh runway waiting for the plane to take off. Worked out fine, because I was heading for a 3 1/2 hour layover anyways, so it just made the layover that much shorter image.
  • Only been delyaed once, but luckily it was with my asshole dad. He fought with the airline for 2 hours, in the end we got upgraded to first class, and got two free nights in SF cali.
