Wait wut. If your dad is only an hour away from Atlanta, why in the hell are you catching a connecting flight?
Like I said, the airline is an idiot.
1) If I didn't catch the connecting flight and instead had my dad pick me up in Atlanta, my checked luggage would've gone down to Jacksonville without me.
2) If I didn't catch the connecting flight, the airline would've canceled the rest of my itinerary (including the flight back home). Which means I'd have to get a new ticket/boarding pass/whatever which would've cost too much money
Anyways, I'm in Macon now. Been here a few days.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA
