TimeOut

Last Thursday I endured a rather difficult journey from Denver to West Palm Beach FL. I had a flight from Denver to Dallas at 9am. It was supposed to have a 50 minute layover and then head to FLA for a 4:30pm or so arrival EST. Board the plane on time in ... 

That sucks to hear about your flight but fortunately you got home safely. Yeah, I usually hate flying as you are at the total mercy of the airlines and despite how nice the FA's and check in counter/gate/lounge personnel are and even if you are traveling ... 

Every flight oversold, trouble with the overhead bins and passengers taking way more on board, rude staff... it is a tough business. I have no problems with flying, but I sure loathe the process.

I must say that despite being a fairly frequent traveller, I have fortunately experienced very few hardships while flying. Of course I have been stranded due to snow, ice, volcanic ash and the like, but it always caught me on land rather than in the air. ... 

Thanks for the story!

As we approached Houston the pilot informed us due to weather we could not land. After about 90 minutes of circling the captain told us we had enough fuel to get to Austin. Once in Austin we were told we could not leave the plane, after two hours we were ... 

I could tell as we taxied in I was not going to catch a direct flight from there to Palm Beach! Unfortunately no APs on this trip. I usually go through Fort Lauderdale and visit my friends at the Boutique, but not this time. In fact, I hardly saw a nice w... 

Hi, Michael, Sorry you had to endure that. Over the past several years I've averaged 250k miles a year or more (true airmiles) with generally about 4-6 round trips per month. I can't say I've seen or experienced everything, but * we had to make an unsched...

Kind of a side note to this thread topic, but anywhere I go, or when I get real swamped with life, I always feel home when I log back in here That is a continued testament to you and this incredible Community. As for flying, yes, I had a feeling you have ... 

All of the US airlines suck these days, and the 2 worst (especially out of Denver) are Southwest (they charge for everything and anything), and American Airlines. Frontier is okay but they have those stupid 'animals on the tail' commercials instead of let... 

AA. I did not mention it earlier because it could happen on any airline. But I will say, in this limited experience on American, the flight attendants were rather inconsiderate across the board. I have not encountered that on other airlines.
