No Hubby for Thanksgiving (long)

Dan was supposed to take the red eye out last night and missed his flight.  He was flying Spirit which only has one gate at LAX.  He went to the gate and it said Detroit and Ft. Lauderdale.  His flight was delayed an hour which meant it was leaving at the same time as the Ft. Lauderdale flight, so they moved the gate for the Detroit flight.  He didn't realize that, boarded the plane and found out he was on the wrong plane.  By that time it was too late to get to the right gate.  It happened to six other people as well.

Spirit only leaves once a day, so he can't get out until tonight's red eye.  I feel horrible that he has to spend Thanksgiving alone and I'm going to miss him being here.  I'm very bummed and he is as well.

I managed to miss my flight yesterday as well.  I had a 3 hour layover in Denver and then my flight got delayed another hour.  At some point they switched my gate, which I didn't realize.  The flight had been rescheduled for 6:30 and when I still hadn't heard anything about boarding at that time I went to look at the departure board and it said the flight was closed.  I was in tears by the time I got to customer service and luckily there was a flight to Detroit (I was supposed to fly to Cleveland) leaving in 10 minutes.  I was supposed to be on the standby list, but the lady was really nice and gave me a seat.

It was not a good day for flying and apparently the next time we fly we both need to be designated as unaccompanied minors.

Re: No Hubby for Thanksgiving (long)

  • Sorry! Do you have anyone else you can spend Thanksgiving with? We flew Spirit yesterday out of Chicago and I will never fly with them again. The flight was delayed over an hour (arriving), then someone's tray table was broken and it took about 40 min to get someone to fix it/to do the paperwork and all they did was duct tape it!! $3 for water? Having to pay to use the overhead bin? The gate at the airport was also super ghetto. It was cold, and they didn't even have a screen with the flight info.
  • I'm so sorry! I hope you get to see him tonight.

  • Oh honey, I'm so sorry you two won't get to be together for Thanksgiving.  I just said to my mom this morning that I am so glad that all of these years, our families have lived close enough to drive and I've never had to fly at the holidays. I don't envy anyone who has to do it and your story (for both of your flights) is exactly why. I really hope things go better tonight for HH. Try to enjoy the day with your family. He'll be there soon.
  • So sorry! Flying is so incredibly stressful. :(

  • Yeah, I hope he's managed to get there for at least part of things! Hugs!
  • He got in this morning.  We have a wedding tomorrow (he's best man), so luckily he was able to make it in time for all of the wedding stuff.
