Waiting on Concourse B

I wanted to get to the airport early, but not necessarily this early. I get to the counter to check in at 1:45 and the touchscreen says I can't. I ask an agent what's up. She says I missed the check-in window. I say I have two hours. She says my flight left 15 minutes ago. I say my itinerary I printed when I booked the flight says it leaves at 3:23. She says go to Special Services. I go. I ask what's up. She says my flight left at 1:31. I say that's what I get for not checking the departure time except for what I printed off three months ago. She says the next flight leaves at 5:45 and there's room, so I'm now on that one.

We finally lift off at 6:20 and all is good after that. Hope that's the worst that goes wrong. (p.s. the 1:31 flight was delayed and didn't actually leave till 4:00)

Travel Tip #1: always check the departure time of your flight the day before in case they've changed it.
