It just keeps getting better and better...
The 12:45 flight to DFW that turned into the 2:15 flight that turned into the 4:00 flight... that turned into the 4:45 flight... that then got cancelled....
The Gate Agent just announces that ALL luggage is being returned to the baggage claim. It just so happened that I was on the phone with the AAdvantage Platinum line and the lady quickly rebooks me on the 4:00 (now 5:15). I ask the GA if I can just forward my bags along without having to go back down, reclaim them, check in again AND go through TSA again....
The answer... "No, I am done with this flight." Waved her arms at the line and walked away....
I feel for the GAs, but the lady on the Platinum Line heard it all... and said, "Wow... ummm... sorry...."
I knew this was going to be a bad day when the battery for the shuttle bus at the Doubletree died... and we had to get another van.... this, as they say, was a sign....
Soooo....for the class I have to teach in Houston tomorrow, I am going to fly into DFW, rent a car and drive to Houston....
Pay attention to the signs, they don't lie.....
