The long way home


First thing about this trip is going to be a list of complaints about AA.

1. International flights out of Trinidad leads to really long fucking lines. Some AA asshole tells us that it doesn't matter what line we get in. good thing because we are in the semi-shorter business class line. 40 minutes later some bitch says that is ONLY for first class. so i get in the regular line and mom stays in the first class line. And it turns out it didn't matter. but the thought of waiting in that other line almost had me crying. IT WAS SOOOO LONG.

2. Mechcanical problems with the plane in Miami(twice) led to a 4 hour delay for us in Trinidad(so after all that line shit we still had to wait FOREVER)

3. Because of that we miss the last flight of the day out of Miami

4. Get hotel vouchers, but don't get to the hotel til 2:30AM

5. Have to get up at 5:45AM for our flight to Dallas and then Dulles

6. We get to Dallas and then taxi for like 20 mins. giving us only 10 minutes to get to the other side of the airport to catch the next flight, this involves catching a shuttle and running up escalators.

7. WE RUN UP TO THE GATE AND THE AA LADY TELLS US TO WAIT A MINUTE WHILE SHE MAKES A PHONE CALL. SHE THEN TELLS US WE NEED TO BE ON TIME because they close the door 5 mins before departure EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW WE WERE ON A CONNECTING FLIGHT THAT JUST LANDED. RUDE NASTY BITCH.

8. So then we have to wait 2 extra hours to wait for the next flight.

9. So a day later we come home.

i will write about more pleasant things later promise.
also, i googled "American Airlines sucks" and thats what i found
