Hello,
Even though Lexi was a great and easy to entertain companion it seemed like a long wait for our trip back to the US. I am glad that I was there to help Sarah because that would have been long. We figured that the entire trip from door to door took 28 hours.
In the airport we never heard them announce that they were loading the plane, but it was happening. One kind flight attendant came up the line and, because of Lexi took us to the front of the line. That was nice. At the check-in counter something was wrong and they could not check-in Sarah or Lexi. The woman who was working on that finally asked us to step to the side and she would call for help.
Waiting for assistance we could hear a man talking loudly to the person behind the desk. He had been moved two rows back did not like that at all. Apparently two people had been assigned to the same seat. Because he was the second one she moved him. He thought because it was their fault they should move him forward and not back. He expounded on the unfairness for a long time even though she told him repeatedly that there were no seats forward. Can you believe that he was an American? I had to stifle the urge to go to him and tell him to suck it up. He was getting on the plane and in a similar seat. So what if it was back two rows.
Help arrived for us. The guy asked to see the ticket that Sarah had and solved the problem almost instantly. The woman who had helped us originally was so embarrassed that it was such a simple oversight on her part. I was just happy to have it all solved. We were going to get on this plane and get home. I even got enough flyer miles out of this trip that I can go free sometime on this airline. Usually I have gone on a number of different airlines so I never get enough miles with any one. But two trips of 16,000 each tipped the scale.
