We finally got here but it wasn't easy. Our 10-1/2 flight from Vienna to Chicago went great. We had a 6 hour layover in Chicago so we tried to get an earlier flight. They had one that we might be able to get on with only a 3 hour wait. (This is United Airlines). Then flights were getting delayed because of weather including ours. In the end, it was pushed back to the time of our original flight. We all finally board the plane. It is packed!! We are taxied and are 5th in line. We are ready to take off and we are going very slow. Nathan and I are both thinking that there is no way we are going to get off the ground at this speed. The captain gets on and says that we need more gas and that we have to go back to the terminal. It will take 10 mins. I stand to grab a jacket because the AC is on full blast and I'm freezing to death. The stewardess gets on and tells me to sit down because the seat belt sign is on. I grab it anyway. We sit for an hour and 15 mins. to get gas. We finally taxi out again and are 5th in line.......again. We finally do take off this time. The seat belt sign stays on. The captain gets on and says that we have turbulence and to say in our seats. It should only be for 10 mins. (What's up with the 10 min. thing anyway. Nothing is 10 minutes with them.) An hour and a half later the seat belt sign finally........goes off. Half the passengers immediately get up and run to the ONE bathroom. The stewardess get on again and tells everyone to sit down and that there can't be a line to the bathroom. No one moves. We finally get in at midnight......an hour and a half LATE!!!!! But we're here.
