Old Friends

150 Las Vegas, NV, Southwest Airlines-Phx Terminal 4 Gate D-3, 4-23-10

Another day that should have been simple in the world of travel as you all know it...But, for me, non-revenue passenger...Complicated & Painfully Irritating.

When you have benefits with United airlines and can fly "free" (Misnomer...Pay a fee that is sometimes more than an actual ticket) you grow accustomed to being the last on the plane and grateful for the seat in the middle with a child screaming on one side and a "who cares" parent on the other. But, what doesn't sit well with us less than the average paying customers is when we cannot get on the flippin' plane.

One hour flight to Vegas today turned into 9 hours at an airport with finally a reprieve when I left Phoenix and flew to Los Angeles where I FINALLY sat through only two more flights to actually get a seat on the next to last flight to Vegas. "Cocktails" anyone? Yes, please...Make mine a double.
