I know, I'm one of them...
My red eye flight Friday night went from Los Angeles to Phoenix to Las Vegas then to Indy. When my friend & I got to the gate, they said it would be delayed an hour. So, we went to the bar, had a drink, watched 100 meter dash heats... About an hour later, we go back & ask the girl when will it leave? The girl tells us it already left! Sh*t! I can't *&^% believe we missed the &^%$ flight! Around the desk there were 9 other guys who also missed the flight because they were at a bar or restaurant. ALL 11 OF US WERE HEADED TO THE F1 RACE! Out of 150 people on that flight maybe 30 were going to the race & 11 missed the flight!?! Therefore, American F1 fans are retarded! Stupid enough to wake up at 4 AM to watch races, one guy said… Anyways, we got on another flight that went to Vegas & barely caught up to our original flight.... After that, I knew I was in for a comedy time… |

Gore is a rat!!
Last Wendesday, I was flying AirTran from Orlando to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Greensboro, N.C. to meet relatives and drive up to the race. Both flights were delayed at least an hour, my knees were touching the seat in front of me, and they left my luggage back in Orlando! So, we were late in leaving for Indy because we had to drive back to the airport to pick it up. Also, the computers were down in Orlando, and I couldn't pay for the flight with a credit card, so they let me board anyway because I had a reserved seat, and in Atlanta, I had to pay cash (trip money) for the ticket.
On the way back, both flights were delayed several hours because of weather conditions in the city we were flying to. I was supposed to get home at 7:00 Monday night, I got home at midnight and had to be in class Tuesday morning at 8:00. (However, it was kind of cool to see all the people in the Atlanta airport with F1 clothing on.) I keep hearing on the news about how passengers are irate over airlines and all the hubbub about that. Now I understand. Next time, I think I'll drive. |

Just think how it will be in five years time when the current safety measures are stone-aged because of the increase in aviation, and there'll be a bad accident once a week if it's not improved...

Fiorentina! It was great! Flights are delayed everywhere in the world, but what is the question: would you be jumping around the desk or prefer to spend a good time? I believe I would go to the bar. But after I would give a good wigging untill they rush me to the circuit.
