I was walking through the airport to Gate 11 to catch my
flight when I heard this announcement:
“Attention passengers on English Air flight 232 to Boise.
The departure gate has been changed. The flight will now be leaving from Gate
26.”
That was my flight! I looked at the flight information
monitors, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction. As I was
approaching Gate 26, there was another announcement:
“This is an announcement for passengers on flight 232 to
Boise. The flight has been delayed due
to bad weather conditions. The flight crew has arrived at the gate, but the
ground crew is still de-icing the wings
of the aircraft. Our new departure time is 10:50 AM.”
I thought the gate agent was done, but she had another
announcement to make:
“I’m afraid that flight 232 is overbooked. We’re looking
for passengers who are willing to take a later flight in exchange for a travel
voucher worth $300. Any passenger who is interested should see an agent at Gate
26.”
Oh, no, I thought. I hope I don’t get bumped from this
flight. Fortunately, a few minutes later, I heard this. It was music to my
ears.
