Location: Dorval Airport
Time: 6:50 AM
Aircraft departure: 8:50AM
All times are in EST, less than twelve Air Canada employees were harmed.
We get there, me, Sinistral, Faetan and Darksand, line is…daunting to say the least but we start, it moves fairly well since there’s three people running the check-in counter or whatever it’s called, no prob right? Two employees leave, there’s about 200 people waiting to be checked in, we’re in the line to enter the line. Things did not bode well, but not only for Fae who had a plane to catch, but also for the personnel that Sinistral nearly mutilated to get an answer. In the end she got thru though, and we yelled very angrily out of the terminal, and I got about 2 hours of sleep so I’m gonna go catch up.
So…yeah, back from vacation or whatever. Not exactly a super duper happy go lucky camper so if anyone wants to suffer, just mess with my nerves a little and I’ll be glad to oblige.
Actually there must have been closer to 500 people in that line.
Here’s a little diagram to give you an idea, each * if about 5 feet. and the X is the location of the only clerk going bagage check in.
Sin nearly mutilated airline personnel? I wish I had him around the last time I flew out of Raleigh - I could have used him to knock some sense into a somewhat surly ticket person. Yes, I could have done it myself, but I was sort of in a hurry.
What you described sounds a lot like some of my more recent airport experiences.
Well. I see Sin’s still alive. Is he over at your place now, Zero, or staying at Roots’?
Anyway, 6:50 am sucks. o_o Sin’s flight left at 9:15pm… which was a time I could handle. I would’ve been (more) upset if I had to get up that early ^^;;
Can I use a terrible ‘End of Line’ Tron pun somewhere in this thread?
And yes, lines suck. BA seems to be acting as one for a change and just not bothering to be workable. Airports are why so many English people stay at home and go camping…
That remindes me of a Dilbert…but since I don’t have a scanner, a script will have to suffice.
Panel 1
Title: Dogbert’s Airline Service
Dogbert: through an intercom We regret to inform you that all flights will be delayed infinitaly. Panel 2
Intercom: Therefore, you are required to form a primitive society and live in the airport terminal forever. Panel 3
Dogbert: through an intercom The good news is that you get six “Dogbert miles” that can be used on the 35th of each month!
That isn’t a perfect transcript of the strip, but you get the idea.
Sounds like Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport on a holiday…
Damn that sounds annoying. Personally I hate wating around, and that is when I’m not in a rush, so it must have been dreadful for you lot!
Welcome back, guys. Glad you survived it.
