YOUR DELAYED FLIGHT JUST GOT UPGRADED TO A PHOTO OP
A traveling case of thanksgiving
Check your day schedule. Thanksgiving Day will be here before you know it, in less than a fortnight to be exact. Exactly when and whether your arrival will be timely as estimated is another matter not set in stone. Pencil it in.
Just about the only thing you can count on these days is a flight delay. Every lonesome traveler at the airport with you also planned to be someplace else on the fourth Thursday in November. Where else but home, of course, ‘cause there’s no place like it for the holidays. At this most traveled time of year, the AP wire service reporting a number of flight delays should come as no surprise. “Airline travelers are experiencing up to three-hour flight delays,” yada, echoing the singsongy sigh of Perry Como. “Gee, the traffic is terrific.” All of us alike as not have been part of the mob descending on the tarmac.
Driven loopy taxiing round the runway? Dying of boredom alone at the airport? Never again. Nor do you have to if you don’t want. Check it out, the carry-on luggage opens up like a handbag, and this makes another good stowaway for tripods. In the likely event of a worst case scenario, it’s a win-win: remain occupied and retain sanity.
True, it requires that readers understand the leftover craze. But there is only so much a writer can do.
