The flight from Salt Lake City to San Francisco was a fairly nice flight.
\nFor some lovely reason I was upgraded to first class. The flight left on
\ntime and arrived about ten minutes early. As usual, the airplane was quite
\nfull…. If Delta has to declare bankruptcy (which they’re threatening to
\ndo), it isn’t because of insufficient traffic.<\/p>\n
\nAfter arrival I went to the international terminal to check into my Virgin
\nAtlantic flight to London. The checkin was very slow and the woman at the
\ncounter was unhappy because my carryon weighed more than 13 pounds. She
\nwanted to have me check the bag, which wouldn’t work, either as there isn’t
\nroom in my computer bag to carry anything else. So I told here that the bag
\nhad to go with me since it had my nasal CPAP machine inside. Of course she
\ndidn’t know what that was, so she had me open the small suitcase to show
\nher. Then she decided it was a medical device (which it is) and that I was
\na risk to fly on the plane without competent medical people accompanying
\nme. I told her to go get her supervisor. A bunch of people then showed up.
\nThe guy in charge knew what the machine was and really chewed out the
\ncheckin counter girl for making such a fuss. I felt sorry for her! But it
\nstill wasn’t enough to snag a pass into the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class
\nLounge. So far my impressions of Virgin Atlantic aren’t very favorable.
\nWithout paying Upper Class fare (much like First Class on the other
\nairlines), there aren’t any amenities, even though I’m flying what they call
\n“premium economy”. I think that I’ll go back to normal Business Class on
\nDelta. It’s much more what I’m expecting.<\/p>\n
\nSome lady in a uniform has just moved everyone here at the gate to another
\npart of the waiting area and is roping off about half of the waiting area.
\nIt looks like they’re setting up to herd us like sheep. Ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
