The Midland/Odessa International Airport- really? International? Yes, it is. I asked-is there a flight to Mexico from here or something? It took me approximately 5 minutes to print my boarding pass, give my bag to the TSA lady (who was reading a magazine), and go through security! Yes, there is more than one gate-there are five! Last week as I was checking in, I heard this announcement, "Will the person who left their belt at security return to security and get it? It's brown-look down, if you are missing your belt, we have it here at security."
This was also the airport though who gave such an overwhelming welcome to a soldier who was returning home. I have never in my life met so many nice people in this area of the country. People who didn't even know this guy were standing there with flags and applauding him as he walked through a sea of flags! It made my heart so happy knowing that people somewhere take the time to recognize these people who are serving our country.
Great flight on the small plane to DFW. As I was waiting for my next flight, I had lunch at Cousins BBQ. It was not bad-I had the ribs. The sauce was only okay though. I will be spending so much time at DFW in the next few weeks, that I figured I could try a different restaurant each time.
I think I might look like a frequent flyer too. I had a lady ask me where the screens were to see her departing gate-funny how I knew right where they were. Another lady asked me for directions. I guess there is an advantage to traveling a lot-I don't usually get lost in the airports!
American Airlines is great! So far, I have been so happy with the flights and the service. The people are definitely a lot nicer than the Delta people. We landed in Detroit and an announcement was made on the PA that we were traveling with the team from Tyler,TX who made it to the Little League World Series. I like how they take the time to point out things like that. The whole airplane applauded for them too!
