After getting stuck in LA all day I was one of 3 passengers on a Delta flight from Dallas to KC once. The fact that it landed in KC around 2 am..........
Had a similar flight from Cal. red eye to NYC. They moved the three of us to first class, wined and dined us, followed by good conversation. Felt like it was our private plane. Breakfast with a Bloody Mary watching the sun rise. On deplaning, stews gave each of us two bottles of wine in appreciation of our civilized undemanding behavior.
Best long flight ever. Look at me ma! King of the world feeling. LOL
I was once stuck in Shreveport...waiting for hours. I think American Airlines was trying to wait us out, and even told us we’d probably miss our connection in Dallas...but 5 of us were hold outs, and I think they actually flew the plane from Dallas to Shreveport to pick us up. Just 5 of us on the plane.
When we got to Dallas, sure enough the Dallas to KC flight had been delayed, and we had not missed it. Slightly more people, and landed in Dallas around 1:30.
Sounds like we had similar experiences with different airlines.
My family and I landed in KC AFTER the airport had closed. The whole place was deserted. Plus we had already been traveling for 36 straight hours. Plus we all had caught the flu. Plus we had a 15 month old baby with us.
My clearest memory was Mrs lafroste walking through the empty terminal loudly swearing like a sailor. I didn't even know she knew those words. Just wow.
Did they unroll the sidewalks for you at 2am? (I live in Leavenworth County) ;-P
sometimes I think they just need to get the plane to another airport
With my luck they both would have been fat and my seat would have been right between them.......
