24th May and Airplanes – Part 2

So that was done. I got up from where I was sitting that evening around 8pm and went towards the security check booth. All was good and the only thing driving me crazy was my camera on the conveyor belt at the checking counter. A very paranoid I kept looking towards the X-ray machine while my camera was  on the conveyor belt. As soon as the woman at the booth was done frisking me, I ran towards my camera and took it with me.

All this while, I had been sitting and writing some kind of script that seemed to start forming in my head. So I thought I’d sit down and finish that. I found a place right in front of a display board at the waiting lounge of the airport. At around 8.15pm, there was an announcement that an Indigo flight was delayed to 10.30pm. I checked the display board to verify what I’d heard and heaved a sigh of relief when I saw that my flight was on time.

At around quarter to nine, I went to the gate and asked when the boarding for the flight was to happen and I was told that the flight is delayed to 10.30! I could’ve whacked somebody then and there. The poor flight attendant really got yelled at by me and a lot of other passengers when the boarding finally started. As if this delay wasn’t bad enough, when I entered the aircraft I heard the air hostess telling somebody that we’re not going to take off before 11pm because there was no captain.

Oh! How I just wanted to burn the entire Indigo staff alive and roast them to a crisp! The fools don’t serve food on the flight either, apart from their overpriced pieces of shit that the supposedly pretty air hostesses take around on a trolley. The flight finally took off at 11.30pm without any apologies or any food compensation.

What a terrible day! I don’t know if it was the day that was terrible or Indigo itself. One thing’s for sure, they didn’t make my experience even the teeniest bit better…
