Myth 8: You can't fool Mother Nature

DIA was widely touted as an "all-weather" airport. There is no such thing...The airport also closed during the record March 2003 blizzard.
I remember that one. Was okay getting to the airport, on my morning 777 to SEA (*wax nostalgic*). At first we were expected to be empty, so my upgrade request to Business was promptly processed, but as the snow kept coming, she became not only the first plane going to SEA that day, but also the last plane, so they loaded her to the gills. Don't know how catering managed to load her for a full flight at the last minute, but they did. It was my first time in Business on a 777 and I have never sat anywhere else on one, since.
