Trouble in the Air

I think that I might start doing this regularly...  Talking about the good and bad of airlines and the troubles that I encounter (almost) everytime that I fly. 

My flight was scheduled to leave at 3:30.  I made it to the airport on time, got stopped by security (not because I had Scentsy stuff in my bag but because of my Nook), and made it to the gate with time to spare.  They announced that it was a full flight and asked if anyone would like to check their bags, free of charge to their destination.  I took them up on that offer and started to RELAX.  I had checked the weather in Nashville and figured that I would have a great flight.  WRONG!  My connecting flight was in Denver and they were having some Weird Storm.  They boarded us on the flight on time and then made us WAIT.... I fell asleep and woke up and realized that we had not moved.  I was worried that I would miss my flight.  We finally left at 5 and I made it to my connecting flight without any worries.  The only downside was that I was supposed to have an 1 1/2 hour delay meaning that I could grab some dinner.  That did not happen and I was SO SO Hungry on my flight into Nashville.  I flew on Frontier this trip and I was impressed.  The plane had TVs in every headrest where you could swipe a card and either watch movies or 24 channels of TV.  Because the first flight delay was so long they let us watch TV for free... I got caught up on Law and Order: SVU.  The plane was new and they served warm chocolate chip cookies at the end of every flight... They really know how to make me smile. 
When I landed in Nashville, I was told to pick up my luggage at carousel 6... which did not exist because of renovations.  They had everyone wandering around wondering where to pick up their luggage.  KMM was glad to see me and quickly took me to get something to eat.

On my returning flight, I tried to check in online.  That didn't work and had to arrive at the airport early.  They told me that my flight to Denver was delayed because of WEATHER and my flight would be leaving an hour late.  I started to get worried that I wouldn't make my connecting flight and then I thought (God has this.. no need to worry).  I literally got off the plane and quickly walked 3 lanes over to catch my flight home.  They were calling all seats, all rows when I walked up. 

More on Nashville on Tuesday.  Enjoy your 3 day weekend.  Happy Memorial Day.
