Thank you for flying America West…for the last time.

Thank you for flying America West…for the last time.

So my business finished up early here in Philly so I wanted to grab an earlier flight with America West. There were a couple of America West flights out of Philly and a few US Airways. I figured I’d at least get one.

Stupid, stupid man. After standing in line for 30 minutes watching the four idiots behind the counter try to figure out one ticket for one man, I learned the America West flights had been canceled. The agent informed me that the system with US Airways hadn’t been joined yet, so he couldn’t do anything.

So I said, “Fine, just check me in”.
“I can’t check you in until four hours before your flight”
“Well this is the last time I fly your airline.”

I wish I had a better retort, but I mean that’s all you can say then. If I do have a choice I never will fly them again. So, I leave Philly at 8:20pm, get to Vegas at 11pm and turn around to fly to Portland. I really wish I had more time in Vegas, but I pretty much will have to go directly to the next plane.

Right now I’m in an airport hotel restaurant, trying to pass the time. At least they have wifi.
