Kevin Smith's Virgin Atlantic Travel Woes

He hasn?t had much luck with airlines in the past year, and Kevin Smith had yet another issue when he and his wife recently tried to catch a Virgin America flight.

The Silent Bob star blogged on Monday, ?Boarding started at 11:15, and we arrived at the gate at 11:35 ? a full 10 minutes before scheduled departure. But as we reached the gate, we saw a man closing the door ... We told him we were on the flight and he told us it was too late; the flight was closed. It was 11:36."

Despite having first class seats and a concierge service, the gate official reportedly told Smith and his party that there was nothing he could do ? nor could he take their bags, which included medication Smith's wife needed, off the flight.

Continuing on, Smith wrote, "They didn?t even TRY to call someone about getting the bags off. And still, the plane sat right there at the jetway still attached. Our bags could've EASILY been removed in the time that the jet remained parked at the gate (or we could?ve been permitted to board)."
