Wheee. So I'm back in the states, but in Buffalo watching it snow hard. :p
At least I should be able to head out this afternoon. Continental kind of wins the award for jerking people around at Newark yesterday.
Their Process(TM):
1: Blah blah, thank you for flying, get off my plane bitch.
2: Go through customs
3: Get your baggage
4: Take IT through another customs line
5: Recheck your baggage for your connector at another point
6: Go back through security
7: Come to the departures screens to find the flight you were supposed to be on, cancelled.
8: Get told "No standbys, 6AM."
7: Get your 6AM flight cancelled, 9PM flight cancelled, Noon flight cancelled
8: Get told "Well, we should have enough standby room at 5PM..."
(This is where you think they might be cancelling because they don't have
full planes for Buffalo)
9: Get ON to the 5PM flight thankfully on standby, (At 6PM)
10: Arrive in Buffalo and be too pissed off/tired to drive another 3 hours back to Clarion
(That last bit is all me, not Continental) :)
11: Wake up to a foot of blowing snow and more coming down!
Well, as I said, hopefully I can get out around noon today. The trip to Scotland was good, though I am REALLY looking forward to getting home at this point! I want my own bed!
