This morning, as I was showering in preparation for my flight back to Lexington, I was all, "I haven't blogged during this entire trip. Maybe I should do a live-blog of my travel day from Sacramento. That would be fun."
And then when I got out of the shower, I was met with several emails from Delta and Travelocity informing me that my flight had been delayed multiple times, with the last delay causing me to miss my connection in Minneapolis, thereby forcing me to be rebooked on a new flight leaving in 12 hours and arriving in Lexington tomorrow.
And then, as per the email from Travelocity's instructions, I called them to confirm my new itinerary, and I got to spend the next ten minutes explaining to the customer service agent on the line that my original flight was delayed and I got rebooked while she was all, "I show you have two flights today from Sacramento to Lexington. Can you confirm you have two flights today from Sacramento to Lexington?" Then I was all, "No. The first flight has been delayed. It's going to make me miss my connection, so they've booked me on a different flight." And she kept being like, "No. Your flight to Minneapolis arrives at 6pm and your next departure leaves at 7:30pm so you will not miss your connection." And I repeated, "No. There's a delay on that flight. I have gotten multiple notifications from Delta that that flight is delayed. I'm going to miss my connection. So they've booked me on a new flight, which is the second one you see there." And she'd insist, "No. I do not see a delay to Minneapolis. You will not miss your connection. Can you confirm that you have two flights today from Sacramento to Lexington?" And then I would turn into the Hulk and smash through walls with my green veiny muscly arms while screaming through my iPhone speaker.
Anyway, after putting me on hold for another ten minutes while she spoke to somebody at Delta, the Travelocity agent finally was like, "Ok. I can confirm that your original flight has been delayed and that your new itinerary departs Sacramento at 10:55 tonight." And I was like, "NO DUH, LADY."
But really, I know there are far worse things in this world than being rebooked on a later flight, but what else is this blog for than bitching about relatively inconsequential and mildly annoying inconveniences?
Also, I am hoping to get a free travel voucher out of this.
