Starting off on the right foot

This weekend was fun and I made it back safe and sound.

Now that that is out of the way I would figure I'd tell you a little about last week etc before I jump ahead this past weekend. So...

The fun started as soon as I got to the airport in San Jose, CA to fly down here. Here is short recap:

So I walked in and didn't see Frontier. "Why not?" you ask. Because there is only one counter shoved up against the wall and they do 3 flights out of San Jose a day. No worries, it's not a main destination for them. Then the guys says do you have a returning flight? Yes, I answer. I am flying back on U.S. Airways. He says great do you have a print out. No, I answer. I was told all of the requirement are done electronically. He said, I need to see a print out or I can't let you get on the plane to Denver. Just go down to the U.S. airways counter and have them print something out for you. Doesn't sound too bad.

So, I walk right up to the U.S. Airways guy and tell him what is going on. He say's Ok, do you have a confirmation number. I said no. Do you have a credit card? No, It just got canceled today because of fraud. Do you know the number? No. Ok, what is your name. Robert Fox I tell him. Okay, let me look. ... Sorry we don't have you in our system. WHAT??!!! All I see is your flight in May from Austin. ... I have never been to Austin in my life. Maybe try Rob Fox. ... still nothing. Few minutes pass with him and now another agent trying to find me. Still the guy has a brilliant idea, Do you have your computer with you he asks? YES, yes I do! So I pull up my email and give him my confirmation. Two seconds later I have my printout in hand walking back to the counter tucked against the wall known as Frontier.

All I can think is WOW, this trip is off to a great start! 4 months here we come!

  1. be prepared for a cavity search on your return to the US. once you are in the system as an odd case all kind of fun things can happen.
