Oh god oh god oh god. I have to fly the dreaded US Airways again.
I made a vow in 2006 to never fly them again and have since opted for flights that are sometimes more expensive just to avoid them. So I am redesigning my vow to state that I will never spend a single cent of MY money on US Airways. As this will be for a business trip (and I had no say in the airlines), I’m okay.
On the pre-eve (eve-eve?) of my four year wedding anniversary let me tell you a little story.
After our incredibly beautiful wedding (clearly I’m biased but still) in Hawaii we took off across the country for a honeymoon cruise departing from Barbados. Everything was going great until we had to get off of our flight out of Charleston due to the plane’s mechanical difficulties that meant we were going to be missing our connecting flight in Puerto Rico to Barbados. The next flight would get us into Barbados the day after our cruise left. Being the overly cautious person I am, we had even decided to fly into Barbados a good 24+ hours in advance of our cruise. Apparently that wasn’t good enough.
So we got rebooked by 2 incredibly rude US Airways flight attendants on a flight up to Toronto (read: north… by a lot) for a 12 hour layover before a flight down to Barbados, arriving the morning of our cruise. As it was the only flight that could get us there in time. Does no one fly to Barbados?
