) to cancel a trip.
Maybe to You, but Im consistent (not saying youre arent) but Ive posted many times I fly not only certain aircraft but only certain seats as well.
41C is too far back and when you hit turbulence Look Out , you bounce up and down like a yo-yo back there. I know I took 44K to PEK cause SG had it as a Green seat. Never made that mistake ever again. The only time I ever got air sickness due to the bouncing a happenin.
So being 6'2" no way do I sit in a seat even an aisle if the seat next to me isnt empty. I book 32C or 32J (on a 777) if they arent available and 16C or J arent either, then I wont take that flight. Nothing to discuss.
the GA and the CSR at the Plat desk told me to take the 8pm flight, I said no way a 752 during Peak travel times! Turns out the 8pm finally left at 3:30am! and the 9:30 flight was KOed.
I feel bad for the misconnects who showed up at the gate 5 mins after the plane pushed back. They were told its not so bad you only have a 1 1/2 wait, which turned into a 9 hr wait! in the end and with the 3rd flight KOed you know there wasnt 1 single empty seat on that 752.
So the 56 sat an hour plus waiting for its take off turn, got in at 9:30am instead of 7:45am , which would have KOed my chances of seeing Versailles and I would have had a 6 hr layover to spend at CDG. I could have taken the 8:45am flight onto BUD but chose the 3:45pm to give me time to run to Versailles. Needless to say I would have missed the 8:45 flight anyway
Not going didnt really bother me as much as the 4 hr wait and Incompentence of the Baggage Office people simply moving you on without having done a proper check. Whenever I went back to them every hour or so, instead of looking it up in the computer they simply said due to teh weather I told you it would take long tonight just hang out at Carousel #9, maybe when I went to use the john it came up, when I got back it wasnt there and yes I checked the glass windows a few times, it was simply laying against the wall in the office with a ton of other bags, had they put those bags in the glass case at least those waiting would be able to see they are there.
