Now what?
I ended up falling asleep around 2:00 am this morning and was awoken around 3:47 am to catch our 4:00 am cab pick-up. It was pretty painful but we made it to the airport by 4:20. We checked in at the kiosk to discover that our 6:00 am flight was delayed an hour. Already?! We were in doubt about making our connection so we called AA and they told us to go to the ticket counter to see if we could get rebooked on a different flight. Well, we had to leave the security gate and stand in line for an hour (missing all the 6 am flights) and the ticket guy said that we would have enough time to make the connection. It would be close but we’d have enough time. So, we stood in line for nothing, went through security once more, and boarded our 7:00 am plane. All was good again until the pilot announced that his co-pilot was running late and that he’d be arriving in 25 minutes. What?! All was lost by then and we were screwed. We sat on the tarmac for an additional hour and didn’t take off until 8:00 am. We just arrived in Dallas/Fort Worth at 1:00 CST and totally missed our 1:05 connection to Belize….the only flight to Belize for the day. Boo… American Airlines blows.
So, we’re going to figure out what’s next. Stay tuned!
