This information might not come as a shock to many of you, but I must share today’s experience with you . We were booked on a direct flight from Portland to Sarasota, scheduled to leave at 1:15, arriving at 4:15. Yesterday we received a text that it would leave at 2:30 instead. No big deal. We had friends who were willing to take us so we decided on a time and off we went. But wait! Another text: delayed until 4. We did not want to ruin our friends’ day so we sat at the airport for 4 hours. Apparently, this stuff happens with Elite all the time. I don’t know how they manage to stay in business! Fare ain’t cheap either....$650 one way for two of us. They make Southwest shine. My point is....it’s not an efficient airline. End of rant.
