Grounded

Well, today I am reminded of how much I despise non-rev travel. I tried to make one last trip to NYC for dinner with a girlfriend and the flights were disgusting. The first flight of the morning cancelled leaving 150 people at the mercy of the standby list. I got up at 300AM to check myself in for my 7AM flight, but never went back to sleep. Made it to the airport about 6AM and hopped from terminal to terminal for about 4 hours. I fluctuated up and down the list and 4 flights later, I was still sitting in DFW. Bleh. And now, at 6:35PM, I am still sitting in Texas, not New York. So much for great flight benefits.
