Anyone Have 1.21 Gigawatts I Can Borrow?
I signed into my Orbitz account this morning to check the mileage on the flights I am taking to and from California this summer. I check on my flights for the family reunion and I see the following:
Anyone notice a problem with this particular flight schedule? Apparently, United is extremely optimistic and thinks the flight from DC to Chicago to be quite early; or, the airline expects me to master time travel. I, however, am a bit weary of such things being possible and think a -35 minute layover is not enough.
This is, of course, not the flight I booked. Apparently, United changed my flight without informing me. I called Orbitz and they corrected the problem very quickly, putting me on a direct flight from DC back to San Francisco. So a thank you to the kind people there who made the change and were extremely polite and friendly in the process.

That’s what they call a mid-air switch. Similar to the high-speed interchange of which highway engineers are so fond, you have about 50 feet somewhere over northern Indiana to make the change, while other passengers are getting off right behind you. Good luck with it. I’d ask for a aisle seat at check-in. Fifty feet isn’t much time.
