Great Beginnings
I left for the DevConnection conference in Vegas this week. I was carrying some Codesmith Tools literature and wasn't able to board my first plane with US Airways. I want to give them a compliment. I basically missed my flight and my "punishment" was to fly first class on a later flight. The ticket agent, I don't recall her name, upped me without even mentioning it. I don't want to get her in trouble or anything, but it was great. I enjoyed first class treatment and was highly impressed with US Airways as an airline.
I was looking at my ticket and it was seat 1D. I figured first class was some other numbering scheme but it wasn't. I was pleasantly surprised when I boarded the plane and was in the first row. There were three of us in first class and I can't speak highly enough of the service I received and the handling of the missed flight treatment. I will definitely be looking at using US Airways first for any future travel plans I have.
On a side note, I had a horrific experience with the TSA that I won't blog about here, but will mention it on my personal blog. In hindsight, I guess I should consider myself lucky I didn't get put in jail for assaulting a Federal Agent, but he touched me first and honestly that Nazi had it coming to him.
