My healthy lunch, which was nice to nibble on while I waited out the delay This was the view I had while I was eating lunch. I eventually pieced together a healthy lunch from bits and pieces that I found at one of the small shops in the main terminal (land side) and chewed on that for a while sitting on a quiet spot on the floor while my phone and iPad charged in a nearby electrical socket. It’s actually a really nice place to sit and relax for a while, but food options are sparse unless you don’t mind eating junk food.
The exterior of the Bellingham airport is really nice, though it does remind me of a strip mall The interior is nice as well, with the added benefit of looking like a real airport!īut I still had to wait out the delay in the Bellingham airport. I wasn’t in a rush to get home anyway, so this was a perfectly fine option. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before, but it ended up being a fantastic idea – I was only on the phone with them for 5 minutes and they had me confirmed on a slightly later flight down to San Diego (in an exit row seat, no less) that would arrive just a couple hours after my original scheduled itinerary. I was about the 10th person in line at the check in counter before the agent pretty much gave up and told everyone standing in line that things would be much faster (and easier) if they just called Alaska Airlines directly and spoke to a reservations agent. I arrived at BLI a bit early simply due to the fact that I planned on standing in line to talk to an agent to get me rebooked on a later flight to SAN out of SEA. But for the moment I just tried to put it out of my mind and stayed focused on enjoying my day in the Pacific Northwest. So even before I got to the airport I knew that I’d be facing some delays and possibly some trouble trying to get home that evening. Yikes! While I appreciated the heads up (because it gave me more time to explore the Bellingham area), it put a kink in my travel plans because my original itinerary only had an hour layover at SEA before connecting down to San Diego. Four hours before the scheduled departure time for this flight, I received a text from Alaska Airlines informing me that my flight down to Seattle was delayed by just over an hour and a half.
