grumblecakes
So as some of you may know, I was supposed to be flying to New York tonight for a few days for work. Well, after spending 5 hours waiting for my delayed flight at the airport, it was eventually cancelled.
Now I get to do it all over again at 8am.
However, a few bright spots
i) I have my good ol' apartment to come home to. Imagine having to go try to get a hotel figured out -- worst part? Because it wasn't the "airline's fault" you have to pay for the hotel yourself. What a grift.
ii) Half the people were rebooked for the 6am flight. Can you imagine spending from 6pm to 11pm at the airport, then being sent to a hotel...getting to your room at midnight, then getting up 3 hours later to head back to the airport?
