… did i ever wrote about how i love my dad’s driving on the snow… well my daddy was amazing.. have you ever seen the movie “Driver”… eh, not real pros… So driving at the bound of wheels grip on the snowy ground we hit the road targetting the British Check-In at Linate airport… usually the distance is 1h with no traffic and normal ground… we got snow and the beginning of morning traffic in highway Tangenziale Est (for the one who know what it is the name sounds scary!)…
Well we finally get to Linate (i made him miss the exit, but that’s just to had suspence) in probably 40 minutes… seconds from the end of the Check-In i get there… check-in (last person before they closed!!)… WOW!!! i made it!!! So let’s run to the gate… security-friendly dressing and skilled traveler techniques made my way very fast… And comfortably sit in the airplane…
Captain inform us that we will be delayed because of the snow of 5 minutes… 15 minutes… 45 minutes… 1h.. 1:30… 1:45… 2h… Everyone is going crazy, tons of connections flight lost… I look like a Buddah… from now on, British is going to take care of my life… i don’t mind sleeping in london even 2 days… 🙂
I get to London about 1:40 after my connection (nice!)… run to the desk… they tell me i can make it on the next flight, if i run!! Well i’m a pro in airport running… i take the chance… run like hell through the airport… and get to the gate…
They call my name… now what? nothing double checking… call my name again.. nothing triple checking… Boarding… I ask the lady about my Luggage… she answer after checking on the terminal “nice and easy sir, your baggage flies with you…”… Doubtfully I thank the lady… But surprise surprise i get selected for the random security inspection!!! YAHOOO!!!! and…. (to be continued)
