MINOR COMPLICATIONS...
Well the title explains it all pretty much, I had the itinerary and flight information in my e-mail for about a month, and yet I still read the departure time incorrectly..
So while I was thinking that the flight was at 1:30PM, it was actually at 11:30AM.
I was packing still at about 10:50AM when looking at the E-mail I realized the flight time mistake.
In addition, we were being told that all connecting flights from Dallas to Vegas, were sold out for the rest of the day and that we are pretty much out of luck. We had the option to wait as stand-by passengers!! Or pay $800 a ticket to be confirmed passengers!
NOT GOOD!! However, some magic had to be worked on these stubborn AMERICAN AIRLINE employees, who don't seem to care much about their customers. I don't say this because of only this one experience as well, these guys treat you like absolute garbage for how much money you are spending on their service. Luckily this is not all of them, and you can still find some good people who understand the frustration of this whole process.
This is the second wave of excitement as we thought we were no longer going. That is why you see these large smiles as we wait in the airport to board the plane to VEGAS! In addition the gate attendant for American Airlines was holding a grudge against the Vegas crew for some reason. When she left, we approached another guy who confirmed us on the next flight. When we were boarding, the lady and her fellow friend who wanted to charge us 800 dollars to fly on the later routes, were astonished to see our tickets as confirmed passengers. And as we are walking down the JET BRIDGE I heard them arguing about who confirmed us! HAHA! Sorry ladies..
Well, I am glad to say we made it to Vegas, I wish I could say the complications were out of the way, but you never know what is going to happen in Vegas... one thing is for sure though, is that it will stay, along with your MONEY..
Okay, well this is the first part, so this way you can get the full story!! But as of now, all you need to know is to NEVER book a flight with AMERICAN AIRLINES... :P jokes, but take it into consideration. Once everything was straightened out this was said .. "What would a free trip to Vegas be, without some minor complications." That is correct, and I had a good feeling that this would only add to the adventure up ahead!
Stay tuned for the next BLOG.. :)
Killing time and beers in Chicago..
sincerely,
VEGAS CREW!!
