I was getting back into the swing of things really slowly and missed the blog a day yesterday. Sorry about that.
Monday, Lauri and I volunteered to get bumped from our flight out of Oakland and opted instead to fly out of San Jose. In exchange, we got some great incentives from the airline and have most of our next vacation paid for. How sweet it is.
It wasn't an easy decision however as we were in possession of our three year old nephew. We were scheduled to fly out of Oakland and land by 7pm in Portland. Plenty of time to make it home, have a cold one, and head to bed. The flight was oversold by six though and they were willing to make it worth our while to stay later. We took the bait.
They shuttled us from Oakland to San Jose airport where we played with Landon (the three year old) for a couple of hours. We had dinner at the terminal and he started to get groggy! Perfect! We made it back to town by 11 that night after Landon slept the whole flight.
Thanks Southwest for the great service and free stuff! I have to ask though: what's been your most frusterating or best experience flying?

I like Southwest too. They are cheaper than some and better than others... My favorite flying experience was when I flew to Australia. I got to watch like three different movies, play hangman and tetris on my screen, got a goodie bag full of fun stuff like earphones, granola bar & toothbrush and paste from the airline (Quantis, I believe it was) and got to sit next to schoolmates I didn't know that well, but got to know fairly well on the trip and really enjoyed forcing one of them, Paul Headley, to play Rummy with me until one of us reached 1,000 points!
When we made our first trip to Albuquerque, Jess's former roommate Jen had her purse stolen at PDX. That really made the trip a drag, because we had to cancel out her bank accounts and credit cards from a foreign town that didn't know the true distance of "a couple of blocks up." In Albuquerque, a "couple of blocks" is over a mile away. Blocks are very large here.
Best experience? Flying Southwest because they won't charge us for bags or window seats.
