Trip Report: DEN-SEA (LONG!)
 

(SOUND OF LOUD CAT'S MEOW!) OK! WAKEY WAKEY!

Also had some at the RCC EAST, Denver to have a SAMS and have the bartender ask my about my flying. I said I was about a half hour early. He said "hopefully your luck holds out."

IT DIDN"T! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

UA FGT 1447: the first thing I notice on this 757 is almost everyone in first has Red Carpet Luggage tags and we all board in sinc.
Got seated next to a nice gentlemen who asked about my upgrade secrets. I thought he was a UA employee because he had his I-D badge on his belt, but later found he wasn't.

IN FACT: NO U-A WORKERS ON ANY OF MY FLIGHTS. MAYBE MATT'S LETTER HAD SOME ACTION!

I was chatting with this gentleman and I was just three words from being finished when this SCHOOL MARM of an F-A leans in my face says "Do you mind ceasing your little conversation so you can watch the safety video?" I said "Well I just finished."

It was the old safety video.

We taxi out to the runway and stop when the captain says "We have a little rain storm that should pass over us quickly." 45 minutes later, the storm (with the speed of De-LAH-TAH's flights out of ATL) finally passes and we finally take off.

Luckily the School Marm flight attendant was helped by a nice gentleman named Chris who took the drink orders. I annoyed the School Marm by asking her to repeat the meal order (I could not hear her by the chatty couple behind me talking a mile a minute.) She said the "Snack" was a either a chicken caesar salad or a Tuscan quesadilla (which I asked "do you have a Tuscan?" I got it.)

(I call her School Marm because she reminds me of the Third Grade teacher who tormented me all that year and thought I was "totally odd.")

The flight was otherwise uneventful but the School Marm got more friendly as we neared landing. I think she even cracked a smile.

We ended up getting in 45 minutes late at SEA-TAC. Called DTTB and after navigating the SEA-TAC subway met up with her to find Newself at the Alaska Air Luggage area.

Understand those of us who are busy working.

But for some of youze... STOP THAT SNORING! IT"S FRIGHTENING my CATS! MY reports can't be that boring!

I'm now very sad! http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Remember, safety first Catman. Nic to hear that the FA was SO concerned about you! Thanks.

Boffo Trip Report Catman! I was riveted! Especially that exciting bit about the school marme! No, really...it was a great report. I was just too busy to get here for a few days. http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
