Airport Incident Rant

[deeredawn]

HAHA! Actually, I kinda WISH someone would be on there to talk chickens with. I'm a total farmgirl.... so idle chit chat is limited for me... although TV is giving me all the up-to-date info on Michael Jackson... I'd still rather talk barnyard!!

Don't fly with Air Trans. They were origonally Value Jet that went down in the Everglades. They over book and bump you and don't care if you get where you are going or not. I WILL NEVER FLY WITH THEM AGAIN!!!!

My grandsons father lives on the west coast(when he is not deployed somewhere in the world) His mother lives in fla. so he flies coast to coast twice a year. this year he spend some time in tenn with us. My DD took him to the airport and I had told him NOT to check his bag with his X Box inside, since it would probable be LOST if he did, so going thru security, his X Box shows up. DD was shocked at least when the operator starting screaming, security, security, they were pulled out of line and everything in his luggage checked at least twice.DD and SIL didn't know what to do, GS sat down and started playing his video game. He's used to it. Guess they expect a 10 year old with an X Box is gonna blow up a plane.guess they did;t have any kids to know what an X box is. this was southwest airlines, since they don't charge extra for luggage. He usually flies frontier but they charge a fee for and unaccompanied child Plus baggage. S/W doesn't.

I'm sitting at the airport right now! Waiting. Had to take my hat, belt, jacket and boots off just to go through security. Walked around half dressed cause they don't have room for everyone to sit and get themselfs back togother.
Security asked what the "substance" on my boots was? Told them I didn't know, it could be rabbit, duck, chicken, turkey, pig or dog poop! Their guess is as good as mine, but their the ones that insisted I put my boots on their conveyor.

Those are the same tips I would have shared. I've done plenty of flying, including to international destinations. I always print the airport maps and have our gates highlighted on them. You can also download them as PDFs so you have them on your iPod Touch or smartphone (if you own one).
