Waiting in the Airport

Tick Tick Tick

Flight @ 7pm to Chicago.

5:40 PM arrive at airport. eCheckin – “Please see attendant”

40 minutes in line – “Oh, you are going to CHICAGO”, “Yes I am”,  “Oh”

“Oh what?” I said.

“Well your flight is delayed, the flight I will put you on standby is also delayed and the flight from this afternoon was cancelled.”

From “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” came running through my mind that I was F**ked!

“What are my options” I said to the acting nice attendant (not an Oscar award winning job)

“I can out you on standby to the most recently delayed flight and also on standby in case they add the canceled flight back in but you will still have a seat on your original flight if all else fails”

“What time do we think any of this will be?” I said.

“We do not know so you need to go to the gate”

 

AND WAIT!

 

I was right!  8 PM and still sitting here.
