And finally back home after being out in NYC for awhile. Public service announcement: you might think that you’re getting a deal with cheap airfare on America West, but you would be wrong because there’s a good chance that your flight will be cancelled due to mechanical problems. I was late able to catch a new connecting flight to SNA, but apparently I’m not the first one that’s had this happen. More America Worst West commentary and the obligatory sucks page.
To add insult to injury, the first gate I attempted to depart from at JFK was British Airways‘ old Concorde gate and lounge. Tremendously obvious thought of course but while standing around watching the dust gather in the lounge I can’t help but count up the number of steps backwards travel/culture/etc. is taking. Sure, I’m not in any situation where I can spring for supersonic travel, but goddamn I sure want the option to.
Additionally, someone at America West needs to get it through their thick head that if they’re going to serve the New York and Miami areas they need to offer some food that doesn’t have pork in it. Just saying…
