first things first...
so, a few months back, my favorite airline for flying to Maui went out of business. because of this, i was forced to find a new one and ended up on United out of LAX. this was a mistake.
first, they have a 45 minute before boarding check-in policy and i missed it by two minutes because i had been waiting in their ridiculously long lines for 40 minutes. not only would they not let me on, but they were incredibly rude to me about it.
second, when i talked to the United rep on the phone a few days ago, he told me that i needed to be “as close to 50 lbs. as possible” with my luggage. apparently my bag was 56 lbs. and so they charged me $100 and basically told me i was stupid. when i told them what the man on the phone had said, the lady called me a liar. awesome.
anyway, after dealing with all of that, i finally got to get on the next plane and deal with their equally rude flight attendants.
i hate United. i will NEVER be using them again. (you shouldn’t either.)
at least i had a really cute and funny two year old sitting next to me on the flight. he was either talking to me or sleeping the whole time and he never cried once. the perfect child. (of course, he did crap himself while he slept and mom didn’t want to wake him up so i got to deal with that smell for an hour or so, but it was already a pretty crappy flight so what was a little more?)
oh, by the way... gas in Hawaii... mucho expensivo.
