Our flight out was supposed to be first from Seattle to Las Vegas and then onto Boston on a RedEye. I’d thought the Vegas layover was 2 hrs. In fact it was one hour.

The Vegas flight is delayed. Therefore… we’ve been magickally transported to a direct flight on Alaska.

Sounds great, huh?

Not so much. Now we’re in the airport for another 3 hrs. (Fortunately, i have Board Room membership.. So at least the drinks and wifi will be free.)

But the real pain is getting seating at the last moment. There are 3 of us flying not counting the baby. We had seats together on USAir. Now… Now we are 3 rows apart each for 5 hours.

Hopefully the gate person will be able to assist us.

Not pleased.
