    @Matt That would be really great. Also once my plans get solidified I was going to reach out to Adam,and see if our paths could finally cross.

      Fuck United Airlines with a bundle of rebar.

      After going to the San Diego airport twice yesterday for flights that got cancelled, and I suspect they knew were unlikely to occur for various reasons I won’t get into, I book the only option fucking two days out and get on the standby they offer for a flight this morning. I’m second in line there. But I can’t get a boarding pass to get through security because my backup flight is >24 hours out. How does this happen? This is the third goddamn time they’ve made me go to the airport for nothing in two days. I had to book an emergency room last night. In what world is this sensible or acceptable cos it ain’t this one.

      I have to work through a travel agent so the obvious move of refunding and choosing an alternative one way flight is in her hands while I wait.

      Think it, be it.

        If there's one thing I don't miss about Denver it's United. They've gotten progressively worse to where they're about on-par with Frontier for me and I won't fly on them unless there are no other options. Really sorry about the headache getting home/out of San Diego.

          Thanks man. I was a Southwest guy but shifted for international flights. Those are kind of the only options here for flexibility if you prefer direct flights.

          Both have shit the bed prodigiously of late.

          I really miss Northwest when I lived in Minneapolis and wish Delta were viable in Denver.

            Yup. I feel your pain. Hope this gets sorted fast and you can get out successfully.
            I suppose if it's still terrible out of SD, maybe your agent can get you a car to drive to LAX where there could be more options?
            Had to do that once myself a long time ago to get back to Denver.

              Thanks—I got lucky and made a standby.

              The far flung geography and limited public transit of SoCal are not ideal. I was checking airports all the way to LAX with no luck. I am so grateful to have been at the top of the standby list. What a shit show!

              Think it, be it.

                Just laughing at the fact that this thread has 11,857 posts! Nothing quite unites people of the world like a good old rant! Being a middle aged man I'm getting increasingly partial to a good old rant myself! My wife often refers to me as Victor Meldrew. For those from outside of the UK and partial to a good old rant look up Victor Meldrew and One Foot in the Grave. A brilliant sitcom about a grumpy old man.

                            If it weren‘t for bad luck… Plans for the party in 4 weeks out of the window, everything thrown under the bus. Father in law in hospital with a stroke, and I just drove my mum to the clinic, she‘s going under the knife for back surgery first thing tomorrow morning. Still struggling with my father‘s passing 8 months ago - it‘s quite a lot that‘s currently thrown my way.
