What does it hurt to try?
Well...
Just about seven hours extra flying.
I drove to lax in the morning, they said nothing to talk about, the ticket would have to be reissued. Burbank was worse, there was no one to talk to. After I checked myself in by the kiosk a from delta was passing by and asked if i checked in ok, i said ya but not really... she was in a rush. Then at the gate i noticed delta's newest way of saving money: the person who holds the red flashlights to direct the plane also mans the gate. If she would have given me the time of day the plane probably would have taken a wrong turn, and i might have missed my connection in lax, so i didnt want to take any risks (and neither did she). Basically, i dont think ill be trying that again. (but i did get like 1,000 extra miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I think i should have just given someone $50 to take the first two legs.
