Oh lord please help me


Well today didn't go as planned, we got up at 3:45am, got to Columbus airport on time our little RJ (regional jet)left as planned bound for Dulles Int'l airport, we arrived on time and all HELL broke loose. First of all we got to the departures board and saw that it our flight was delayed almost 4 1/2 hours, we were supposed to leave at 12:22 pm and now it was schuduled for a 4:45 pm departure, well Faye and I made the best of it and went to the Smithsonian aircraft and space museum. We were both got tired after walking around in there for a couple of hours so we decided to come back to Dulles and lounge around. Needless to say we got back and hung out until 4:45pm and there was no plane in the gate, they kept moving the time back, I believe we finally boarded at about 6 pm. Well now who knew that we would sit there for a couple of hours and then get thrown off the plane with 200 angry chinese people who couldn't speak much english, and then there was Faye who was speaking for all 300 passengers on the flight. Here to make a long story short we are still in Virginia and our flight is now schduled to depart at 0730 on the 9th. We are in a hotel room paid for by UNITED AIRLINES (SUCKS). Our flight last time left at least 3 hours late maybe later. This is Faye and I 3rd flight on United Airlines and not a one has went down without an issue. Needless to say this will probably be our last. We have already received $250 vouchers on future flight for the both of us. Hopefully we will make it to Beijing tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. >>>>>Todd

Oh, Todd and Faye, this is so not how you wanted your trip to start. I am so sorry for all of your travel troubles. Sometimes flying can be the biggest pain. I got your text, but didn't realize it was delayed even more!! I am saying a prayer for you right now - that you are on your way to Beijing and that you arrive safely!

So sorry you've had troubles already! I am hoping you are in the air this morning and everything else on the trip runs smoothly!
