I’ve clocked about 2 million miles in the air. Travel Level exceeds expert. However, I made a rookie mistake tonight.

I thought my plane was at 17:55. Flight 424. I found it on the airport playboard. It said gate N8. So, I went to the N Terminal. I had dinner. I shopped at one of my favorite stores. I was relaxed.

Got to N8 and it said it wasn’t departing until 18:55. Weird. No note about a delay. Just 18:55. That explained why there were so few people waiting for the oversold flight. I sat down and proceeded to wait.

I don’t know why I checked the Alaska app. But thank goodness I did. My flight was 464 and WAS leaving at 17:55. in fact it was boarding. trouble was that the doors closed in 25 minutes and I was on the other side of the airport.

so, I sorta ran. best as a fat kid can. but thank goodness for Crossfit or I would have died. DIED. I broke a sweat, but I did it. I made it. Until the mean let at the gate wouldn’t let me board. But that is another story for another day. I eventually got on the plane and am almost home.
