United 390

This Christmas break has been full of tons of great adventures. I will start with our last: our flight from Tulsa to Denver.

Everything was great, we got to the airport in time, no problems going through security, our flight was on time.
We boarded the plane.
We sat in our seats. I was next to the window and Danny was in the middle. There was a man (named Josh as it turns out) sitting on the aisle seat in our row. He was extremely outgoing and seemed a little odd. I speculated that he was on some kind of drugs. He was really friendly.
It started snowing basically as soon as we boarded the plane... not a commonality for Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Our plane was delayed while the airport crew tried to de-ice the wings.
Then, the pump no the de-icer broke.
Then, they had to wash off the de-icing fluid because it was not compatible with another de ice machine's fluid that they would use.
Then, they de-iced it with another machine.
All in all, it translated to about 3 hours of sitting in a plane not going anywhere.
Meanwhile, the lady in front of us was practicing her opera music at a deafening volume (with her head phones in and sheet music spread out in front of her). Fancy pants sitting next to Danny was commenting as loudly as possible how annoying she was.
Kinda felt like I was in a twilight zone.
Finally, to the delight of all passengers aboard, the plane was ready for take off. All those with connecting flights out of Denver had missed our connecting flights since it was now around 11 pm (which was when we were suppose to arrive in Salt Lake).
After about an hour and a half of flight time, fancy pants next to Danny started acting weirdy. The flight attendant was standing right next to us, handing me a delicious thirst quenching Diet Coke, when fancy pants hastily reached into her ice container, grabbed a handful of ice, and threw it all over his face.
Less than one minute later, he was green faced, frozen, and passed out basically on Danny's shoulder.
He came to pretty quickly, but everyone on the plane was turned staring, flight attendants were running around, people were shouting for doctors or nurses, and me and Danny were just kind of staring with our teeth in our heads.
Luckily, things turned out good for the dude. When we landed, the paramedics helped him off the plane and he seeme alright.

And fortunately, we were the recipients of:
a free night at this mega sweet hotel
$30 for food
$300 towards future air fare.

So, thank you United airlines. For a night of sheer entertainment, free food, free accomodations, and free airfare. Cheers and Happy New Year.
