I NEED MY MOMMY!!! (vent)

So today was the day I pick my mom up from the airport.  Well about an hour before she is supposed to take off, her flight gets delayed by an hour.  Then it gets delayed by a second hour...then a third.  Until finally they cancel it.  Okay, fine, I rather they do that then put her on a plane that has "mechanical issues."  Then after my poor mother waits in line for 2 hours to get a new flight, she finds out that she arrives at O'Hare at 5.  IN THE MORNING!!!  Okay, sucky, and my mom said that if I showed up at 7am that is fine, she will just hang in the airport.  So my mom goes to retrieve her bag.  They broke it.  And not kind of broke it, they destroyed the zipper so it won't close 3 of the 4 sides (HOW??? Just HOW????).  Thankfully she didn't lose anything and its all still in tact.  They offered to tape it for her, but they didn't have duct tape, just packaging tape and that won't work.  So she had to put a claim in for her suitcase.  So my step-dad had to drive BACK to LAX (a 3 hour drive from their home) to give her a new suitcase.  Well because he had to drive back to give her a new suitcase, she couldn't make her early morning flight.  So she got a new flight, so now she gets in tomorrow at freaking 10PM!!! I'm so irritated by all this.  I guess now I have more time to clean.  But this still all sucks.  And just FYI people, this was Spirit airlines that totally screwed this all up.  Anyways, sorry for the rant, and thanks for listening.

    Spirit is an ok airline when you have a lot of time for travel, not so much when you have to be somewhere on time. My mom flies spirit from MPLS to ORD all the time to visit because she's retired, and has the time for the delays---and there are always delays. I'm sorry, that sucks. I hope she arrives soon and safely!
  • We got her last night at 10pm.  She flew Delta then. Its nice having her here now.  We are hoping that the whole thing doesn't happen again when my step-dad flies in on thursday.  Cause he is on the same flight.  And spirit only has one flight a day coming from LAX to ORD
