The plane of the eternal nightmares

So I fly a lot.
like once a month thanks to having to see specialists in another state.
So I'm kinda used to delays etc, but last night was not fun.
Last night after having a long day of being poked and probed I get to the QANTAS terminal.
One of the security screening machines brakes down and what was already 4 incredibly long lines turn into 3 huge lines.
Finally get in and wait for my flight at the gate (always a good time to go sit and read for my course work) it's the only gate without air conditioning.
15 minutes before boarding and we get moved to another gate. so everyone gets and moves and sits down, everyone gets comfortable and waits. 10 minutes later, it's apparent that we aren't going to leave on time, one because there has been no calls to prepare for boarding and well one of the engines is being worked on.

another half an hour later we get moved to another gate WHICH IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TERMINAL.
at this stage to say I wasn't happy is an understatement.
finally after trekking to the otherside of the terminal and another 30 minute wait we finally get on the plane.


I hate flying.


til next time!
