Reminder to self / warning to others: beware of deceitful marketing tactics, especially from budget airlines. @flyscoot website offered "Extra Cabin Bag" for purchase, which I read literally as an extra cabin bag. What they meant was extra cabin weight to your existing cabin bag.
Long story short, I ended up losing $68, and their customer service was as good as talking to my pet rock. At the final price I paid, I could have flown a regular airline with no hidden agendas and better service.

It was dark. My car made a loud crashing sound. A flat tire? I pulled over to see; I ran over a trash bag. A woman heard and came out to check. She asked if I was ok. I showed her the trash. We moved them aside. She said, "People suck." I responded, "No they don'tโyou came out."
I'm going to Colombia!
Travelers: Eat arepas and drink lots of coffee for me!
Vacationers: Is it safe there? Don't get caught smuggling back cocaine for the cartel. Seriously, be careful.
Everyone else: Okay, have fun.
