BUT my all time favorite…
I was booked on a Taca (affectionately called Take A Chance Airline) to fly from Roatan to Miami on a direct, nonstop flight. The plane never came in the night before, so we were put on some puddle jumpers to San Pedro Sula to catch a flight from there. Well we caught a flight, except we went to San Jose, Costa Rica. We laid up there for seven hours and were not allowed to leave the International boarding area (which had no food or drink, they brought us a bottled water and an unheated airline sandwich). Then we loaded back aboard and were told we were going to Managua. While airborne, the pilot came on and asked if anyone was disembarking in Managua. No one indicated such, so he said we would not be landing as the plane was full and no one was getting off. So the flight continued north for Miami - except we needed fuel and would land for that. Where did we land? Roatan, the same place we had left that morning.
you didn't tell that story for naught; I quite enjoyed all of them but especially this one.
