Yay for the guy moving, and would you have requested to move if he hadn't been the one to do it? Just curious if you would've tried to endure it or been like, "Nope, this ain't gonna work."
I've got a similar hang-up about Indianapolis airport because of a bad experience there one time. They delayed our flight, then failed to announce that it had arrived and was boarding. As a result half the passengers that had wandered off (self included) had to RUN to the gate at the very last minute, and I had my trombone with me in a soft case because I'd been assured there'd be room in the overheads, but of course at last-minute boarding there wasn't, so I had to remove my coat, wrap my trombone in it, check the case, and basically smuggle my naked trombone onto the plane where I shoved it on top of some luggage for the duration of the flight. Not only did that give me massive anxiety about how it was doing the whole flight, I was also freezing having had to give up my coat for it, and then we flew into a thunderstorm in NJ and had to circle for nearly two hours, not landing until 2am, by which point I was exhausted, cold, and starving, having not eaten for nearly 12 hours (I was very poor at the time and the flight had been all I could afford.)
