Even when a flight isn’t delayed and everything goes perfectly, I guarantee you’ll still end up waiting somewhere along the trip, which will suck and probably be completely unnecessary.
Case in point, I caught a 6:40am flight this morning coming back to NYC and things were great until we landed. Then we sat on the tarmac for 15 mins for no reason. Then we taxied to the gate and sat there for another 15 waiting for the baggage people to remove the non-checked bags, which I had to wait for even though I didn’t check anything at all. At least the bus trip into the city was without problem.
I just seem to think that airports today are giant clusterfucks of incompetence and long lines. Airlines try to put on a mask of friendliness, causing the traveler to ignore the rules of the polite and tolerant stewardess because heaven forbid that the traveler should be forced to accommodate everyone else and turn off their cellphone for 2 hours. Flying should be a privilege, not a right that many seem to abuse. No wonder why airlines barely make any profit as it is.
To further complicate things, I’m currently on the train to NJ, heading to Point Pleasant to get my car, so I can return to the city tonight and move out of my apartment tomorrow. So fun.
