I do not recommend US Airways for anyone who needs to be anywhere on time. But, to date, I can honestly say I have never travelled on business and have probably saved myself a few gray hairs in the meantime. As it turned out, since US Airways codeshared this flight with Air Wisconsin (?), I ended up at the OTHER terminal from the one Karl was expecting, and I got to know MCO a little more than was necessary. But I’m not complaining about being at the positive end of the major screwup by US Airways re: assigned seating. I checked myself in at the kiosk in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and nabbed the emergency exit row window seat (with no flight attendant in front of me), while a family who’d actually reserved seats in that row were scattered and bumped further back. The couple beside me wouldn’t give up their seats, so giving up mine wouldn’t have made a difference. OOF! — was the father ever steaming!
Consequently, thanks to the delayed flight and the bit of waiting while Karl and I tried to find each other, the very first utterance out of my mouth was “I’M STARVING!!!!” — but that was AFTER I almost accidentally got into a total stranger’s car by mistake. A car that was the same colour as Karl’s, but the tinted windows and gaudy trinkets hanging off the the rearview mirrow should’ve tipped me off that I knocked on the wrong window and tried to open the door handle! Oops!
It would be nothing short of sheer lunacy that I would end up in FLORIDA in the hottest month of the year, wouldn’t it? But here I am.
