you are a fantastic storyteller. i happened onto your blog because i googled sandra lee (whom i dont care for either, for the record), and upon reading you sandra lee cake story decided to dig deeper and read another. i'm not sorry. this was hilarious...in an "i feel so bad for you" way. :)

I just went through a situation in Germany with United where they extorted two hundred dollars from me. I empathize with your situation. I enjoyed your writing. I remember sprinting through the Frankfurt Airport determined to get on my connecting only to be greeted by stone cold United employees. The positive on this situation is that I found Lufthansa and had a wonderful experience with them. Kudo's to you ! United be damned !

I'm not sure if this is proper etiquette when commenting on a blog, but as a thanks for your humorous story, I thought I'd share my experience with United.

During my 56 hour trip from San Francisco to Sioux Falls, South Dakota (which was supposed to be done in less than 7 hours, including the layover) I too was lucky enough to spend the night in a hotel in one of Denver's finest suburbs. Fellow stranded United passengers and I saw the sites of Denver as we passed by during our $70 taxi ride to the hotel.

While trying to be cordial and not too demanding, I too cried while in the customer service line, but I think it's because I waited in line for 3 hours and was loopy from dehydration by the time I got to the counter. We didn't get our miniature bottled water because there was too much turbulence on the flight to Denver.

Fortunately my extended stay in Denver allowed me plenty of time to use my $8 food voucher. Next time you're in Denver for an extended period of time and need some dinner, I suggest TCBY's version of an Oreo blizzard. While you're there why not pick up one of their stale blueberry bagels for breakfast since you can only use your the food voucher in one location.

HOTEL: $54.68
TAXI: $38
TIME WITH FAMILY LOST: 49 hours
A $75 VOUCHER FOR A FUTURE TICKET WITH UNITED AIRLINES: PRICELESS

God bless you Brianna. If I ever fly United and have problems, I'll give them hell in your honor. No crying, I promise.

Great blog! I suspected I was not the only one that seemed to have 'bad luck' with United, but I never had it this bad. You are a very patient person - I would have done snapped three times over.

If this ever happens again (and I sincerly hope it does not) you are welcome to crash at my house for no charge (I live 15 minutes away). :)

Good luck in the rest of your travels!

While of course your experience is not at all laughable, this entry really entertained me. Thumbs up for being so cool despite the poor treatment by United. I don't think I would have been able to hold it together and look on the bright side. Also - I've noticed I cry more than I ever used to, and had this happened to me, I probably would have cried too.

Having lived in Denver and having spent a night on an airport bench two weeks ago, I can utterly sympathize with you. Except for the part about the guy on Dancing with the Stars. - Luke

Brianna,

I enjoyed reading this post even more than I enjoyed reading about your old huge boobs (old as in ex not as in old and wrinkled). And yes you did look hot by the pool in Vegas...how you doin?

2007-05-16T13:42:00.000-04:00

I have to disagree with kajal about Steve Sanders... But then again, I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, so clearly I'm not up to date on his hunkaroony-ness.

On the lighter side, though, this was an excellent, chipper, humourous recount of what was clearly an awful weekend. I didn't keep track of how much work you missed while you were retelling the story, but I hope you didn't wind up too far behind.

And hey, at least United didn't mail you a voucher for the motel in Parker, CO. Small blessings.

I love this post. I sort of like it when you face disasters b/c then I get to hear/read about it in your always humerous and sarcastic way. This post reminds me of my 5+ years travelling...and I don't miss it a bit. If only I'd had a blog then to share tales of sleeping on the airport floor...

2007-05-15T15:54:00.000-04:00

Who needs to work. Not when I can laugh my ass off reading things Bri wrote;) But seriously How dare thay. United has been kind to me but then I only fly them on the west coast. Showed up for my late night flight to PDX it was over booked I volunteered my seat. I get a hotel room for the night, $15 in food vouvhers and a free flight any where I want to go in the US. But hell if Mother nature gets involved they give you nada. Sorry Kelly

At least you can find solace in the fact that your bad luck often ends in humor (perhaps due to your kick-ass story telling style). Next time I see you I will ply you with booze and if time warner cable cooperates, at least 4 hours of Lost.

2007-05-15T00:08:00.000-04:00

1. this entire entry was hilarious
2. I totally empathize, I was in the Buffalo airport for only 4 extra hours today and it was 5 hours too many.
3. I too drink Mikes hard and the like at far too high a ratio compared to other drinks. Sometimes I wish my drink choices were cooler and more mature... but... they aren't. We can have a slumber party and giggle about Chad Michael Murray together okay? (And drink cran-raspberry Smirnoff or something)
