And then the Alaska Airlines flight from Sacramento to Seattle being late, caused me to miss my connection -- the connecting fligt was still there and the person who guards the door was still there, but my seat had been given to someone else when I didn't show, although they knew I was on the flight that was landing when it happened and that I could, in all probability, make it. I had been sent, still dragging my carry on and walking with a cane, on a 15 minute hike to get to this door because my original flight told me that the plane was still boarding and they had called to tell them I was coming. Then, when I stood stunned in front of the person who told me I was out of luck and blurted out, "For this shit I purchased a first class ticket?" I got sent back to the gate I had deplaned at and had to wait six hours for the next flight to Juneau. Which meant I had to call my son to please go feed my cats and the friend who was coming to the airport to pick me up and ask if he could make it at 3 a.m., since I didn't think I could manage to stagger to a cab at that point. And, I got patted down both in Sacramento and Seattle because I'm a fat woman in her 60s and obviously must be patted down so no terrorist will think they are profiling. <br /><br />I used to love travel.

I mean, all airlines, as you point out, can get away with insane crap in this country, but I had so many bad experiences with Delta that I just refuse to fly with them, no matter how low the fare. There was one night spent in the rattiest possible hotel near D.C., where a party was going on until 3am, because they screwed up one of my connections. They gave me a puny packet of toiletries to "make up" for holding my luggage hostage overnight--and then wanted me to <i>tip the shuttle driver they hired</i> to get me back to the airport. Y'all have got to be kidding!<br /><br />Delta has been massively overselling and under-serving for years, many of their reps are seriously rude as hell, and their planes are almost always very, very late. I don't feel in the least bit sorry for them in their current financial crisis--it's the kind of thing that <i>ought</i> to happen to people who run their businesses so poorly!Ancrene Wiseasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075637582360688845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-73946179257448577632007-01-22T13:43:00.000-06:002007-01-22T13:43:00.000-06:00girl, I had the same shit happening to me!!! i di...girl, I had the same shit happening to me!!! i didn't get home until almost 3 in the morning and I was supposed to be home at 9pm!!!!!
