Every United flight my family has been on for the past 2+ years has been torture. The only reason we still fly them sometimes is we have enough frequent flyer miles to fly free. Sometimes I wonder if free is worth the time and torture.

My son was flying home from college today. His flight was originally delayed several hours for mechanical problems. First they tried to reschedule Him from Charlotte, NC to LA, CA to Denver, CO. When it was delayed longer they were able to get him on a direct flight from Charlotte to Denver (why in the world did they originally route him to LA?). Everything seemed good, but then they had to land in some other city due to storms. That must have been a terrible storm if they had to land elsewhere. I sure hope we get to see him tonight.
