The flights to and from San Fran were pretty horrible. (Not to mention how ANNOYED I was about the whole terrorist thing – I couldn’t even bring water or lotion on the flight! And strangely no one even checked anyone’s carry-on bags at the security checkpoint, which means I could’ve snuck it in. Boo.) By the way, Spirit Airlines isn’t really a good airline to fly, but I’m sure most of you already sort of know that, since it’s not popular like American or United, but at least it’s not a target! Let’s start with the flight going to San Fran. We got to LaGuardia pretty early and it was like one of the hottest days in NY. THERE WAS NO AIR CONDITIONING! Not even a fan. We were baking in the airport. I have never experienced such a thing. We had to stopover in Detroit first and the airport there is no good. The terminal was really small and only had like a bar/restaurant and a Chili’s/Uno’s Express. The line was LONG! The food was kinda expensive and nothing looked good to me. Then the flights to Detroit and San Fran made me deaf in my left ear from the cabin pressure during landing. Coming back from San Fran, we had a red eye flight (approx. 11 PM) and we had to stop in Detroit again. But for some reason we were stuck at the gate inside the airplane for like 45 minutes after everyone had boarded. (At that point I hadn’t had any water for 3-4 hours so I was pretty ticked.) That flight was about 4 1/2 hours and our seats couldn’t recline because we were sitting in front of the seats next to the emergency exit!! It was so hard to sleep sitting up straight. We even bought the pillows that go around your neck and that was even uncomfortable because it made your head lean forward more. So we pretty much got NO sleep at all last night. My ears were okay on the flight coming back, but not for Ether. He had the same problem I had, except in the right ear. :-PI know, I complain a lot. I’m just glad we made it alive. 😀
