No one has mastered the principle of Hurry Up and Wait like the airlines. Bless them, it's not always (or even usually) their fault. But, it is still miserable to be stuck on the runway for an hour. Especially stuck on the runway for an hour just before a 4 1/2 hour flight! Yeah, and then the pilot comes on and says... it'll be another 15 minutes! You know that went down like a lead balloon.
Never mind. we're finally on our way. I'm shattered, but looking forward to meeting my friend. And sleeping. Going to be honest. Looking forward to sleeping.
6 am flight tomorrow's going to be "fun". But, it shouldn't be a full flight. Fingers crossed again!

Hurry Up and Wait
Sunday, 7 August 2011
Seriously EVERY FLIGHT!
I'm not joking. Every flight I've been waiting for has made the following announcement:
We do apologise for the delay in boarding. This is due to the late arrival of your aircraft. It is currently being cleaned, refuelled and catered. Please note, we still expect an ontime departure.
What the heck? Was every flight out of the US delayed? Was there some huge headwind? What's going on?
