sad but true......I booked on american ...even though I said I would never fly with them again...I went cheap to save about $200....the flight I enjoy (jet blue / flew it last month $238 perfect early both ways ....when I picked my dates that jet blue flight was about $470 ...I found a american flight out of orlando for $250 ....waited a day and it went to $320 and bought it....Now comes the part that SUCKS ....I for some unknown reason I scheduled myself to close on Sunday night (yesterday) after driving a cook and a dishwasher home I got home to pack, stop at walmart for some presents for the N*no's and N*na's ....next thing I know its 3am ...I get out of the house by 3:15 its about 2 hour ride maybe less at that time of the night.

I am in the orlando area around 5:30 and I make a wrong turn for the remote parking....starting to get worried that I am in the jackpot for a screw job....park at priceless and its like they are giving away pu*sy...place is packed ...takes me until about 610 to get inside the american airlines area.

Once I get in a do a self check in and it shoots out " you are late go see a ticket person..wtf ...there is about 200 people in the place and if I dare try to cut someone in line ..I need a gun...anyway I get to the ticket agent and he is already a prick before I say one word....he says I missed it by (1) min. this dude is a dick .....I tell him all the flights he can get me on ....since I look at them a few times a week....he puts me on the 6pm flight getting in to san josearound 10 ....and charges me $150 ...I blow up....I called the 800 number and what a great way of handling problems ...they tell you to go to their web site and send it to them ....damm it I hate this airlines....

Sorry to go on and on about this ...but what else do I have to do ...its 1:30 and I still have 4 hours to kill....can someone post some photos

Hey ChiliMike,

Hope you made it safely to SJO without any further complications. Put those Tica's names in the memory bank. Let me know of any good performers so I can give them a whirl.

Sorry to hear about the AA jerks. But I don't blame you for trying them out to save $200. I'd do the same.

PM with me the gift ideas. Curious what gifts might be of interest to the ladies.

DAM! im leaving like 5 hours early! IM NOT MISSING MY FLIGHT, ill hang on the dam wing if i have too!!!

Attaboy Dogi - the chicas are waiting!!!!

To update this trip...the flight from orlando to miami was 35 mins late ....I get into miami and they tell me I got to run to the next gate (maybe a mile away)I tell the agent ...what about my bag, if I am running to catch the flight how will my bag get on the flight...she says don't worry ....I look out that window until we pull away and never see anyone come near our plane.

I get into san jose and stand like a fool waiting for the bag I will know will never come, then I get to stand in line for 1 hour to let them know my bag is in miami....if you read any of my lasts posts you will see where I started this day at 3am ....no sleep and every leg of this trip has been a problem. I get to the sportmens around 1120 no bag no clean clothes ...nothing first day of the trip is gone....if this was my first trip it would be my last ...still no word on my bag...american airlines ..sucks

DAM that SUCKS! doesnt Jet Blue fly direct from Orlando?

Note to self for this Saturday: Take carry-on bag only, and do on-line check-in. On arrival, locate Chilimike and buy the poor bastard a beer.

PS 10/24 and 10/25 staying at the Dunn Inn; then going "normal" for Monday night.

Chiimike...why didn't you get an AA or Spirit flight out of TIA? All the airlines I've flown lately SUCK...AA, Spirit and Jet Blue. Jet Blue canceled my flights without even informing me, Spirit charges ridiculous add-ons (seat assignments, carry-on bags, etc.), and AA has been really expensive and fly thru Miami, which sucks. It's ridiculous.
Anyway, I hope you have better luck on your return flights.
