Adventures Flying Home

Yesterday, Little Kat and I flew home. I proposed eating outside the airport. I chose a Mexican fast food place I liked. I only ate two big chips and dip. Little Kat also had chips and dips, but added some chalupa looking thing. He had trouble connecting his phone to the car rental afterwards.

We went to go through security. I showed some guy my ticket, proving I could get in the TSA pre-check line. But when I went past it, I was confused. There were conveyor belts with lots of empty bins. But there was nobody trying to go through security. I put my stuff in a bin and pushed it through the screening.

I could not figure out how to pass through any metal detector. I asked some guy working there. A lady came and opened up one metal detector. I waited a long time for Little Kat on the other side. He told me I was wilding, because I skipped the ID check in, and also crossed over to TSA touchless check in.

When I tried to board the plane, the attendant said because they changed the type of place we were on, my seat changed. Oh no. I checked in 24 hours earlier to ensure I got a good seat. I was demoted. The attendant must have sensed my pain. He seemed to then give me a seat upgrade.

I went down the plane and found my seat. Some girl was sitting in the aisle seat. I told her my seat was beyond her by the window. She changed seats to the window seat. I told her that her seat was the aisle. She said it was ok. I was not going to argue, as I had a seat upgrade.

This plane was a lot larger than the tiny thing we flew in on. I had tons of leg rooms. Even side to side it felt spacious, even though there was just a skinny young girl next to me. I got a whole can of Dr. Pepper. I did go to the back to use the bathroom. I don't think the ceiling height was more than 6 foot.
