So as I was settling myself into my seat for my 2 hour plane ride to Detroit, when the pilot (who was probably a younger gentlemen) comes over the load speaker and announces, “Folks, we are just awaiting a part – no big deal – just a part we are missing…soooo we will be leaving a bit late but I am sure we will make it up in air and arrive on time”. Although slightly disconcerting since we were still at the gate, no one said anything.
Navigating the airport just got a lot more fun! Forget using moving walkways – ride your carry-on luggage!
