August takes me to LA, NY, Houston, Napa, Washington, DC, and Boston. 🗺️

Wednesday night, on the way back from NY 🍎, we were late leaving (left at 9:00 PM) because of connecting passengers whose planes were not on time. 🛫

(This is de rigueur these days and more about that later.)

I am glad to accommodate them because I would appreciate the airlines holding a flight for me just once in my life. 🙏

We landed in Norfolk around 10:00 PM and we stopped short of the gate. 🛬

The pilot came over the PA and said, “well folks, there’s only one crew here tonight and they are helping a plane depart, so we will be stopped here about 10 minutes so they will help us after.” 🛄 So, 10 minutes passes.

Captain: “Hi, folks, it’s the captain. They’re still loading bags on the departing plane so it’ll be another 15 minutes or so. So sorry for the delay and I’ll be back to you.” 👨‍✈️

20 minutes later, “It’s you captain. They’ve stopped taking my calls.” ☎️

The plane erupted in laughter. 🤣

If you are traveling these days, bring extra patience and a nimble attitude. 🏃 Every one of my flights in the past week or so has had a problem. ✈️

May you have safe travels 🧳 without incident!
