Stuck in the LAX Hilton. F You American Airlines!

American Airlines severely overbooked my flight home for Christmas. Not enough people wanted to take the $300 voucher and free hotel (imagine that, people actually wanted to get to their destination on the flight they had originally scheduled) so they had to keep people off the flight involuntarily. Of course, had I known that from the onset of the ticket purchase, I would have picked a different airline! Anyway, I got bumped from the flight and had to kick it for the night at the LAX Hilton. I also received an $800 voucher for an airline that I never want to fly again, fantastic.

The only way to fly

The easiest why to get to Troy, AL is to fly into its tiny air strip. They are working on a new terminal at the airport. Surprisingly it has more character than the cheap mass production steal structures that get used for every other new building around.

Orlando International Airport

It takes a little while to get to the airport from the coastal islands of Florida... Since arriving at the airport about 15 minutes too late to check baggage I am now hunkered down at the Hyatt attached to MCO. The airline had no problem taking me from a very crowded 7 pm fight to a rather empty 7 am flight anyway. The Hyatt is an interesting hotel. The convenience of being apart of the airport lobby is nice. There are also random birds in cages on the 6th floor of this place. They weren't very entertaining however.
