1st

True story:
My original flight from Los Angeles to Washington DC was scheduled for the 17th. Due to weather in Boston (where my plane originated), that flight was cancelled.
I rescheduled for a 9:10 flight on the 18th.
Naturally, I got to the airport a little early. I thought arriving at LAX at 7 am would be enough to make a 9 o'clock flight.
Boy, was I wrong!
I had to check a bag, so the line I found myself in (after standing for 30 minutes in the wrong line) was ridiculous.
In fact, I stood in that line until 8:30, when I realized that even if I checked my bag right then - the security line was just as long.
So I made my way to the 'reservations' line, which was a serpentine beast of epic proportions. In fact, it took 3 hours (from 8:30 - 11:30) to get through. I made a lot of friends in that line. Despite the fact that we all had missed flights - the mood was one of cordial resignation.
I finally departed LA one full day and 5 1/2 hours later than planned. (see more)
