Benefits-
Early arrival, lunch in SFO (way better options in that terminal), and I
now know, thanks to Skymall, that the 'human slingshot' exists.
Drawbacks-
Gave up my priority exit row seat, not sure if the Club there has
showers (I could use one), did almost an immediate connecting flight for
the second time in a row.
And, though I'm not
sure how it plays, the weather is deteriorating in SFO, so all the
flights into there are significantly delayed. No, San Fran doesn't get
the snow storms I'm worried about in the northeast, but through a
striking bit of unfortunate planning, the runway setup doesn't
handle.....fog well. Yes fog...as if no one saw that as a potential
issue with this...
Especially as I don't have
anywhere to be until the evening, I'm willing to go along with it and
still enjoy the little things. For instance, our pilots are doing their
best to remain congenial with the already delayed passengers and have
started giving a (slowly) rolling tour of the scenic LAX taxiway-
"And
for those of you on the left side of the aircraft, you will be able to
see two Airbus 380s, you may have heard about them in the news.
They're...really large..."
Gold star guys,
gold star.... Consider me entertained. Now, let's get up the coast.
There's some vegetarian pho with my name on it.
