Wife's plane landed on Houston. Opened up the door to the jetway and the emergency slide deployed into the jetway, jammed the door, and they can't reach the mechanism to deflate it.

They had to bring a set of stairs to the rear of the pane to deboard. Then they had busses to take them to different terminals. Took an hour once they landed to get off.

Sounds like somebody forgot to "disarm doors and cross check".

United

Who else would it be?

Just when I think they can't make me miss Continental any more they prove me wrong again.

Went through C early this morning, zero issues. TSA was open and fast.

Checked bags at E (Aeromexico employees don't get there till 8:00 though….) then had to go back to D.

The email we got from Aeromexico yesterday said D was fully open…

Oh well should have listened to yall.

The ticket agents are only there for a limited time, because unlike United, some may only have one or 2 flights a day. That is why D can have lines out the door because people show up 6 hours early with 15 bags wrapped in plastic.

Looks like D TSA opens at noon right now.

Had to go to C to check a wild animal. Took 25 minutes in 1k check in, about 10 minutes in TSA pre check.

Arrived at C 7:45. In C north United Club at 8:30. Hard to believe people pay $60 to get their kids into this space for, at most, a couple of hours. 2 families in front of us paid for 1 and 3 kids.

Terminal A just now. Clear + Pre Check no wait. Pre Check and Standard guessing 10-15 minutes.

The club crowding is getting dumb. Even after United implemented new rules. Maybe when B opens back up it will help, but that just means they will probably close c33 for a total remodel, and everything stays as crowded

Yeah, if you're a parent and pay $60 per head for an hour or so of that "experience", it's certainly dumb.

I had a colleague who said "people spend stupid at the airport". This is certainly a prime example.
