This post's title says it all. And it's a lesson I learned a long, long time ago. My days of non-revenue flying are long gone. Sayonara to them. Unfortunately, the stunningly patient and mighty fine SML got schooled in non-revenue standby travel earlier this week. Without going into all the gory details, she found out that running from gate to gate to gate at Chicago's Midway Airport is no picnic. Getting told flight after flight is sold out or looks bad was NOT music to her ear, since only one of her ears works. After the trudge to her third gate, she called me to say how much she preferred flying with me. Well, sure you do and here's why: A) You're confirmed. B) You're usually in First or Business Class. C) You've got club access. D) You have nothing to worry about. I like flying with me too!
Anyway, she returns this weekend on a revenue ticket, so it should be an easier journey home. She's having a great time with her sister and family. It was her sister's birthday and having the stunningly patient and mighty fine SML join the party was a big deal. I'm glad she was able to make this trip. Her relationship with her sister is priceless and a wonderful example to our daughters. My girls would do well to have the relationship that their mom and aunt have.
