My United flight from Indy to Chicago was canceled due to tornado warnings, so I phoned Jenn, my manager, to get me a Hertz one-way and took off like a bat outta hell to try and still make the 6pm flight to London. I drove way too fast, dropped off the car, rode the shuttle, worked my way through the lines (I am forced to deal with paper tickets on this one, for some reason), work through security and watch the door closing in the distance as I race down a long corridor.
So I’m on the 9pm instead of the 6pm, but with a 4-and-a-half-hour layover planned for London, I still have 90 minutes to work with. Then the plane is pushed back an hour, but with the wind they’re still promising 60 minutes for my layover. We pull back as scheduled, an hour late, and then sit on the tarmac for a good 75, effectively killing my chances.
Nice flight over, though. I take an Ambien and get a decent bit of sleep.
