If any of my dear loved ones here are flying American Airlines anytime soon (
@dhetiger specifically since he’s in Charlotte), DO NOT.
Long story short, I left for a wedding in Puerto Vallarta yesterday from Huntsville, connecting at DFW, to arrive by 11:30am local time.
Left at 6:50am and was in the air before the pilot told us he had to take a long route because of weather. Typical hour and fifteen flight to DFW took 3+ because he drove the bitch 50 miles out in the gulf and around Dallas before going back.
Missed flight to PV, which was frustrating but not the end of the world. As we began our quest for rebooking, we were told there were no other flights available yesterday OR today. So we wanted to get somewhere that COULD get us there. I shit all of you not, I tried every fcking airport in North America (the continent) to connect and get to my destination. ZERO…. except for one that connected in Mexico City tonight.
So here I sit at the Mexico City Aeropuerto, excited to finally get to Puerto Vallarta after paying a shitload not only for this damn resort, but for first class seats I didn’t get to sit in (💁♂️), and my motherfcking baggage (my formal wear and her formal wear, I don’t check bags for this very reason) is currently in Salt Lake City, Utah. A place I never intended to go.
I have defeated several American Airlines workers and finally got to the big boss who was an absolute battle axe but I prevailed.
Anywho, I’m off to my best friend’s wedding tonight and will arrive almost two days overdue at midnight and hope, HOPE to the good Lord, my bags are there at the 9:57am expected time.
I’m 6 margs deep and have absolutely no clue what the conversion rate is here, but Godspeed everyone.
TLDR- I’m still an apex predator.
Also TLDR- yes I voted, and I did it 7 times for myself and 2 for my Mema and Granddaddy who died in 2009 and 2016 respectively.
