DELTA DELTA DELTA!!!

On this weekend, I had 3 day holidays.
So I was supposed to go to Mexico with my friends.
この週末は3連休。
なので友達とメキシコに行く予定でしたー。

I joined after my friends booked their flight, therefore I booked my flight separately.
友達が飛行機の予約を取った後から乗っかったので、自分のチケットは別々に取ったんだよね。

THAT WAS A MISTAKE.
これがすべての間違い。

The original flight was supposed to leave at 8:05.
I didn't sleep at all the previous night so that I wouldn't be late.
(To be honest, I went to a party...)
元々の便は朝8:05。
遅れないように前の晩は寝ずに向かったよ。
(ぶっちゃけパーティーに行ってたんだけど。。。)

Anyways, I was in time at the JFK and waited to assign my seat at the gate.
Since I worried about my seat, I asked the Delta guy if it's ok several times.
As you know, he always said, "I'm working on it."
まあともかく、JFKには間に合って、ゲートで席を割り当てられるのを待ってた訳だ。
自分の席が心配だったからデルタの人に大丈夫か何回か聞いたけど、まあお察しの通り彼らは「今やってるよ」としか言わないわけ。

"OK, I'm gonna wait."
I waited till the plane left.
「わかった、じゃあ待つよ」
って言って飛行機が離陸するまで待ってたわけ。

...till the plane left!?
飛行機が離陸するまで！？

Yes!!
My anxiety came true.
Delta overbooked seats and they couldn't manage them!
There were 14 people left at the gate and they complain about what was happening one by one.
そうなの、まさかの不安的中！
デルタは席の予約を取りすぎて、足りなくなっちゃったみたい。
ゲートに残されたのは14人で、みんな口々にクレームつけてた。

Some of them were almost like "HOME ALONE", because they were two families.
Half of them were on tha plane and the other half were left at the gate.
The lady in the family pissed off and called the police!
Another lady was forced to go to another gate several times due to the fact that there were no one at the another gate.
中には2家族の集まりで、まじで「ホームアローン」みたいな人たちもいたよ。
家族の半分が飛行機に乗ってて、残りの半分はゲートに残されちゃったんだって！
その家族の女の人はブチ切れて警察呼んじゃったしね！
他の女の人は人がいないにも関わらず違うゲートを何回も行き来させられてた。

For me, I was too sleepy to complain, rather I didn't have an enough vocabulary to express full of my anger, so I just stood right aside of the counter and waited for being taken care of.
Honestly, I was about to kill them!!
俺はと言うと、クレームつけるには眠すぎて、もとい怒りを表現しきれるほどのボキャブラリーがないのでカウンターの真隣りに立って順番を待ってたよ。
でもぶっちゃけ、殺してやろーかと思ったけどね！！

Luckily I could get alternative flight to Mexico. (after 2 hours waiting)
Furthermore, Delta refunded $1,300, which was more than my flight fee!!!
Also they gave me a meal voucher, so I finally could reach out a breakfast with waiting for a 2-hours-later flight. <-now I'm here;)
ラッキーなことに代わりの飛行機があったからメキシコには行ける。(2時間待った後に)
さらにデルタは1,300ドル返金してくれた！
しかもこれって自分の払った金額よりも多い！
後は食事クーポンもくれたから2時間後のフライトを待ちながらやっと朝ごはんにありついたとこ。←イマココ。

All in all, everything seems to result in a good way.
However I don't know so far since it is said that Mexico city is one of the most dangerous place.
May I can come back to NYC nice and safe.
最終的には万事うまいこといきそう。
でもまだわかんないよね、なにせメキシコシティは超危ないとこって言われてるし。
無事にNYCに帰ってこれますよーに！
