Flight Delayed

When you're traveling, one of the worst things to hear from the front counter are the words, "Flight Delayed". For my trip to NY, I heard that a total of 4 times: 3 times on my return trip. Normally delays aren't that bad, merely inconveniences, but when you're flying solo after staying up the entire night before, trying to stay awake for fear of missing the next announcement... it's one of the toughest marathons you will ever undergo.

After the reception, some people went to Flushing for Korean BBQ until approximately 3am, then Victor, Tina, and I took a cab to the airport cuz we all had morning flights. I think if anyone invents a device that makes it comfortable to sleep in hard plastic chairs, they would make bank, because it was actually pretty funny watching people try to sleep in the airport.

But yeah, on the return leg, here is the breakdown of my day.

4am: arrive @ LGA @ Northwest Terminal
~5:3oam: say goodbye to Tina and Vic (they left for their gate). Take shuttle to AA terminal
7:40am: board airplane to Dallas. Sleep in fitful 30 minute intervals.
12pm: land @ Dallas
2:20pm: receive our first delay announcement. Call Jorgy to inform about delay.
3:30pm: receive the second delay announcement. Call Jorgy. Decide to walk around to stay away. Find TVs showing the Dallas Cowboys game. (Thank GOD)
4:15pm: Informed that we're getting a plane, but it's just getting in... at a different terminal.
4:30pm: get on the plane, call Jorgy, pass out.
5:45pm: land in Austin.

Oh, all this was compounded with the fact that I was flying in coach for the first time in almost 10 years. How I miss first class. hahahha that sounded really bratty, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Coach seating SUCKS.
