So I am checking into my hotel in Boston Friday night, and in behind me walks this young lady visibly agitated, cursing out an airline under her breath....
After she gets checked in she starts talking to me just because I am next to her on line--air travel sucks, airline people are rude etc.....
She tells me she missed her connection because her originating flight arrived late. She got to her connecting gate before the door closed and they refused to let her on--the excuse being that she had to travel with her bag, and no way her bag would make the flight. She went on and on how rude and nasty the airline people were. Then she said that she finally got here (BOS), and her bag HAD made the flight that she was denied boarding on, and she was PISSED.
Before I could even ask her for her connecting city, or what airline she was on, due to the nature of her gripe, I just said "sounds to me like you were on US Airways"...note I was KIDDING.
Her response??? "HOW DID YOU KNOW?????"
Her experience was in CLT.....
It just shows to go you.......
I hate being right at times like this.
Oh...and I DROVE to Boston--took a leisurely ride out to Orient Point, took the ferry to New London and drove 2 nice hours to Boston. While I am ranting, I will say that the nav system in my car took me to where it thought my hotel was, but it was 3 miles from the true location. I guess the Nav program was written by US IT.
