Chapter 5
The taxi ride through the city had been a long one; everybody seemed to be going home for the holidays and the queues of traffic became longer, the more horns sounded with angry drivers, but at last they were there at JFK and ready to board the flight to Berkley.
After unloading the language onto a trolley, and waiting to cross road they got to the terminal building, and joined the queue for the check in. The queue seemed to takes ages until they got to the front, and were served by an older looking check in lady, who was looking decidedly annoyed by the size of the queue.
Summer put the bags on to the weighing machine, the check in lady still looking annoyed as Seth handed over the tickets and passports to her. After a 3 minute pause whist the check in lady typed some thing into the computer, she said
"Unfortunately the plane is full and we can't you seats next to each other"
"Pardon? I booked seats the together so we could sit next to each other"
"Sorry dear, the plane is full this is the only thing I can do"
Seth looked at Summer and they both agreed and shock their heads
"Okay, hope they are not to far apart" Seth said to the check in lady
"Well the only seats are window seat and a middle seat both at the back of the plane"
"That's fine"
The check in lady gave back the passports back to Seth, who put them in his coat pocket, as the luggage went through the luggage scales, then the check in lady said
"For your bags I'm going to have to charge excessive baggage"
"How much" Summer asked
"$75" the check in lady answered
Summer looked very angrily at Seth, then got out her purse out, and then a credit card
"I will pay on my card" Summer said as she handed over the card, the check in lady took it and swiped it and asked for her pin number, a small receipt came out and was given along with the flight tickets, circled with the gate number.
Going through the security checks was a long time as well, the queues were rarer large and seemed to take longer that usual. Once through the security and both Seth and Summer were sitting in on the chairs at the gate as it was due to be opened that minute.
The gate was opened and a stream of people, queued to their tickets checked, before boarding. Summer was a head in the queue and got her tickets checked, and was waiting on the other side for Seth to come through he was a little further back in the queue.
Once Seth's ticket had been checked they both boarded the plane and found their seats, and sat down they were separated by an aisle, both sitting next to a family with two children. They both greeted them and prepared to spend the plane ride on opposite sides of the plane.
The plane journey had been peaceful apart from the eating of what seemed to be a ham sandwich, which hat be send back as it was not the option asked for and the fact the person in front of them seemed to be sleeping through out the flight and snoring loudly.
Finally what seemed hours they met each other in the plane toilet for the chat and a kiss, and Seth was getting more excited about going to see his little sister he had not seen her since thanksgiving which 2 months ago.
The plane landed a half an hour of their chat, and both of them were relieved to get of the plane and collect their luggage and get a taxi to the Cohen house.
