We were in the Boston area for Christmas and had an interesting time getting to Boston and home again.
On the way there, we cleared American customs in Calgary to find that the aircraft we would be flying on would be 3 hours late due to fog the previous day in San Fran. Checked on the way to the airport, no delays reported.... Oh well, stuff happpens.
On the way home, we were re routed through O'hare but didn't know that until we reached the airport. We had to wait for almost 6 hours in Logan for our rescheduled flight.
On the positive side the woman at the check in desk for United was fantastic. She took our bags early and gave us lunch vouchers.
On the not so positive side, as we were getting ready to push back there was an announcement that I didn't hear (getting old and my hearing has never been good) that because the flight was full, that you couldn't store your jackets in the overhead bins! I was quite taken aback when the male flight attendant asked who owned the three jackets in the overhead and very rudely dumped them in my lap! That is what overhead bins are for, jackets and briefcases and the like not your fricking luggage!
Check your bags next time you cheap f%#ks.... I did!
Next time I am going to bring one of those cheap light nylon bag/backpack things to stuff all our winter jackets into.
The return trip ended up being a 19 hour day from door to door.....
Ok, rant over.....
