Nearly Denied Boarding on TACA…and this wasn’t an oversell situation

Matthew Klint Posted onApril 20, 2010 5 Comments

I guess it was a bad idea to identify myself as a blogger and start taking pictures onboard my TACA flight from San Salvador to Washington Dulles earlier this evening.

The way the purser ran into the cockpit to "rat me out" to the Captain was disconcerting. Maybe it was the fact that I haven’t shaved in a week?

I made back to the States, but not before a good scolding for violating "security policy" by taking pictures onboard. I wonder if the UA and TACA pursers went to the same training school? You know, the one where you get to make up your own rules…

Full report with pictures later in the week. Overall, I was pleased with TACA.

    @Sean: Finals exams next week and the week after, but I’ll get to it as soon as I can. The pictures are already uploaded on the server!
