No more Delta
I figured I would try and save some money for my company and opted for a cheap ticket to Columbus using Delta. Here was the chain of events resulting from today's travels:
- 5:30 am- woke up at and rushed to get ready
- 6:30 am -get to airport and check in. Find out flight is delayed and most likely will miss connection
- 9:30 am- finally up in air
- 10:55 am- get to Cincinnati and rush to try and catch connecting flight at 11:00 am
- 10:56 am- greeted by airport employee, welcoming me to Kentucky
- 10:56 am - "WHAT?? I'M IN KENTUCKY? I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IN OHIO!!"
- 10:57 am- learn that airport is joint between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Am in right place
- 11:03 am- miss connection flight
- 11:03-12:00pm - shop
- 12:00 pm- realize I'm in the wrong terminal for my next connection
- 12:15 pm- eat (People in Kentucky think they make good smoked meat. But nothing beats Montreal)
- 1:20 pm- try to board plane, and end of with 3 boarding passes. Manage to find seat
- 2:08 pm- Finally land in Columbus
- 2:15 pm- Wait for luggage
- 2: 30 pm- continue to wait for luggage
- 2:45 pm- find out that they've lost my luggage
So more than 7 hours later I finally made it to Columbus. Good thing is that my bag arrived late tonight. Yay!!
Lessons Learned:
1) no more connecting flights
2) will never fly with Delta again
3) will never eat smoked meat in Kentucky

This sounds like the craziness i dealt with when i flew into Milan Italy. My lessons learned:
1) never let someone who will sleep through the entire flight take the aisle seat
2) never fly Alitalia again
3) Italians may be known for their good pasta but trust me DONT eat the pasta

When I've flown business, my bosses have always said to fly direct... this way, connecting flights cn't be missed among other things.

My worst experience flying was to Ireland from Toronto. I was quite nervous (ok, not-so-quietly freaking out) and the older gentleman beside me tried to relax me by telling me about Ireland. However, he must have cut himself while shaving that day because he started to bleed on his cheek, which didn't really help!
