Not only do they let you check two bags for free, but (I have learned!) you can also catch the NEXT flight for free (on standby) at no charge. So, basically, if you start getting choosy and you'd rather not catch the very next flight, then you have to pay. You don't have to buy a whole new ticket - you just have to pay the difference between what you've already paid (probably a discount fare) and the full possible price of the seat. But if you "don't mind" showing up for standby for the next flight (at 4:30 am in our case), then you don't pay anything extra.<br /><br />Seeing as how the whole thing was entirely 100% our fault, I was super impressed with how gracious they were!Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-53630612283564375632013-06-05T10:02:03.341-07:002013-06-05T10:02:03.341-07:00I've heard great things about Vedge in Philly,...I've heard great things about Vedge in Philly, I hope I get a chance to try it out someday. I loved all the places we ate out in Portland, and then I keep reading about all sorts of other places on other blogs. Portland!!?? Why do they have it all? :)<br /><br />Yes. We actually did. It was completely ridiculous. Apparently they even paged us twice, but we missed the first one entirely. (the second page had me running the length of the airport at top speed - only to arrive at the gate two minutes late) ha!!Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-40778202701341830832013-06-05T10:00:02.452-07:002013-06-05T10:00:02.452-07:00That is so cool that your mom went with you.

We also came close to missing our flight on the way TO VVC which would have been really sad because we were already rolling in late.It is strange how once the door is closed it's like the point of no return.

I think Vita Cafe, Canteen and Departure should be on my list for my next Portland excursion. Departure sounds a lot like Vedge in Philadelphia, and if you ever find yourself in Philly, I recommend eating there. <br /><br />So, you actually missed your flight because you dawdled at Starbuck's? Impressive. ;)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-1405766757138518332013-06-05T09:35:27.968-07:002013-06-05T09:35:27.968-07:00I love this!
