I am currently flying at 30,000ft somewhere over Hudson’s Bay and I have never used an Internet connection on an airline before so, even though I don’t have much to say, I am posting this just because I can. I also happen to have a lot of time on my hands (still 7 hours to go) and the films are pretty bad (Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey).
So far the trip has not been entirely without problems. I started off with the hope of flying from Sacramento to Chicago to Manchester. Alas, bad weather in Chicago forced a re-routing through LA (not exactly the right direction) to Frankfurt (we actually will fly over Manchester) and back to Manchester. Just another 4 hours more – what’s 4 hours when you are traveling that far?
The whole process for rebooking my ticket in Sacramento this morning turned into quite an event – it literally took 35 minutes of the airline agent’s time to complete the transaction. Don’t ask me why. When I walked away from the counter I got a standing ovation from the crowd in line behind me (yes there was only one agent working the International check-ins in Sacramento). I also got an escort to the plane which was being held just for me. How about that!
