alexpgpGetting here was half the fun, but I got here.
United/Mesa were their usual selves getting me out of Durango. The plane was supposed to leave at 3:00 pm but arrived only at 3:10. It left at 3:45. When you consider it takes one hour to fly to Denver, that left a mere 20 minutes for me to get to the Lufthansa gate in Denver.
Upon arrival, it turns out the departing United puddle-jumper hasn´t cleared our gate. Yummy. Another 10 minutes shot.
By the time I deplane, I have 7 minutes to get to my departure gate, which naturally is in another concourse. When I get to the concourse, I run up to the display of departing flights, only to find no mention of Lufthansa or Frankfurt.
Then I hear the announcement, "Final call for Lufthansa flight 446, for Frankfurt. All passengers should proceed..." etc. No gate is mentioned. I end up wandering concourse A and literally shoutig "Lufthansa!" I find the gate before attracting unwelcome attention.
Pardon the errors, but this is being typed at one of those finger-punishing public terminals in the B concourse in Frankfurt. More later.
Cheers...
