We tried to take off, really we did.
When flying alone with an infant there a few key points to remember. First, doesn't matter how hungry the baby is do NOT feed 10 minutes before pre-boarding because the inevitable will happen. Yes, poop. Literally. We missed pre-boarding and heard "Paging passenger Crowe, party of 2. Please proceed to Gate 2 for the immediate departure of your aircraft" while sprinting from the bathroom back to the gate. We were the last to board and since Mommy did not have a lot of time to reorganize from the poop explosion walking down the narrow excuse for aisle was not fun. Yes, I know my bags hit every person in the aisle on the right hand side. Sorry!
Finally organized we wait. For what don't know. Wasn't the aircraft suppossed to immediately depart, hmmm. There might be a problem here. Sure enough mechanical failure and not just any mechanical failure the deplane mechanical failure. While standing in line to speak with the ticket agent, Mommy noticed the bags were being deplaned. There was no way, no how this plane was taking off!
After 30 minutes in line we have three options:
1) Transfer planes not once, not twice but THREE times to get to Regina by 8:00 pm. Let me think about the logistics of changing planes that many times... NEXT
2) Take a later flight arriving in Regina at 10:something pm. Umm, it's only 8:00 AM, are you crazy?? NEXT
3) Try again tomorrow and hope Northworst, I amean Northwest, doesn't have mechanical failure. Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner.
We take off the next day with no problems and I rock as a lap baby!
