Fail, United Airlines, Fail

[hideincarnate]

SO I am STILL at Sea-Tac. My plane has been delayed for four hours now due to some mechanical problem they have to fix. They're still fixing it. The terminal is pretty fucking empty because all other flights have gone out

CALL MY MOM AND ASK HER WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO? BECAUSE THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. AND OF COURSE ALL THE SHIT I NEED LIKE PJS ARE IN MY CHECKED LUGGAGE. WHEREVER THEY ARE.

[windup_bird]

I'm calling her right now!

[hideincarnate]

OKAY. LET ME KNOW WHAT SHE SAYS. I'll also tell you what the airlines says/decides to do.

Leave your gate area and go elsewhere, there are other food options behind the gates! ^^;

Man, that sucks tho. If I had known you were still there before I left work for the day, I would have come back there to hang out with you and treat you to dinner or something. :/

[hideincarnate]

I so would do that, if they weren't like "we'll know anytime now!" So I've been staying put so I don't unintentionally miss my flight...if it's still on...

I'm sorry I didn't say anything! I didn't know if I would be and I didn't know if you could get back here, so I didn't even think about it. And I didn't want to subject you to like Burger King since I know you're trying to eat better. It just...didn't even cross my mind. I'm sorry! I would have liked being able to see you too...

[sjen]

Yeah, I have full access behind the gates. I woulda plopped back there, healthy eating be damned (it's a special occasion anyway!) Oh well. I wish you the best, I hope you're on your way soon. :/

[hideincarnate]

I will keep this in mind in the future! This is very useful knowledge! Again, I'm sorry I flubbed that opportunity up. I would have loved to have seen you. =(

....what new policy?! D:

I hope you get home safely ;____;

All airlines within the US charge for checked baggage. On all domestic flights. So if you travel from one point of the US to another - you gotta pay to check your bags. I think it counts for Canada too. But if you fly internationally, you can check 2 bags free of charge.

WELL IF THE PLANE EVER LEAVES

[shinimegami21]

UTTER BULLSHIT

does that include layovers from an int'l to the US to a connecting flight? :/

[hideincarnate]

I KNOW RIGHT?

Um, I don't think so. Like I just did, seriously last week, Japan->San Fran->Seattle. I checked my bags free of charge. But that's just two bags. After two bags, they will charge you on international flights.

[majesticjac]

I'm sad I didn't get to see you. =\ Do you know if anything will bring you back to Seattle anytime in the near/distant future?

[hideincarnate]

I really wish I had a working phone so I could have called you. =( Um, not in the near future. But I got plenty of friends out there that I will want to see, but it's a matter of having the money.
