I once had a five-hour layover at Newark, so it just goes to show, I guess.

[...] you’re a repeat customer here at Que Sera Sara, you may have read my long, detailed rant about being stuck at LAX for 14 hours. That was the return part of my trip. I was supposed to fly [...]

Thank you, Edidineleh! A fine Warren Wilson hello to YOU, madam. And also, WTF? Asshole security guard?! What a jackass.

I cried at JFK this morning because I was so relieved to be home. It was captured on video and may be foisted upon the world for all to see documentation of my emotional instability.

Oh, god. I’m so sorry. No one should ever have to spend that long in an airport, even with fancy chocolate.

If you’re inclined toward shadenfreude, it may comfort you to know that San Jose Airport is worse. You have to go through security when you go from one terminal to another. Their official motto is “We hate you SO hard.” Also, the guy at security made fun of me because I was crying.

Thanks, Jim! Oh man, I’m so doing that next time. Fantastic idea. And if I get to celeb-watch on a plane, as I did today (two American Idols and a famous loris, a type of primate) then I’m down.

Stephen, you are omnisexual. Go with God!

I may have insane game, but it only kicks in once a year or so…

Which is why I’d trade places with Ces in a heartbeat.

Or, hell, with YOU for that matter. Maybe it’s time to explore my unexplored bi. Seems to work well for you.

I am happy to report that JetBlue offers nonstop flights from Burbank to JFK. I’m sure they carry a certain amount of celebrity traffic.

Stephen, she seriously made out with you on a break? You have got the insanest game. Like remember when you had a fivesome? Yeah, I remember that. Or hearing about it. WHAAAA?! Madness!

And thanks, Josh. Good call. Also I can pronounce “BURRRRBANK” the way Will Ferrell does when he imitates Robert Goulet on “Conan.” (And a giant thanks to you for linking to Ces’s blog, too.)

If your exciting new life is going to involve lots of flights to LA, might I suggest lovely Burbank Airport? You probably can’t get a direct flight there from NYC, but it’s tiny, and thus manageable (esp. if you’re going to show up an hour before your flight leaves), everyone there is pleasant, etc. It’s as close to Hollywood as LAX is (is MTV is Hollywood?) and you can actually take the train there.

AANND you got first-class bumped?

You owe Ember chocolate poured all over her vag and supped up with your lithe italian tongue.

I once got a FC bumpy in the Twin Cities from a gate cutie I was flirting with, and I thanked her profusely as she slyly handed me the ticket, looking around first to make sure she wasn’t caught. I thanked her and asked her out, and she said ‘but you’ll never be back here.’

So I said ‘well, I owe you…wanna make out?’ I was kidding. She took a ten minute break for ‘us.’

I love First Class. First Class = Xanax+Lexapro.

For a short time I had a nice scheme going where I could check in at the computer screen and just click on ‘first class upgrade requested,’ as if I had flyer miles. That would automatically put you on the request list. THEN I wouldn’t immediately answer when they called my name until nearly everyone else had boarded, so there wasn’t enough time when they asked ‘do you have you frequent flyer card+miles certificate?”

“Oh, it’s checked. I thought YOU had my info.”

“No, we…oh, hell, just get on….”

It’s all about bullshit and attitude. But they fixed that glitch, and now I’m back to flirting. Which now only works with older ladies and gay boys. Luckily airline workers are almost exlusively one or the other!

Except for you and your new love Ember.
