3:04 kind of tough to see
0:43
the front of the clock here oh we just
0:46
moved it is
0:48
now 1 minute to one may be right yeah I
0:52
think it's 1 minute to
0:54
one so I have 2 hours and 4 minutes
0:56
where my fly flight takes off about an
0:58
hour and a half till the boards
1:00
and at this time of the day probably a
1:02
30 minute commute over to
1:05
MC and on this current trip that I'm
1:08
going to be going on I'm going to two
1:09
different destinations besides the
1:11
layovers there's going to be some
1:12
layovers on the flights so I'm going
1:16
first to Baltimore and then after
1:18
Baltimore a couple days 2 or 3 days
1:21
going to be departing and going
1:23
elsewhere before returning back
1:25
here in a timely
1:28
manner and then middle of the month I'm
1:31
going on a twoe road trip this one will
1:33
mostly be flights couple rental car
1:36
rental cars in certain cities that I'm
1:38
going to be in but the one later on when
1:41
I get back and in the middle of June
1:44
twoe Road Trip in the middle of June is
1:46
going to be all by car no flights kind
1:49
of looking forward to that one all right
1:51
I get going got to get to the airport
1:52
approaching the airport big the foot
1:55
depending on the time frame that I'm
1:57
gone this time frame will not be too
1:59
terribly long so I just will leave my
2:02
car if I a rather short trip you know
2:05
within a under two weeks it's under 10
2:08
days I'll just leave my car here you
2:10
know a week to 10 days give or take I'll
2:13
just leave my car here and this trip
2:15
Falls kind of in that similar proximity
2:18
and then that way I can just roll right
2:20
in also this is the first time that a
2:23
pepy Lew has been mounted on my
2:27
luggage so all parked ready to roll
2:31
going to roll down to the elevator go
2:34
check
2:35
in there's the control
2:38
tower and head to Charlotte then from
2:41
Charlotte to
2:48
Baltimore over on the deer
2:48
level my mom and I did a trip a while
2:50
back and she pointed out that they're
2:52
very skinny deer
3:19
ear going down
3:34
elevators and
3:35
escalators such is the life of an
3:38
airport
3:43
traveler the quintessential
3:43
Fountain bubbling up when I think of MCO
3:47
Orlando International I think of the
3:50
fountain I think of the big US flag and
3:53
I think of the weary sleeply sleepy
3:57
traveler sculpture all right
4:01
304 to Chicago is the first leg of
4:05
this what I say Chicago Charlotte the
4:09
one under it Chicago is
4:19
delayed oh there's
4:19
mine 304 gate
4:26
56 right
4:28
there got worried for a second I saw a
4:30
delay but it's the one underneath it
4:32
mine's on time there he is the weary
4:36
traveler right over here created in 1985
4:39
by Dwayne Hansen the most real realistic
4:44
sculpture you've ever seen not a real
4:47
person hang on Minion hang
4:50
on okay from here I got to go over to
4:52
gate 56 it looks as if there's a heck of
4:55
a lot of people in the line over here
4:58
the other Gates there weren't but this
5:00
there is over here 1 through 59 says 26
5:03
minute waight all right that was
5:05
interesting I didn't have to so didn't
5:07
have to use the
5:09
trays or anything I didn't have to take
5:12
my shoes off take my belt off put it in
5:14
the bag I kept my laptop in the bag it
5:18
did take about probably 25 minutes but
5:21
yeah there no there was no major
5:23
disrobing I got keep my shoes on laptop
5:26
stayed in the bag took my belt off along
5:28
with my camera and my phone and
5:29
everything I think put it in that bag
5:30
now I've taken it back out put my belt
5:33
back on and now heading over where I got
5:37
to go my plane plane boards in 8 minutes
5:42
8es and it won't be too much longer
5:44
where I'm going to be flying a bunch of
5:46
random Airlines I usually try to pick
5:47
and choose different airlines but I have
5:50
signed up for another airline not this
5:52
one but since this was already booked I
5:55
did not use the airline I'm going to be
5:57
using for my Airline points especially
6:00
next year where I do a bunch of
6:01
international
6:02
travel and I have not got
6:06
the global entry yeah so I'm trying to
6:08
get Global Entry which also will access
6:11
I think those are those are the breeze
6:12
Airlines so yeah the breeze airlines are
6:14
also the American section so as I was
6:16
stating yesterday I got the passport
6:18
thing in order and that will be arriving
6:20
soon I think I got all that dialed in
6:22
correctly once I get that I have
6:26
the the task of getting the Global Entry
6:30
which is acts kind of like as a FastPass
6:33
it kind of does both it's like uh for
6:34
international and for for in the
6:37
traveling in the states where you don't
6:38
have to wait in the massive security
6:40
line
6:41
anymore which I don't really mind
6:43
waiting too much but this one was
6:44
cutting it kind of close one thing is
6:45
good though I am pretty much going to
6:47
walk up and board right now I brought my
6:48
own packs of gum but if I wanted to I
6:50
could get a gummy taco or maybe even
6:53
some toxic waste sour candies for the
6:56
plane or some gummy Sushi I always like
6:58
to show the gummy items because MCO
7:02
Orlando International does not sell gum
7:05
at the snack sections unless you wanted
7:07
to just take some gummy sushi on the
7:08
plane to keep your ears from popping
7:11
that would
7:11
work I just bring my whenever I whenever
7:14
I'm flying out of here I always bring my
7:15
own gum or in 4
7:17
minutes four minutes leaving
7:26
Orlando love this old mug right here
7:26
classic mug
7:39
56 that is the first fly of the
7:39
day American Airlines gate
7:43
56 yeah I went ahead and just more on
7:46
that when I finally book a flight
7:47
through the one that the airina would to
7:50
be using but
7:51
obviously it will not be American
7:54
Air and I've signed up for
7:57
the frequent flyer miles I've also got
8:01
another credit card that's connected to
8:03
it which I haven't used yet soon I've
8:05
got a bunch of other flights already
8:07
pre-booked that will give me mileage too
8:11
because I figur with next year toing a
8:12
bunch of international that it just
8:14
makes sense to finally start just having
8:17
one
8:18
Airline not saying I'm only going to use
8:20
the one Airline
8:21
but I would say most of the time choose
8:24
usually over here on the walkway in the
8:26
gang way I can see through that section
8:29
but there's no little slap so I got to
8:30
peek through here now I'm going to be
8:33
sitting in seat
8:34
5f window seat 5f I think it's the fifth
8:38
row back last row of that section left
8:42
is the window seat can't remember what
8:43
side of the plan it's on
8:46
but I would like to get the window seat
8:48
that way when take off Landing if I see
8:50
anything out the
8:51
window kind of document The Experience

gate was open it' be nice to get off
17:12
early um but just so you know your
17:14
connections are all good thank you all
17:17
right a big thank you to American
17:21
Airlines cuz they just checked and the
17:24
connecting flight has been
17:26
cancelled completely freaking cancelled
17:30
it's 452 right now I would have been
17:33
foring about a half hour for the next
17:36
flight oh look at this so the 602 is
17:40
me right
17:42
there
17:55
602 so I have a couple of
17:55
options the only other one going to
17:57
Baltimore that I can make his Frontier
18:01
right
18:02
here at
18:04
617 Now American did something for me
18:09
they put me on a
18:11
flight they they readjusted it at a
18:14
flight that was that land that left an
18:16
hour and a half ago at
18:18
3:00 and then they changed that to a
18:21
flight that's going to leave at like
18:22
9:30 or 1 p.m. but the problem is what
18:26
happens with that flight
18:29
gets postponed or cancelled so I have
18:31
taken matters into my own hands
18:34
and I'm going to keep the one for
18:37
10:00 which is to DCA which
18:41
is Washington DC which is a pretty good
18:45
ways away from where I'm staying in
18:46
Baltimore I'd have to Uber up or I've
18:50
have opted to purchase the Frontier
18:52
flight so I purchased the Frontier
18:54
flight and I'm going to keep the
18:56
American flight just in case one of
18:59
works out all right so here is the email
19:01
I got from American new
19:04
flight so that's the one I just took I
19:06
just landed 456 is 455 now so I got in a
19:11
couple minutes early and then this is
19:13
the the flight they want me to do now
19:16
9:32 so that's 4 hours and 30 minutes
19:20
from now and that's if it doesn't even
19:23
get postponed and or cancelled the one
19:27
that they just I don't I even know what
19:29
the reason is I I landed took my phone
19:31
off airplane mode and got an alert on
19:34
the app and also through email this one
19:37
just doesn't exist anymore it's just not
19:40
happening so as stated I went ahead and
19:44
booked that Frontier and I'm going to
19:46
keep the frontier and if it works out
19:48
I'll just
19:50
arrive in Baltimore and if it doesn't
19:53
work out sometimes Frontier gets a
19:54
little wonky too I'm going to keep this
19:57
flight that they have rebooked for me so
20:00
I'll have
20:01
both definitely not been having the best
20:03
of luck with American Air the last few
20:06
trips actually this is the third thirdd
20:09
time three
20:11
times where I've had a layover the last
20:13
three times I guess third time the
20:15
charm where the flight has either been
20:17
postponed canel extremely
20:21
delayed just keeping up with Traditions
20:23
I
20:25
guess not too excited about flying
20:28
Frontier but it takes off in like an
20:31
hour
20:32
so that's my option and if it works out
20:35
at least I'll get to where I got to go
20:37
or I can wait 4 and 1/2 hours for the
20:40
rebooked American Airlines with a chance
20:43
that maybe it won't happen and I will be
20:45
in a different city I'll be in DC Not
20:47
Baltimore and I'll have to Uber all the
20:49
way up to my hotel all right I got to
20:50
head over to a26 to
21:00
Frontier and I also looked into rening a
21:00
car however it's a pretty lengthy drive
21:04
from here to Baltimore in a car okay
21:08
that clock says
21:10
504 in fact if the frontier did not work
21:13
out that way and I had to wait till way
21:15
later for the American Airlines I
21:16
probably would have just done the rental
21:18
car thing and got there around the same
21:20
time with no chance of a delay but the
21:22
frontier thing is going to is going to
21:25
work out putting in the universe the
21:26
frontier thing is going to work work out
21:28
look at this look that's pretty neat
21:30
look at
21:34
always
21:34
exciting flying
21:37
places yeah me and layovers we're just
21:39
not having the best of luck we are not
21:42
having the best of luck
21:44
lately I think layovers are really the
21:47
uh the major
21:48
issue it's the B Gates I got to find a
21:51
and I'm also glad as I took care of this
21:52
wall we're waiting to pull up we were on
21:54
the tarmac waiting to pull up to the
21:57
gate because we got off there was the
21:59
line at the American Airlines help desk
22:03
was very very very lengthy so if it goes
22:06
well two different airlines are going to
22:08
get me to my
22:09
destination check out some of the uh the
22:12
landmarks here in Charlotte right over
22:14
here kind of shown right there at this
22:16
little gift shop pretty
22:18
cool for some reason I I know I've been
22:20
to the Charlotte Airport before but I
22:22
just recall it being not as massive as
22:25
it is I was thinking it was going to be
22:26
more of a a smaller airport in fact it
22:31
is pretty good
22:33
size to be
22:36
honest all right over into the a 24- 29
22:41
section I looking for a26 I believe I
22:45
think it's
22:46
a26 evidently Charlotte North Carolina
22:49
is vacation
23:03
hope for White Water Adventure famous
23:03
barbecue named for a queen all right it
23:07
appears as if I am good to go over at
23:10
gate number 26
23:13
a26 I will be getting on the plane it's
23:16
a little bit delayed slightly delayed
23:19
but it is going to happen evidently
23:20
there's some bad weather so there's
23:22
quite a few flight companies that are
23:26
not happening I guess American was one
23:28
of them but I asked is this one
23:30
definitely going to go they said yes I
23:32
ended up doing something called a
23:34
package deal which is includes the bags
23:38
because I know with some of the value
23:40
Airlines like spirit and with Frontier
23:44
you got you have to pay for the baggage
23:46
so I went ahead and did like the package
23:47
deal so my bag is included on that as
23:50
well so I'll
23:52
have I'll have my bag I'll have my my
23:56
backpack will also be in included and it
23:59
looks like I'm going to be getting to
24:01
Baltimore this evening instead of and I
24:04
again I'm not going to to change or
24:08
remove my American Airlines flight until
24:10
I'm on that flight on Frontier land
24:13
heading in just in case that one doesn't
24:16
work out then I have I have the backup
24:19
with American Airlines going to DC and
24:22
then I would just have to take an Uber
24:23
all the way
24:24
up much easier just to go into Baltimore
24:27
as originally planned but
24:29
and what are you going to do it's just
24:31
uh got to roll with the punches got to
24:33
hold on
24:44
confidence probably won't have coffee on
24:44
the Frontier flight so I probably should
24:47
get my second cup
24:48
somewhere yeah I think that's my flight
24:51
you going to Baltimore I am yeah yeah
24:53
they missed the gate they have to back
24:54
them
24:59
in I mean it was already late now it's
24:59
going to be more
25:06
late it's not that late though no
25:06
yesterday it was 3 hours L yesterday my
25:09
flight on American Airlines I had a lay
25:11
over here to Baltimore completely
25:13
canceled I landed turn my phone on
25:14
airplane mode and I had to rebook this
25:17
one was only 50 bucks right yeah with
25:21
the bags a little bit more but still not
25:22
bad all right we were incorrect that's
25:24
definitely not our that was not our
25:26
plane here's our plane here's the front
25:30
here going to
25:47
Baltimore have you FL Frontier before
25:47
it's been a long time since I done front
25:49
Frontier or
25:50
spirit I mean they're H Orlando
25:54
right either Sanford I think Sanford
25:57
spirit stford is Alle Allegient
26:33
your and out of
26:33
theis that might try to find a Starbucks
26:36
or Dunkin and weren't any over near
26:37
where that particular area is but they
26:39
have it at Jamba Juice has coffee so may
26:42
me a
26:43
fresh pip hot caffeinated beverage it's
26:46
not morning it's definitely like later
26:47
in the the evening now so this seat was
26:51
$124 they have $50 ones as well but $124
26:56
ticket that I purchased
27:02
includes two carryon bags so includes my
27:02
backpack
27:04
and
27:12
myug seats are kind of tiny on these so
27:12
what they do is the front of the plane
27:14
for that
27:15
$124 they block off the second seat
27:18
thank you so much for your cooperation
27:20
and welcome
27:29
AB so it's almost like you're purchasing
27:29
two seats plus bags for
27:32
124 and I don't have to wait like four
27:35
more hours to try to hopefully get on
27:37
the American Airlines flight that
27:39
wouldn't even be going to the city that
27:41
I need to go
27:57
to also that Southwest flight there is
27:57
also going to Baltimore so I don't not
27:59
sure why American Air stopped there but
28:57
allal smart I do apologize are running a
28:57
few minutes behind the schedule here
29:00
there's uh some thunderstorms up in
29:03
Baltimore where we just came from that
29:05
uh delayed us getting out of there uh
29:08
good news is we have a real short flight
29:10

successfully
37:51
landed 8:35 I check my phone

and I'm happy to say that worked out I
38:00
need to check and see and also figure
38:03
out what I'm going to do with the flight
38:04
it probably hasn't even taken off
38:07
yet from American Airlines the one that
38:10
which so I got to figure all that out
38:11
too but made all right in order to order
38:15
ride share vehicle you got to go to the
38:16
Upper
38:17
Floor all right up on the top level

38:56
Nightfall it worked

have ended
39:03
poorly thankfully Frontier Airlines
39:07
pulled through and there was a flight
39:09
available that I was able to purchase
39:11
