My own airline story wasn't too bad, with a few inconveniences here and there.
HNL to PHX 10:55 pm original departure time (odt)
Delayed coming out of Hawaii 2 hours due to a faulty fuel pump. Not amused for having stayed in the plane while they fixed the problem, but glad it was found out before taking off. Added plus? Empty seat next to me! Yaaaa!
PHX to TUS 8:54 am odt
Missed the connecting flight to Tucson and was re-booked for the 1:30 pm flight. Having anticipated our late arrival, US Airways handled the situation pretty well with agents waiting with our new connecting tickets. Unfortunately the trend of being delayed continued as the flight was pushed back till 2:30 pm due to late arriving plane & a/c problems. Ultimately wasn't fixed, and they allowed us on board for takeoff ... or so we thought. Mesa didn't think the plane would be fixed in time so they sent our baggage to another gate/plane. A hour wait while they loaded up the baggage on our plane, everyone was pretty much miserable with no a/c. And let's be honest, it was getting a bit ripe in there. Finally, finally took off, and finally finally Tucson!
My butt hurts, the feet are crampy, am hungry & grouchy, but my mouth is at least minty fresh, I'm alive, and have Comic Con to look forward too. ^5 glass half full.
Still have a 6+ hours road trip to San Diego to look forward too. At least it will be with good company. Extremely good company.
