Er. I was running late for plane and they said: no, you cannot have checked luggage, it is too late, you have to take it as carry-on. And I said: um. And they said: do you have anything sharp? To which I replied: does a pocket knife count?
They looked at the pocket knife and shrugged and let me take it on the plane anyway because we were all running late.
......I could totally have hijacked it.
Also: the pilot said, blah blah, to the left, Southern Alps, blah blah, features, things to look at, blah...and if you look out the right hand side, you can see a dolphin.....haha, made you look!
......I really, really approve of that airline. SO MUCH.
You need to turn your cellphones off for the flight, yes? And, "If you're not sure how to turn your cellphone off, we ask you to please pass it to the nearest child."
YES.
And then at the other end of the plane, there were no more buses into town. The last bus left the airport at 8:20 and I got in at 8:30. *beats head against wall* So I went to get some cash out of the ATM for a taxi-like thing. And the ATM was out of money. So I was running around trying to find another ATM, and trying not to spaz out completely, because: wow. I basically failed at air travel today.
More coherent news later, when I'm done berating myself for being the worst airline passenger ever. (Srs; when I got on the plane, it was seven minutes prior to scheduled departure. As opposed to, you know, thirty or forty or sixty. *cringe*)
