United Airlines is not our friend. In their defense, the staff are trying to help, but my goodness...
Sharon and the kids were delayed leaving Columbus...first the standard unexplained delay, then a flight attendant got locked in the bathroom. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
So, as it stands, they are on their way to D.C. toward a flight that has already left without them. They will leave on a later flight to Frankfurt and then on to Amsterdam (just an hour flight), 7 hours later than scheduled and 24 hours total of travel. The other option was to stay in D.C. and start again tomorrow, but my stalwart children said "onward!" I'm sad that I won't see them earlier, but happy that they are pressing on.

flying is not for the faint of heart these days... Locked in a bathroom???
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren are stalwart travelers, more power to them. Thanks, Sharon, for being such a wonderful mother. This should be a grand reunion. Mimi
