I am writing this from JB terminal in JFK.
I was supposed to fly SEA-JFK-BTV with the airline. Interestingly enough , they have only 1 flight a day on the JFK-SEA route.
So, I went on their website and checked the arrival time on this puppy. It was supposed to LEAVE SEA at 1:05 am , but it was showing 1:45 am arrival. With 9:00 am scheduled (read padded) arrival time I called JB and told them I will be missing my connection to BTV. I wanted them to put me on either CO, US or UA red-eyes so that I can be there on time.
Well, they denied it.. Went to gate B15. I asked about the delay and inquired the same way. They said that we were going to leave at 1:10 am regardless of what the website said. I didn't buy it, but that's ok..
So, we push back at 2:05am and take off 5 mins after that.. Buy the time we get to JFK it was 9:45 am. We were told to sit down except the pax for BTV and ROC. They told us that they were holding aircraft for both desitnations and we should be ok..
So, I get to the gate 7. The flight left already.. Hmm.. Then I asked them if they could out me on the AAEagle flight JFK-YUL which is my final destination. They said no which is uderstandable because my contract with them was for SEA-JFK-BTV delivery. :P
Then I asked them if I could get a credit for the JFK-BTV leg, so that I can run to AA terminal and buy a one way fare to YUL.
That was turned down too..
So, here I am spending 5 hrs at this lousy terminal, waiting for my 3:30 pm flight after a red-eye.. It sucks..
