We head bach to Cinci, and we see that we will be getting to the city about an hour before our scheduled departure. Perfect, just enought time to check out Kinneret Pizza (the other one - you would think that in all Ohio, you wouldnt need to reuse names for Pizza stores!).
I called about 10 minutes before we got there, but either they didnt believe me, or it just takes more time. I set a 20 min timer, and told my co-worker that when it rings, we are out. After a short wait we got pizza and fries. The fries were really good, with a nice crusty batter or whatever. Eat , bentch, pit stop, and wer're out the door. We get to the airport like 28 minutes before departure---just enough time to pull past the airport and rerfill the gastank on the rental.
We park the car, drop the keys in the box, and go into the airport. Same checkin system, just show your licence and go to the gate/waiting area/lounge. When we get there, they say, that they are just waiting for the last passenger, and as soon as he gets there, we will board. I check out the lounge. this is their hub, so the frij is stocked with yougurt and other goodies. Coffee, water, and snack bars. There is also a shower available in the men's bathroom, off in a pretty secluded corner, but BYOC (curtain) if desired.
Then I get another call. Hi is this username? This is National, we're calling because it looks like we did not get your credit card number. (I did not prepay for the rental, but at the counter the rep said that I was all set. I knew something was 'off', so I was not entirely suprised. Otherwise, I should have been suspicious that it could be a scam). I gave her the information, but because of the call, we were the last to board. No big deal, got fine seats, simmilar oilam from the morning, my co-worker claimed that it was pretty much the same guys.
After we board, we turn around and see this.
