The Joys of Air Travel #57

This evening I was supposed to go back to Sacramento but the Mexico City Airport had a power outage and thus all flights were delayed. United delayed and delayed and delayed and then will send the 6:30 flight out 5 hours late.  They then wanted me to wait until 7 PM to get to Sacramento.  That became an opportunity to try to fly Southwest.  These kinds of things are annoying - disclosure, honest disclosure, would have been helpful here.
