Death at the Airport

tinamarie1974 thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Apr 26th 2019 at 12:01am ET

I have been stuck at the airport for hours, changing gates every so often. I think it is the airports way of amusing themselves…watching us run back and forth.

Anyone have ideas on how I can amuse myself in an airport with no open restaurants, bars, etc???

Use that time to prepare your material for when you are elected GoaT. It will be time well spent

edit: shit…you posted that you made it on a plane while I was typing! But you can still use your inflight time for your prep. Safe Travels!

I’m an avgeek, so I just find a place to watch the planes come and go while I wait. Your thread title made me think of something entirely different though, like what happened here a couple months back:

MCO is a fantastic airport though, always fun to visit!

- @PooltoyWolf OMG that is terrible! It was not nearly that bad but we dealt with delayed gates due to missing pilots and technical difficulty due to refueling. No idea what that even means, I think they made it up lol

- @tinamarie1974 There are innumerable things that can go wrong lol, in your case it could have been anything from a delayed fuel truck to not having the proper hose!

- @PooltoyWolf @tinamarie1974 Does the whole crew have to wear hose? Pilots too? Or just flight attendants?
