Christmas Eve Travel II: Not In the Zone
Gosh US Airways sucks. Not that there aren't other sucky air carriers but wow, US Airways manages to be so bad in so many new, exciting ways.
Take for instance:
At our gate in Newark, they said they were gonna board us quickly using the numbered "Zone" system (because "Boading rows 18-24" is apparently beyond the capacity of today's average air traveler). And they even called for Zone 1 only, but all zones immediately queued up. Why? Because the gate next to ours loudly announced "boarding all rows", and people got confused.
Did the gate attendants turn away the non-Zone-1-ers? Did they quickly repeat the call for only Zone 1? Or did they just shrug their shoulders and let passengers board willy-nilly? What do *you* think?
Comparatively, the 45 minutes of my life that I lost because one of the flight attendants didn't show, that was nothing.
O' US Airways, thy name is sucky!
