Bad Airport Karma
May. 20th, 2004 09:41 amI spent the day at Copenhagen Airport yesterday, the first half at a meeting and the rest hanging around. Because of having so much time on my hands I almost missed the plane, which, being on Easy Jet was a pretty serious potential SNAFU.
I was lounging around having a beer and thinking, "Mmmm, surely my flight leaves soon..." so I looked at the board (no I was not wearing a watch) and discovered that it was 10 minutes to departure and my flight had now closed.
I ran the 1/2 mile to the gate, pushing highly amused people out of the way at the passport barrier (probably taking side bets on when the red faced overweight British businessman was going to have a massive MI) and thundered down the corridor to the gate. "Mr O'Neill!" somebody shouted.
They'd openned another gate entrance for me, pushed me down the ramp, openned the doors and I got onto the plane with seconds to spare. Lots of unhappy people starring at me as I walked to find a spare seat on the rather full 737.
Piss, Fart, Bugger and Bum - as they say.
