It's like when people find out there's not in flight food, so they start splitting one packet of saltines 4 ways, even though they just ate.

I'd shell out $50 and hang out in the Delta Sky Club. Way more comfortable and free snacks and booze.

Our honeymoon flight was delayed so we were in airport for 7hrs. So we shelled out $50 bucks for the KLM Crown lounge. That saved the trip!

You don't even have to be flying Delta to do it, either. Just walk in and pay for a day pass.

The Daily Mail is a disreputable rag. Trump wants the editor to take Spicer's place at the podium.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

I heard Trump said Spicer was getting too fat. I think he's confusing him with Melissa McCarthy.

The down side is a lot of them have armrests so you cannot lay across seats

The photo may be a setup, but it's the distilled essence of what happened to them.

9 years ago | Likes 179 Dislikes 37

Maybe if they show via interpretive dance we'll "get it". The "setup", makes them part of the problem. It's not "United" it's "bad people"

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well I heard your mom was the distilled essence of what happened to them so yeah

9 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 4

It's not 'distilled essence.' It's her deliberately picking an uncomfortable spot to lay on, and acting as if the airline made her do it.

They didn't need a hotel, it looks like they were rebooked on a new flight that left a few hours later https://m.facebook.com/rachel.pas 1/2

Original flight left at 6:55,on FB they show they are on the way at 12:15am, 5 hours & 20mins later. No one needs a hotel for less than 5hrs

They had a compelling case without the picture. Like when soccer players legitimately get hit but then flop hard on top of it.

It's not like they're doing it for money. It's to make a point. Newlyweds having their flight cancelled and not given a voucher sucks.
