Scandinavian Airlines & United Airlines Flying In The Right Direction

by Jennifer Fair

I haven’t always had the best luck with airline travel. I’ve had airlines go bankrupt and then my rescheduled connecting flights leave before I even arrive at that destination. Sometimes my luggage gets lost and shows up on the day I go home. And other times my flights get canceled for no reasons that are ever explained to me. So when I booked my plane ticket to Europe about a month ago and discovered that I would have to take both United Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines, I was a little concerned.

Athletes who have trained for the past four years, or much longer, put it all on the line for one chance at gold, for their country and for themselves.
