Airplane problems
The airline this time was so bad. In the San Francisco airport they kept us waiting in the plane for an hour and a half. Then they said that something was wrong with a battery and told us we had to leave the plane.After an hour and a half, they decided to give us another plane. Then they said, “All right, we have fixed the battery. In ten minutes we shall start.”
But after ten minutes they said that now one engine was not working. So we had to go out again.
We were practically three hours late in leaving.
