Well, from your next post after this one, it sounds like you had a much harsher “inner wolf” realization than I imagined with my cute little response. Seriously, all I was picturing was your HF(Heavenly Father) sending you to give a talk on patience at the church all these AA devil people attend. Ignore all us harsh, goofball wannabes. Your HF loves you bunches.
I hope you are feeling better. And remember, read what I mean, not what I say! (grin)

I was on my way back home. In Dallas on a flight that was supposed to leave at 7pm. It left at 2:30 am. Problems like this happened twice in DFW. I had to work the next day at 8 am. I got home at 3:30 and my folks were picking me up.

I hate DFW.

Wow, so sorry to hear about your unpleasant American Airlines experiences. I had a similiar situation with Delta Airlines; however, all seem to have flown this year is. . .you guessed it. . .Delta Airlines.

I love flying American, and I wished I could have flown American instead of Delta, but the company was footen the bill and that was the best rate.

The last time I flew American, I had missed a connecting flight and the group in front of me was yelling at the ticket agents and I just told the lady that I can fly whenever and lo and behold she put me on standby for the next flight and the only seat left was first class. That was at the tail end of so many cancelled and re-routed flights, so I feel your pain there.

Hopefully next time will be better.

I don’t travel enough to have a bad story, but my husband does. While I can’t relay his story with as much gusto as he can, I will share that he always writes a letter of complaint and always gets mileage as an apology. AA gave him 4000 bonus miles because they delayeed his flight due to a non-functional toilet paper holder. They gave him 15000 miles for a flight cancellation. I know you’d prefer to not fly AA, but if their screw ups send you to Hawaii for free, a little trouble may be worth it. :)

Wow, bummer!!! I actually just had a bad flight experience a few weeks ago when I was returning home to Paris after a trip to the States. My AA flight from St. Louis to Chicago was over 2 hours late, causing me to miss my connecting flight. I’ll spare you the details, but I have to say that AA actually was really helpful and re-routed me so I didn’t have to spend an extra day in Chicago…this allowed me to arrive only 5 hours behind schedule instead of 24. It was a rough trip from start to finish, but I made it and I was thankful for the helpful people at AA who re-routed me through their airlines (with a stop in London) when I was supposed to be on Air France to Paris and they couldn’t do anything for me. It could have been worse, like your situation!
