well, yesterday sucked ... my uncle in Texas (my father's brother) passed away. None of my brothers or sisters can afford to go but I'm pretty lucky in that I am allowed time off when I need it and have at least *some* money to take a last-minute trip. So, I booked a last minute flight to Texas for tomorrow. :O
The lowest fare I could find was on ATA which, of course I'd prefer United or American, but as my cousin said, "if a plane is gonna fall out of the air, it's gonna fall out of the air ... regardless of the amount you paid for your ticket, whether or not you were served dinner, or the name plastered on the outside." ... he has a point there. I actually got a round trip ticket for less than $1000 - very lucky. So .. has anyone flown ATA? I don't think I've ever had the pleasure .. I've done United, American, SouthWest, AmericaWest, and the various local airlines (Hawaiian and Aloha). Ok .. anyone have pointers? Should I bring my own dinner? Lifejacket? Keep my iPod on my ears so I can't hear the gum-smacking stewardess?
