3.5 - UA Shuttle in coach SFO-LAX. There is a light mist at SFO.

Ring. Ring.

G: Hello? (It's 4.15am)

UA: Mr. Greg99, this is United Airlines 1K desk calling - your 7am SFO-LAX flight has been cancelled due to weather. We've been able to reprotect you on the 6am flight.

G: But you just woke me up. I live an hour and ten minutes from the airport, and my flight is in an hour and 45 minutes.

UA: Well, traffic shouldn't be bad at this time of the morning.

G: OK, has my upgrade at least been protected?

UA: No, you've been put on the priority waitlist, though.

G: Ah. Can you get me a seat assignment, at least an aisle?

G & UA (in unison): Sorry, it's under airport control.


Despite that, I'd still probably have to go with Shadow and pick #4 as the deepest level of hell.
