Holiday Flying Tip: Be Early

Now normally when I come to the airport, it’s like an hour before time to leave. But yesterday was a special case. My body didn’t want to wake up an extra hour early, but my mind said we had to otherwise I would miss my flight. So I got up early…didn’t leave as early as I hoped, lol. Either way, I got to the airport an hour and a half before my flight left (which was pointless and I’ll tell you why later). When I got to the line for the counter it was obviously long. So long that they made us reform part of the line outside. Tell me why this burly German ass nigga tried to cut in front of the line. The lady attendant was bout to make him go to the back so then he asked if he could cut ahead of me. I look at him (and his fine ass black girl, which makes me ask, why do European men be havin the cutest black chicks? I mean she was tall and her butt was like POW and her chest was like bla-dow) and tell his ass I got a flight to catch too. Like you knew what day you were leavin, why you gonna treat it like it’s any other day. Anyways, showin up early didn’t really help because as my boarding time approached, they opened up a separate line for my flight. They did the same at the security check point (which took up the ENTIRE floor). So while I thought I was beatin the system showin up early, the system already had me figured.

Holiday Flying Tip: Plan for the worse.

After seein the weather reports, I was pretty sure I wasn’t gonna make it home any where near on time. So I already had a back up spot to stay at O’Hare (and it wasn’t a damn bench). My flight was delayed by 3 hours… more than enough time to read a new book I purchased: How to Ignore People That Ask Stupid Questions (I co-authored). I also packed my charger in my carry on luggage so that just in case I was stranded, I could use my phone for more than 3 hours. Unlike the lady in the news who slept at the airport for two days and was distraught that her child’s medicine was running out. Like who goes on Christmas vacation and packs two days worth of medicine for their child? Was the child gonna be sick for the other remaining days?
