at least you didn't depart at 3:50pm for a 11:40am AA flight. i'm sure some of you guys might've been on this one as well.

Had the worst flying experience in my life with airtran ... they overbooked everything ... ended up camping it out at Miami aiport for almost 10 hours. Then I went through Atlanta which was the scene of the biggest clusterfuck in airport history. Planes were getting cancelled everywhere, airline execs were offering to bus whole flights to their destination, and other flights they were telling people they couldn't get them to their destination until Tuesday. Luckily I made standby on a 3am flight. Just got into DC at 5am (late/early enough to take the goddamn metro home). I was supposed to get in at 3pm sunday, but I was never so happy to get out of that shit storm.

Yes AA sucks ass!!!!
Last year when I took AA, I was there 1hour before my flight and tried to do the self check-in thing. The computer was unable to process even when the credit card was the same one I booked with. So the front desk person from AA came and took over. She then spent 10mins clicking away and finally got it to work. Then as she was about to print the baggage tags the computer freezes and she told us oopps!!! you have passed the 40min cut off time and now you have to take a later flight. I'm like WTF right, I was here before the cut off time and you took a long ass time to figure out your own system and now we can't board the plane!! She said there's no way to override this system. It was ridiculous. After that I never flew AA again.

yeah da, i got stuck in chicago when i was making a connecting flight to miami. a whole suitcase full of clothes and shoes for miami weather, and i spent the weekend in chicago (including 23 hours in o'hare international) where it was snowing. fortunately my sister in law lives there so we went out to drink and shop my sorrows away. the voicemail from james holden (thanks to my favorite ta's) was my highlight of the weekend.
