Wait-listed

This is my first trip out to Tara in a long time. I’m excited, nervous, scared, and a whole range of other emotions.

With the fuel crisis, there aren’t as many flights out to Manchester. And they are all really expensive. Now, if I could afford it, it wouldn’t be an issue. But because I fly stand by, the chances of me getting on one of these few and severely overbooked flights drops to below zero.

I have already been shifted once. Flight to DC overbooked by two. This one that I’m now waiting for, well… According to the online records, it’s overbooked by 12. So I don’t think so.

I’ve already pricelined my hotel and car. So that is money I won’t be getting back.

If I don’t get out this morning and get to new Hampshire by 7:00 I lose my car. If I don’t get out of Seattle by 2:00 then my trip is cancelled.

This blows. This flight is overbooked by at least one. They just started asking for seat sacrifices.

I don’t think I’m going to make it.
