Hellish!

We arrived at the airport.. dropped off our luggage and went and took our spots on the chairs with leg rests and waited.. Logan airport isn't the most thrilling of places so we just people watched while waiting out. 

We had received an email prior to leaving the house that the plane was delayed, so we had arrived a little later than usual, which was quite handy.. I know I'd rather hang out at home than at a boring airport. Upon checking in, the lady advised us again that there was the delay but all was good.. nothing we could do but wait. Wait we did. There was free internet.. but that timed out and stuff so I couldn't really be bothered with it after the first login.

I went for a stroll around the terminal when my butt started to get a bit bored of sitting.. used the facilities and picked up a nice cold caramel frap.. and then parked said ass back in the seat until it was time to board.. things by this stage were pretty ok.. it felt like any other flight.. we board, we complain about the heat on the plane.. why is it they can never get the aircon right? It was like a freaken sauna! The captain greets us over the intercom and advises us that even though we are leaving late.. we will still arrive at the scheduled time.. around 5.5 hours later! Which made for a happy Jo.. coz it meant less time on that damn plane...

But... then...

Another announcement was made.. there were 'technicial difficulties' and there would be a short delay.

And another announcement was made.. and another.. and then they started serving drinks so you just knew at that point that we were gonna be stuck there for a good while. All the while the damn captain kept coming on to say that we would be on our way in a few and to just hang in there. He then proceeded to tell us after a couple of hours that it was just one of those things and there was nothing we can do about it.. I can't remember his exact words but those were the jist of what he was saying.. and it made me want to go and pop him in the nose.

2.5 hours after everyone had boarded the plane.. we were finally heading to the runway to take off.. when we look over and the lady.. sorry complete douchebag of a princess who think she is better than everyone so she should be allowed to.. was playing on her phone.. which she had been doing the entire time she was seated next to us during the delay.. making no attempt to turn her phone off at all, despite there being several announcements for all electronics to be switched the frak off! Emma finally had it and so decided I would just nark on her to the ladies and off behind the curtain I went.. and sure enough they came.. and the best bit.. the lady walked up to her and said.. "do you speak English?" Loved it! it made me giggle. She tried to say that she was just switching it off.. but she wasn't.. but she did after that! 

Soon enough.. we were up in the air.. finally and I was thinking that the worst was behind us... oh how wrong I was. I had a complete douche of a dude in front of me.. just before I was about to get my food.. he reclined as much as he could go. I had the tv screen in my face and once the tray arrived, I barely had room adjust anything.. I asked the lovely ladies if they could tell him to just move up a little.. she looked at him and said "he's fully asleep" I gave her a I don't give a fuck look, and she and another lady just moved him up as he slept.. which just so happened to happen as we hit a bit of turbulence.. which I guess was a blessing in a way coz he had no idea.. but sadly it wasn't such a blessing.. I had poured my wine and just got through my salad.. when he awoke slightly and realised he wasn't as reclined as he could be.. so he reclined again and knocked my glass of wine all the frak over me. I was covered in wine. My tray was covered in wine. I was pissed. I tried to clean up what I could.. with what little I had. Then went and told the ladies behind the curtain what had happened.. they cleaned up my seating area and got me new food while I was in the bathroom trying to dry off some more. I now stunk of wine. They offered me more wine when they brought back my food.. I declined. I didn't think it would be so safe with such an asshole in front of me. I am a firm believer that you should not be able to recline. ever. There is not enough space to recline. simple.

However.. as it turned out this trip I did recline.. because not only did we happen to have a douche in our window seat.. I also had an old lady who spent the entire flight staring at me on the other side of me. The recline douche in front of me.. and now I shall tell you about the complete frakkin tossknuckle who sat behind me.. who obviously had never used a touch screen before coz he for some reason thought you had to hit it as hard as you fucking could.. each and every time he wanted to do something. To the point where it would shake my entire chair. So, I reclined a little.. he kept going.. so I reclined a little more.. he. kept. going. so I reclined just a little bit more.. he then pressed even harder.. which I didn't think was possible so I went fuck it.. and reclined as far as I could go. He stopped. and I didn't feel him touch that screen for the rest of the flight.

When the flight was finally over.. we only had an hour to make our next connection.. we not only got our express tickets again.. but we got an escort.. which, well quite frankly was pointless coz he couldn't get us through the main part faster and we had to queue anyways.. we could have got to that point faster without him.. but I guess it meant that they really wouldn't leave without us coz we were being escorted. We got through on time.. boarded and once again got sat next to a cellphone using moron.. who was still checking emails as we were heading to the runway.. Emma, this time had truly had enough and just snapped at her. Moron obeyed. All was good until after take off when she needed to use the toilet, inside of being polite and asking for us to move.. she tried to climb over us. LOL amusing to say the least.

We were right at the front of the cattle class, so to amuse myself I would put my foot in business/first class to make out it was riding in style. It was one of the smaller planes where they only have a simple curtain between seats to separate between business and cattle. Same seats as cattle.. you just never have the middle one taken.. apparently. 

The flight was pretty painless.. we arrived all safe and sound in Copenhagen.. headed to the baggage claim.. waited.. waited.. waited.. and waited some more.. until it was quite clear, our luggage had not made the connection.. I guess they forgot to give our luggage the little express tickets! Silly! We filled out a form and off to the train we went.. with just our satchels! Which if I am honest.. was kinda blissful! I do know I was dreading carting those bags up my stairs. The train ride home was kinda peaceful and it was lovely to be home.. Nemo growled at me, I guess he was a little pissy.. once again. We showered and relaxed, had take away for dinner and fell asleep on the couch. It was good to be home!

The following day.. the luggage arrived all safe and sound, and carted up the stairs by a strapping Dane.
