Yay, stuck at PHX overnight..

[Kadarin]

So our plane "showed a logic fault in one of the onboard flight computers" and could not be fixed in time to fly out tonight. Thus, I'm booked on the 7am flight out to San Jose. In addition, there are no hotel rooms available because NASCAR is in town, so I get to hang out at the gate all night, woohoo.

The only good thing is the wireless hotspot is free, so I'm going to try to stay up all night and nef with everyone.

Better than being stuck at Buffalo overnight... then being stuck overnight again... then again... waking up on the airport floor Christmas morning...

They have backups for those. So they could have flown it but are being safe.

Heh.. if I'm going to do that, I might as well just sleep here (or stay awake). The wireless is free, and I don't have to go through security again (I was flagged for SSSS). With luck, I'll make my flight in the morning, and the plane won't crash...

Well good luck with the plane...I remember trying to sleep in LGA, but A.) Uncomfortable and B.) Too paranoid that someone would steal my stuff.

 

[intogamer]

Hmm they should have airport hotels

No kidding about (B).. I've got my laptop, my 60GB ipod, and my Canon SD550 here with me. Maybe I'll go for a walk in a bit, and get some exercise.

and if you have some blank DVD-Rs or CD-Rs, you can open a shop for yourself and maybe you will earn enough overnight to cover the costs for your trip

I hope the airline compensate you BIG time for this, at least some major points

Don't they have dog kennels?

 

[DainBramaged]

[Excelsior]

No idea yet.. I'll have to find out when I contact them tomorrow (or monday). It's all paid for by my work anyway, but still, they owe me a trip to the Caribbean or something.

Just be glad you don't smoke. Going through security every hour sucks.
