One thing I didn't forget this morning was finding my flight itinerary so that I could send it to kcprogrammer. He had kindly volunteered to take his girlfriend to the airport for her flight on Wednesday morning. Except when I looked to check the exact time, this is what I saw: 7:05PM. Shite.
kcprogrammer even had to read it a second time before he notice the error. Now what?
My choices:
- Fly out at 7:05pm and miss out on a reception where I'd meet the other scholarship winners, the organizations board members and staff, and conference speakers. There was even a chance that I could go to the national board meeting and talk about my chapter's blog. And I was going to try to fit in a wee bit of sightseeing.
- Pay $151 to change my flight to 7:40am. Um, no.
- Fly standby and risk the boredom of a day spent at KCI and the chance that my butt could still be on that 7pm flight.
- Call three hours in advance of the flight I want to get advance standby. Confirmation price: $25. First flight out (and probably the most likely to have open seats): 6:20am. Three hour call ahead time: 3:20am. Ugh.
So, I'm feeling understandably brilliant this morning.

3:20 AM is not as early as you might think...I had to wake up about then to catch a flight to Chicago once... It seemed a lot less early than 5:00AM EST hung over to catch a flight home from Detroit:)
It looks like the last one is your best choice.
Can you get a new one-way ticket to Chicago for less than $151? Sometimes they have last minute deals through American for $79-99 if you like that option any better.
I'm just jealous everyone is going to Chicago. I want to go!--AT
oh dear... that sounds like something from a bad dream. That sucks! I really hope you get it straightened out without too much hassel. And I hope you have a great trip!
