Current Events > Missed my connecting flight so I'm drinking at the airport

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone else booked my flight and they only gave me about 30 minutes from touch down to my connecting flight taking off. I stupidly left something on the plane and had to go grab it. That plus the time between gates was enough that I barely missed boarding.

I was going to present at the american public health association annual conference and come back tonight. But they couldn't rebook me on a flight that arrived in time. So I literally just hanging out in the Atlanta airport for like 10 hours

It just depends. Id say the average group size is usually in the 40-50 person range but this would have been on the bigger side

I don't mind it. Makes me nervous but it's always worth it after the fact

$10 for a bud light though, that's less fun. Good thing work will pay for it

Yeah buying drinks at an airport is mad expensive. I went to a bar and all together ordered 3 beers before my next flight and it was like 30 bucks.

Airports are really the only place where it's socially acceptable to drink at any hour of the day, so go nuts fam

Find a nice restaurant or something that does a little better quality than bud light. Don't settle for mcdonalds or pf changs or any chain garbage
