To many seasoned travelers here, it seems that 12 hours at the airport because of weather related issues is not the worst thing that can happen, and certainly doesn't warrent the typical "I will not be flying CO again".
Actually it does. I may be only 19, but I've traveled enough to have a basic sense of what an airline should do. This was a nightmare, spending a day at an airport when I'm on spring break is not very fun. Mabey I should have planned better but whatever. I went to the airport to see what I could do. I certainly wasn't going to sit around. Like I said in my report, I couldn't call CO or any other airline because the numbers were all busy. Next time it's Delta. Like I said, this is the last time I will fly with them.
