This October I am to be one of the bride’s maids in my friend Shawnie’s wedding. She lives in California, and as the event will be during the school quarter for me, I need to have travel plans that will interfere with my school schedule as little as possible while still ensuring that I am present (and, preferably, awake) for the wedding. It is also likely that there will be a rehearsal dinner or some such the night previous that I will also need to attend.
I won’t know my class schedule for October until a few weeks from now, but the longer one waits to purchase airplane tickets, the thinner the pickings become. I decided today that I had waited long enough and should bite the bullet in terms of finding flights, figuring that I usually take classes on a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, so a flight leaving Thursday night would get me into SFO in time for whatever I needed to do on Friday with a full day until the wedding, which is on a Saturday.
I began searching for flights departing on Thursday night before the wedding.
Not only do there seem to be hardly ANY, and those that ARE evening flights are almost never scheduled to leave LATER than 7pm (I get out of classes around 9:30), but almost every travel site and airline I have searched has presented me, despite me specifying required departure time, with a plethora of flights leaving at all times of day, specifically in the morning.
Why do they even bother to let me choose when I want to leave if they are just going to dump every flight they have leaving that week into my browser either way?
*sigh*
*frustration*
