TBIT

We had to change planes at LAX.
There were 3 hours until our next flight.
Right after we landed at LAX, we checked the ‘Departure Time Board’ to see which gate to go to.
The gate was ‘TBIT’.
‘What is TBIT?’ ‘There are still words I don’t know.’
There were still 3 hours till our next flight, so they should have shown us the gate within one hour.
So I relaxed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and started reading a book.
We checked the board once in a while, but it still said ‘TBIT’
Almost one hour had passed, then we started doubting ourselves.
I asked a man who looked like an American.
‘Could you tell me what TBIT stands for?’
He said, ‘I don’t know.’
At first I thought he was joking, but he was serious. He said he was wondering that too.
We were on the same flight.
We figured out ‘TBIT’ stood for ‘Tom Bradley International Terminal’
That meant we had to take a bus to get to that terminal.
The American man was nice and funny.
We talked a lot while we were figuring out the complicated way to ‘TBIT’.
Thanks to him, I didn’t get stressed out.
We found ‘TBIT’ and got to the gate in time.
Somehow, I don’t know why but we got upgraded seats.
On the way home, I slept so well in the nice seat.
