Screw You, America West

March 7, 2005 | General, Rants and Raves | By: Mark VandeWettering

Well, it’s one o’clock in the morning on Monday. If everything was right with the world, I probably would be at the Oakland Airport awaiting the arrival of my wife and son on their scheduled America West flight. After all, I checked the flight information before I left for the airport, and all seemed well. But what apparently they didn’t bother to update was the fact that my wife and son were held onboard the plane in Las Vegas for over an hour so that they missed their connecting flight.

For no fucking reason at all, other than their own blatant incompetence in scheduling gates for arrivals.

So, my wife and son get to have about four hours of sleep in a hotel in Las Vegas before boarding another flight (via Southwest) to arrive at 8:30 9:05 in the morning.

Screw you, America West.

Anybody else have problems with America West? Pile them on! Let’s start a new meme for this craptacularly bad service.

Update: Wife and son are safely back home. It was nice to see them both.

Oh, and screw you America West.

The worst airline ever. I refuse to fly them. I’ve hand only bad experiences with them flying in and out of Las Vegas. I think their only reason for existance is to have a place in the airport to install slot machines.
