As per last entry, my day began with promise. Unpacked,
re-packed, slept, all transport connections to airport made, got my boarding
pass at the machine, time for an ice coffee to prop me up and over jet lag, got
to the gate at 8:00 am for the 8:30 flight, the attendant scanned the boarding
pass and…
BEEP!
“Hmm." Took a look at the ticket and said, “This flight is for
8:30 PM."
My response?
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In a 3-year old whiny voice. Did I really make such a stupid
mistake? But before I hit the ground with pounding fists in a public tantrum,
she calmly said, “Talk to that person over there.”
I walked ten feet over and this attendant said, “Give me your
credit card and for $25 I’ll put you on this flight.”
Did I hear that right? Could it really be so simple? Yes, it
could.
And…
She let me cut back into line (“Really?”) and…
I got a better seat in the front of the plane. Well, not
business class, but first row window.
Occasionally, good –hearted people do simple things to make
others happy. The world is a good place today.
