Our flight to Utah was scheduled to leave at 6am. We always take the early morning flight because it is nonstop and we can just drag the boys out of bed, go and we don't get there too late to enjoy the day. We always fly out of the same airport and it is NEVER busy, we have flown out of there for Christmas several times and never even stand in line, until today of course...with 3 children in tow and way too many bags we missed our flight. We were still in the checkin line when our flight left. Everybody around us was missing their flight, it was crazy. So they put us on standby for an 8am flight to Phoenix. We were resigned to the fact that it might be a very long day. We made the first flight to Phoenix just great. The trick was going to be getting from there to Salt Lake as there weren't many seats available on the 11am flight. We were on the standby list and praying that we'd get on. But we needed three tickets and we knew it would be tricky. I guess all of our praying paid off because we got on. All in all we ended up being very lucky and only arrived in Salt Lake a few hours later than planned, it could have been much much worse.
How we all felt after a very early morning and long hours on the plane.
