Sitting & waiting in the middle of massive & ambush weather delay at Seatac airport in the middle of hottest red-eye flights time was too much of fun ๐ 1 hour of surprising thunderstorm kindly brought 4 hours of delay with terminal/flight change on the start of trip to east coast.
The last of the last update/warning on delays provided to all “turning to Zombies” passengers at 2AM was “some drinks/water and food might not be available at flight”- This made me thought it is much better than loose door or so on this Alaska 737 flight ๐
Actually, the only thing missing in plane turned out to be ice used serving drinks ๐
Today (7/20) at Seatac; super busy – unlucky travelers who just happen to book United, Delta, American and other LCCs are impacted the most and waiting for ridiculous long waiting line for rebooking their flights. (Plus they are killing all airline’s ground staffs)
This is just ridiculous – Watching this just boiled my blood whether Crowdstrike knows anything about deployment and claim they are cybersecurity experts?
Now having a highschooler who learns various things means we have to send him to other states for multiple week long summer camp – Now I look back and even smile on the old days I was complaining to have “expensive” local summer camp when these kids were in elementary or so…
This year for my #2, it is 4 weeks in Midwest (and he needs to go to LA after this ๐ ) so I had to resume the duty of transporting the kid to out of town ๐ and due to conflicting schedule we decided to fly out to St. Louis on Friday afternoon.
Rather than getting ripped off at airport with hyper inflation impacted foods, we also tested Alaska’s in-flight meal (as this one is long haul – they graciously “sell” the meal with pre-order only:) ) which were Penang curry and Korean beef burger ๐
