Flight to Pensacola




Wow! What an experience we had flying to Pensacola. First our flight was slightly delayed, that's fine, but our first flight couldn't land in Minneapolis so we had to refuel in Fargo. When we finally arrived in Minneapolis it was about midnight. We missed both our connections in Minneapolis and Memphis, so we got to sleep in the airport for night. A bit cold, and not much sleep, but we were rebooked for first class to Dallas, so that was okay. But, when we arrived in Dallas, things went downhill fast. We were told we were booked to a flight to Pensacola previously, but when we got to Dallas we were told we were on standby and nothing was guaranteed. We were led on one big goosechase after another. If you want to hear the full story, I'm writing a book on this one. It was quite crazy with one flight agent after another telling us different things. Finally, we ended up at NWA ticket counter asking kindly and FIRMLY to please straighten out our mess. We were booked on a first class flight to Atlanta and then Pensacola - finally!!!! We received some food coupons and some travel vouchers as well. I'm not sure how helpful they were be. So we arrived in Pensacola 24 hours after we originally should have. But now we are here and happy!
