AA 1248 - ORD to PHL, June 16

The only reason it is positive is because the service up front was great, and the pilot did a pretty job with communication.

This flight was to depart at 6:20 am, we left at about 8:20. Something was wrong with the landing gear, they tried to fix it, and we ended switching planes all together. Best thing was the pilot kept us up-to-date and said he hoped we switched planes before we did.....he was honest. That was all i could ask for.

Plane was mostly empty, and needless to say I missed my first appointment by 1/2 hour.

Cab to downtown Philly is 28.50 -- on the high side for sure, but they all accept credit cards which is great - they default to 20% tip so I am sure cabbies love that.

Time to fly SWA here.
