Fly the un-United skys. How one flight can be so wron
i had read about United Airlines attempts to balance their books. Charges for extra bags etc, But my recent trip to Buenas Aires organized by Princess Cruises, took the cake.
Arrival at Seattle terminal was the start. Aware of Unites antipathy to extra bags we carried only two. One was over weight by 4 lbs. So the uncarrying attendent said to take it out. What a gong show. However $50 later we were checked in. The flight to DUlles to make our connection was delayed, reducing the time between flights to 40 minutes. By the time we walked off the plane in Dulles, we had 25 minutes. Now the fun began. We made the connection and discoveredI was n row 17 and Amanda was in 23. So much for booking really early. Then it tirned out my seat mate was separated from her partner as were mnay other couples. So we took matters inb out own hands and played musical chairs (sin musica) and got everyone with their partner.
All in all not so friendly skies and definitely not United.
