It's just me, my son, and my Treo PDA at the Denver Intl airport this evening and I'm not sure when I'll get out of here. Supposedly a broken windshield has held up the plane making my April 1, 5:50p.m. Sun Country flight a 12:30a.m. April 2 flight. I got an 8 dollar meal voucher and we get a $100 credit towards a future flight. Does that sound like standard for such inconvenience?
So are you going to quit FR?
Some airlines will give you a date with a flight attendant to kill time. Check out Hooters Airline.
I'd insist on at least 3 extra bags of those in-flight peanuts.
Just be thankful you're not flying Donner Airlines.
lol!
My advice - go mug a Hari Krishna. He may not have any money but you'll feel better... ;-)
Better a broken windshield on the ground than a broken windshield at 30,000 feet.
when we are stuck in Denver we go to the new Holiday innExpress right near the airport. Get the upgrade room and they have a free mini bar, all you can eat of wine, beer, m and m's , candy bars. It is worth it!! And they have HBO!
Go for it and get drunk.
Where ya going? I'll wave when -- IF you pass over Kansas.
One word comes to mind.......
Heaven
Hell with that. Tell them you want a room at a nice hotel and you want it NOW!
See if you can swap the voucher for an upgrade to first class, because you're going to be so tired when you fly that you'll want to sleep, and you can only really sleep where there is real leg room. :)
(By the by, usually the vouchers are only good for tickets purchased at the counter, and how often do you purchase tickets at the counter?)
The $100 for a late flight is actually pretty generous. Usually they just give you the meal voucher. I wouldn't gripe too much.
This is Sun Country, after all. What did you expect? (I have vowed never again to fly SunCountry. Too many hassles. Sure it's cheap. But in their case you get what you pay for.)
Sure, at least for the next eight hours. Need sleep. Still at Denver airport and it's midnight.
lol!
LOL. Better make certain there is proper cleavage clearance otherwise you'll be copped by the clever clapper caper constables.
LOL, that one took me by surprise.
I'm in Iraq and all they gave me was a soggy ham and cheese sandwich and a Heineken near-beer.
Next time, book a flight on Tornado Air. The round trip is really quick.
