I actually arrived on-time with all of my luggage today from the COs conference in DC. Delta did come through. I did have some trouble sleeping last night so I finally got up and went to see if the taxi was waiting. There actually was a taxi so he took me to the airport where I had to wait for everything to open. I was second in line for the self-check-in kiosk, got to the TSA checkpoint and had to wait for them to open. Then I ended up being third in line for the medallion level queue.
It couldn’t get any better than this, I thought. Then it occurred to me to look at boarding pass again. Seat 2A. I was automatically upgraded to First Class. Admittedly it was too early in the morning for a beer, and I was not in the mood for a Bloody Mary, so I settled for a cup of coffee and the extra seat room. I pulled out the Bose QS3s, plugged in my 80 Gb video iPod, and pulled out a magazine. I actually enjoyed a flight for a change. I made the connection in Atlanta, ASA actually took off on schedule without a “maintenance” delay (will miracles never cease!?) and I got home in time to meet the fam for lunch at Mi Hacienda, our favorite Mexican restaurant and standard Sunday lunch eating place.
