When we left Disney back in May we flew home on Jetblue and had a bit of an interesting flight. Once on the plane we all settled in and were waiting for the plane doors to close and the plane to pull out when I heard a strange announcement - "Mr and Mrs. So and So, you're on the wrong flight, you're flight is leaving in a half hour and going to LaGuardia Airport." 2 people did the walk of shame down the aisle and off the plane. Seriously? How do you end up on the wrong plane? Yes, it was another Jetblue flight leaving around the same time and also going to NYC. But it had a different flight number, a different airport destination, different departure time and was leaving from a different gate. I can't imagine how that would happen. Maybe wishful thinking?
Other then that the flight was going well until we started to descend almost an hour before landing. My 4 year old nephew started screaming and screeching his head off because his ears hurt - he was THAT kid that everyone hates. My sister did try food and drink to help with the ears, but nothing worked. I could see a couple passengers were not happy about it. I think his exhaustion from the trip played a big role in his reaction since he didn't act like this on the flight to Disney. Once we landed he stopped screaming, but then started to cry - now he had to go to the bathroom and we were stuck waiting for a good amount of time to get to a gate, eventually my brother-in-law took him to the back to the bathroom. Just a note - while you are not supposed to get up, a flight attendant is not going to tackle you in the ailse for getting up when you're not supposed to. What does that mean? If it's an emergency then do what you have to do, but if you get hurt know that it's your own fault. After landing we waited an hour for our luggage, not good, but since our luggage actually came I guess we should be happy.
I thought all of this was the icing on the cake of a not very good vacation. But, I woke up with a cold the following day. Well at least I enjoyed our time in the parks!
