Airport Fiasco

On our way to Spokane, our flight from Phoenix to Denver got delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight to Spokane. After waiting at the airport for 2 1/2 hours and standing in the customer service line for another hour and a half, the airline told us that they would put us on standby for the next morning but most likely wouldn't be able to get us there until Christmas day. Obviously, we were quite disturbed by their response to our situation and when we began getting frustrated with them, they told us to get out of line. After more arguing we realized that we weren't getting anywhere and decided to wait for the standby flight the next morning.

After scouring the airport, we found a little nook behind a pillar and camped out for the next 8 hours. After a few more flight delays, a soda spill on the plane, and almost 24 hours of traveling, we made it to Spokane and were able to start our vacation. Lesson learned...NEVER fly during the holidays.
