John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Airplane Travel

Arrived at airport this morning shortly after 5am and about everything that could have gone wrong with parking, ticketing, security, etc, did go wrong.

As I arrived at my gate to board my plane I was told the doors had been locked “one minute ago” and it would be “impossible” to re-open the door.

The thought ran through my mind, “What would Alec Baldwin do in a situation like this?”

I remembered Alec likes playing “Words with Friends” on his cell phone when faced with airline issues but I didn’t have the app on my phone and wasn’t sure that would be helpful anyway.

I then asked myself, “What would Kayne West do?” I looked around but didn’t see Taylor Swift anywhere.

Stumped….and exasperated I resignedly asked myself “What Would Delta Have Me Do?” They were nice enough to get me on the next flight and now I have time to download the app for Words with Friends as well as Taylor Swif’ts latest single.

I think it kinda all worked out.

Thanks Alec. Thanks Kayne. And thanks Delta. Especially Delta.
