A Continental nightmare

2008-06-13 03:35:05 by HASH0x8c0ef34 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...luggage. Combined with the ban on liquids that makes it hard to carry on anything, you are forced to pay up. This is on top of the already jacked up prices and fuel surcharges they are already charging. They also charge if you want to fly stand by now, extra for exit seats, aisles, etc, etc. It is not one airline worse than another, they are...

...luggage because I am Platinum Medallion on Delta. As he was doing that, I said to myself that is a kiss of death if I ever saw one. I got to Atlanta to find out my connection was an hour late anyway and everything was fine, if you don't count landing in San Fran at 1am pacific time (4am east coast time) to late.
