…Let me pick out your airline ticket!
Husband flew to Minnesota today, and I drove him to the airport this morning before I left on my 2 hour drive to BCS. Normally I leave Austin at 6am, and the ticket that I picked out for him departs at 5:45am. “Perfect”, I thought – I could drop him off and then head on out, and the ticket was relatively cheap. First, me thinking we could pull this off was a mistake. Second, me thinking he only needed to be there a half hour early was a mistake. You’d think I’ve never flown before – I don’t know what I was thinking. We pulled up to the airport with about 25 minutes to spare before his flight was scheduled to depart. Unbeknownst to us, the airline he was flying has a rule that says they won’t let you in if you arrive with less than a half hour before take off. So, he missed his flight. FAIL. Luckily he was able to fly standby on another flight, but this involved about a 7-8 hour layover in Houston. We’re both tired from waking up at 4:30am, and he’s finally on a plane to MSP after a 4 hour travel day turned into a 13 hour travel day. What a crappy day.
