Waiting at the airport

Ack! My flight was canceled!

They called me about 2 and a half hours before the scheduled departure to tell me my flight was canceled for mechanical reasons. That's fine, I don't want to fly on a plane that is defective, but then trying to get to San Francisco before 11am was intensely frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful. Twice I called the airline to make alternate arrangements, and was disconnected both times. Finally, an hour later, they told me no can do. So frustrating! Especially when it happens before I get any caffeine.

Now that I've eaten and had some diet cola, I can calmly go to the customer service desk to complain until they either put me in first class for both flights or give me some frequent flyer miles.

It's disappointing because I scheduled the flight specifically so I could arrive in SF in time to go to a noon-time concert with sparkle.

I am trying to maintain a positive attitude on this very exciting election day, and I am very happy that the Las Vegas airport has free Wi-Fi.
