Okay, there are two stories in one here but I think you’ll appreciate them both….
So on the way home from Florida on Sunday we got to Orlando just to find out that the flight to Atlanta had been delayed. They said it had to do with air traffic control issues, so we should stay in the gate area because it could change at any time. The flight was suppose to depart at 6:30, but by the time we started boarding at 6:00 it was pushed back to 7:10. I hate sitting on the plane for hours but looking around at the other passengers and the massive amount of baggage they had, I decided it’s better to get on the plane and claim some luggage room while we could. I’m glad we did because we would have missed this whole comic show. A lady with 2 kids gets on the plane. There is some one seated in one of the seats she is assigned to so after a 5 minute conversation (blocking the aisle, of course) she finally just sits down where ever there are empty seats - which just happened to be the row right in front of us. Of course, since it was an overbooked flight there really weren’t any open seats and soon enough the rightful occupants of those seats show up dazed and confused. They did some swapping and every thing, but for some reason it still wasn’t worked out. I think it literally took 20 minutes and the involvement of 3 crew members to figure out that the one lady who was sitting in the spot for the woman with her 3 kids was actually looking at her boarding pass for the next flight. Finally they found seats for every one and people seemed to settle in.
So here’s the funny part - every one is settled now and we’re waiting for them to call on the standby passengers on the plane. The woman with the 2 kids looks over at the man across the aisle and says… “Are you guys flying to Atlanta?” Duh! The whole plane is going to Atlanta!
