Southwest Airlines is the SHIZZLE
And yes I really just did say shizzle.
(Jubilee take note).
Okay, I'm still in St. Louis, I was supposed to fly back to Texas tonight. (ACtually, was supposed to land in 20 minutes at 10:05 in Houston). Mom and Jimmy (her common law hubby or whatever. I really don't know what to call him) are both sick so neither could pick me up from the airport... so there were really two choices... take a cab home, or take a flight home tomorrow. For obvious reasons , considering I had to be up at 6 in the morning had I been there to catch my bus to school, (call a ride), I really wanted to fly back tomorrow...
However, the difference to change flights was too much so I begrudgingly threw everything in my suitcase and packed everything up in backpack, $8 Hard Rock bag, and suitcase, and drove to the airport with my sister and her new bf. (He's old but really cool... I like him even if he is 52..yikes)
anyway, get to the airport way early, check in suitcase, go through security. (Personally, I prefer flying out of Lambert to Hobby... Lambert East Terminal which is entirely southwest, is small, and just seems less crazy.). I' mflying out of the same gate I fleew out of six weeks ago, E-14, settle into a chair plug in my laptop and play SIMS for an hour.
The plane pulls up to the gate, I pack up my stuff, and stand by the window... I still had a bit to go before I boarded, and over the speaker they announced that they were overbooked and would anyone that could give up their seat on the plane in exchange for a hotel room, flight tomorrow, dinner, and a SWA Voucher.
It took me all of five seconds to make up my mind.
They put me up in the AIRPORT HILTON.
the HILTON!
Got meal from chili's.
Flight tomorrow at 12:45, not at some ungodly hour and I can actually get a good night's rest.
and a $322 voucher to use in the next year.
My roundtrip ticket cost a little over $200.
Yeah I'm really looking forward to sleeping in that bed.
