Imagine five travelers arriving at Sea-Tac, exhausted from the Seahawk win, breezing thru check-in, breezing thru security, only to arrive at the gate and learn that the flight to San Francisco is one-half hour late. This means that you have one-half hour to make your connection to Dulles Airport! Kristina is told her carry-on luggage is too big and must be checked. She quickly takes out the bare necessities and others(except Earla) put some of their carry-on items in the checked luggage. We take off 41 minutes late and therefore have a real problem now! Upon landing we sprint to the gate for our connection only to find the door closed! The good news was that our checked luggage did not make the Dulles flight either'
It is now 10:45 and we work with United to rebook and get vouchers for lodging and food. We arrived at the Crowne Plaza, Burlingame at 12:30 for a 3 and 1/2 nap before returning to the airport to fly to Newark to connect with a flight to Amsterdam and then a KLM flight to Kilimanjaro!
When we check-in Earla receives a suite which she uses for 3 and 1/2 hours. She gets to wear pajamas because she still has all her carry-on items intact!! She also has clean socks and a toothbrush!
We arrived tired but not too battered and all our luggage had arrived safely.
