Good Morning, Everyone…
✈️ THE UNFRIENDLY SKES OF U-BLIGHTED! ✈️
🎶 YOUR FLIGHT HAS JUST BEEN CANCELED…please don’t be annoyed…All I do is work here and your time is null and void…I’ll get you on ANOTHER FLIGHT that leaves sometime next Spring…Here’s a voucher for some coffee, see we treat you like a king…🎶 …”Your Flight Has Just Been Canceled” – Lenny Solomon (circa 2000) https://tinyurl.com/3pubruk9
✈️ Her nerves wound tight, her voice quite STIFF, she’s had it that’s for sure,
Her AVIARY meeting blown…not much more she’ll endure…
Displeasure off the RADAR, NUANCE has long been gone,
They’ve cancelled her flight…chances are she’ll not get there til dawn
On top of that they’re bleeding her…it’s more than she can bear…
$500 more they want? No…that’s UNFAIR AIRFARE! ✈️
What once was a sort of FLY-by-night occurrence, today it seems we find ourselves LANDING in SITuations like this way too often…
So…Today we find our girl, SKYE CANTBELIEVEIT, the victim of HIGHway robbery. Left stranded when her flight was cancelled, she can’t believe what she’s being offered as a solution. HANGAR-ound for a few hours…and cool her JETS… https://tinyurl.com/2p83d4t9 …plus pay an extra $500 FARE? …For something that wasn’t her fault?…So of course she’s SOAR…It’s so UNFAIR! …It’s a totally UNFAIR AIRFARE…
And as for the check-in agent, AZURE ICANTDOBETTER, busily tapping away at her keyboard, the airline’s logo, a propeller, at her desk, and the CANCELLED sign behind her…Skye’s displeasure seems to have just FLOWN right by her….Granted it’s not her fault, but you’d think she wouldn’t stand there BOEING so blasé…Like it’s so PLANE and simple to sWING an additional $500…IDK…Maybe it’s me, but I just feel two wrongs don’t make a WRIGHT…
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle puts me in mind of a friend of mine who recently found himself in a similar situation…After his flight had been delayed for the second time, he went up to the check-in desk and asked what the chances were that the flight would be cancelled…And without missing a beat the agent answered…”Can’t say for sure, it’s all up in the air right now”..Looks like everyone’s a comedian these days…✈️🙋🏻♀️

🤦🏻♂️The rep from the AVIARY, who always tried to fly under the RADAR, was very displeased by the UNFAIR AIRFARE, and was betrayed by the slight NUANCE in his facial expression as he turned and gave a SNIFF of disproval🤦🏻♂️
🗣️It seemed as if by RADAR, the NUANCE was picked up,
Employees of the AVIARY stopped midstream their sup…
On hearing of the rise in cost, they couldn’t help but SNIFF,
Since the new pricing definitely was thought to be too stiff…
Unhappy with what it would cost to now get the group there…
They voiced displeasure at what they felt was UNFAIR AIRFARE…🗣️
Didn’t have my thinking cap on this morning so nothing materialized for a blind solve. Finished the anagrams with a long pause on NUANCE…then saw all the “AIRS” for the puzzle solve. And you are so right…and it’s not so much the cancellations, as the way we’re treated by customer service agents (so it seems). Anyway, fly safe to that next destination and will check in TGIF !!
Good morning. Had to really put my thinking cap on this morning. Knew the last two words but took time to correctly spell them. The cartoon answer had me stumped for awhile until I finally figured that out. Until tomorrow take care.
Todays jumble totally quenched my thirst for this thirsty-Thursday ! The anagrams were all there ! I had a freeze on the correct spelling of NUANCE , but I got it , with a ‘whew’! The jumble talked about a flight overcharging a customer and the one word that came out was FAIR ! And the word AIR , wasn’t in the jumble sentence ! So I saw UNFAIR and it was about the FARE being wrongfully charged , so it flew right at me with an , I got it ! I was very happy ! I had a nice ice tea on this thirsty-Thursday ! This was a good Thursday jumble ! Angela your jokes are always good ! They always make one smile , and that’s just Plane and simple ! Everyone have a Fair day today !!!!!!!!
Tks, Jim✈️🙋🏻♀️
Now finding the very best fare
Before you go up in the air
Is an incredible feat
Many admitting defeat
And hold up their hands in despair!
You try different times and dates
Sleuthing the very best rates
Cancel for free
Or pay a fat fee?
And just hope the plane is not late!
I have long advocated a mandatory multi-purpose travel jumpsuit. one with dozens of zippered pockets, one each for passport, wallet, medications, water……. so that there are NO bags to check in, NO hand luggage and you get on the plane hands free!! Then of coursed the airlines might start weighing the passengers…..
Helen, I’m laughing 😂 as I picture folks with sagging pockets walking down the aisles to their seats which they probably wont’ be able to fit in.
I like to travel light so I wear as much clothing as possible, rather than pack it. You can shed extra jackets and put them in the overhead bin. What annoys me most is that after all the fuss and stringent rules of weighing bags, then security telling you off for having too large a bottle of shampoo, you can then buy anything you want in the departure lounge area, no limits the number of shopping bags you can take into the cabin!! I recently flew from Edinburgh Airport, UK. Once through security, we then were forced to wend our way via a very circuitous route with shops selling fragrances and staff trying to spray us with free samples on the way. After that, we could have done our entire Christmas shopping before boarding.
I suspect there’s a method to their madness. Keep the $$$ local.
🤦🏻♀️‘Twas a time when to fly was a breeze,
Now it’s more like hurry and wait, please…
Get there real early for,
The delays of du jour…
Flying can bring one down to one’s knees! 🤦🏻♀️
👎🏻 Lest you’re first class you’re surely squeezed in,
Far as leg room? Take it on the chin…
Seats are not like before,
Where were three, now there’s four…
And you sit with others skin to skin! 👎🏻
🤷🏻♀️Comes to pricing? A wing and a prayer,
(And yes, there is a pun snuck in there)!
Searching online to save,
Only to become slave…
To a scene like we have today here…🤷🏻♀️
🤦🏻♀️Poor Skye had a meeting to attend,
Only to have her trip just up end…
Not only a time crunch,
It’ll cost her a bunch…
It’s a lose, lose…you’re late and you’ll spend! 🤦🏻♀️
🤷🏻♀️At the mercy of airlines we live,
Where it’s mostly all take and no give…
But there’s no other choice,
So yes, Skye raises voice…
And there’s no one who wouldn’t forgive…🤷🏻♀️
A clean sweep of the anagrams and even the repeated word cartoon!Have a great day!
Flying high here this morning. Clever puzzle with “fair” and “fare” . Have a good day all!
You’re early! Flying high..👍🏻…And yes, very clever…Wishing you a good day too, Betty……✈️🙋🏻♀️
