TxTeach79's Pride LIVE 5/28: Post Drydock European Adventure!

[TxTeach79]

[TxTeach79]

Plane is five minutes away from landing! Then the mystery gate shall be revealed…..

 

meanwhile, as delirium sets in, this Starbucks/Harrods juxtaposition feels like some weird modern corporate Battle of Yorktown

 

[TxTeach79]

Forgot to post how classy we kept it on the plane (this was probably a shaky idea tbh)

 

[TxTeach79]

Our flight has suddenly gone from “gate shown at 14:20” to “please wait”

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Made it to the gate! Ran into @Eli_6 and her fam - an international cruise critic miracle! Now, let’s just get the heck to Spain, y’all.

Late to the party, all caught up. Now nervous about our AA/BA flights next week to Athens. 😳

woohoo! Now the party can start if @MeganGC1983 is here!

 

I bet you’re fine. This was such a weird screwy app thing, it made no sense. Can’t imagine it being a common thing. Also, Greek Isles cruise, hell yeah!

[TxTeach79]

Welp, we’re in Group 6, so B just ran to the toilets (hey, we’re in London) real quick…. And boy, am I glad she did….

There is a woman in a full Southwest Airlines flight attendant uniform at our gate. In London. 

[TxTeach79]

One of the most unique gate/jetway situations I’ve come across, that’s for sure

When airline employees fly interline wearing their uniform allows them certain benefits especially with security screening.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the absolute least leg room I have every had in any moving vehicle in my life and it’s not close - BA A320. This is not comfortable. Like, my knees and mashing hard into that seat.

Yikes!!  Hope it isn't a long flight🤞

[TxTeach79]

Two hours in the air, two and a half gate to gate. And we’re delayed. I’m trying to contort into any position possible where this isn’t miserable, but I’ve yet to find it 

 

[TxTeach79]

Pilot just told us BA’s IT department spit the bit today and it set this and many other flights behind 30-45 minutes. We’ll be on the ground a little longer. 
 

also there’s so air traffic control restrictions over the Pyrenees due to weather; if we don’t get loaded and off in the next 15 minutes, apparently we miss some slot and we’ll be stuck longer? Checks out tbh 

[TxTeach79]

Oh, and we can expect some considerable turbulence on the way into BCN. Of course we can!

That's so frustrating - especially when you're crunched into your seat. Hopefully you're on your way sooner than later. 

[TxTeach79]

Stuck on the tarmac another 15-20 per the captain 

[TxTeach79]

We got to DFW about 23 hours ago. Still truckin’.

[TxTeach79]

Another 25-30 minute delay on the tarmac. 

[TxTeach79]

turns out people online already did a good job summing up our travel experience of the last day quite well….

 

 

[TxTeach79]

They are serving snacks and water while we’re on the ground. Never a good sign. 

[Eli_6]

Still here.....on the tarmac

 

Waiting.

 

And waiting.

[TxTeach79]

Who needs to sleep or feel your legs when you’ve got THIS??!? #thanksBA
