aidenfiream now home safe after like ten hours in the airport for a total of ~2 hours in the air. Story of my day:
-Set alarm wrong, wake up to phone call "Hey, your taxi is waiting, where are you?" Roll out of bed and grab stuff in about three minutes. Forget things including cell phone charger, hair brush, and retainer.
-Get to airport. Find that all flights going to chicago (where I'm to catch my connector home) are delayed by about four hours. With the delay, I wasn't going to be able to catch my flight in chicago on my original flight. So they put me on the flight that was scheduled to leave at 10. We actually leave around 2.
-Get to Chicago. I'm feeling pretty good, plenty of time to catch my flight. I look at the flight board...and the 1:30 flight to my city was canceled. I worry a little, because this was what started happening when I was stranded in new york last summer after visiting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silentauror with thinkpink4891, but my flight is still supposedly on time, so I try not to fret.
-I should have. I'm sitting at my gate, and I see postings for the 5:15 flight, the 5:30 flight, 5:40 flight, then a 6:05 flight. My flight was scheduled for 5:45. I think maybe they changed the gate, so I go and ask the attendent. Nope, it's cancelled. Along with all flights going to my city until tomorrow afternoon. greatttt.
-so, they put me on a flight to a different airport. This of course means that I have no luggage. The flight they put me on was scheduled for 3:30, so we actually got out at 7. The cities are about the same distance from my house, so I only got home about an hour later than I would have but. alkjdflkjdf. stress stress stressful day.
but home now. thank god.
