Here are a few photos from my flight on July fourth through the Denver Airport. All photos were taken with my new iPhone 14 max pro.

The final three photos shows what the baggage area looked like when we arrived in SFO and this is only a portion of how the bags were stored. I did not take photos of all the areas.

No didn't miss the flight, as standbys we only get a seat if a seat is available or the flight is not weight restricted. We did get out on the 5:40 pm Flight and that aircraft left with empty seats. All previous flights left full. One of the customer service agents did say that the flights opened up in the afternoon giving us a better chance of getting on a flight.
By the way a purchased ticket does not guarantee a seat on a particular flight. If the flight becomes weight restricted cargo flies pax do not.
All airlines have a contract of carriage that people don't read. My company requires all paying passengers to be in the boarding area 20 minutes before boarding and if not your seat is subject to be given to the next available pax or standby pax. There are two categories of standby Revenue and non-revenue pax. Revenue standbys are someone who missed their previous flight or they are standing by for an earlier flight. In any case non-revenue standbys are the last to get on an usually get the worst seats on the plane.
I know someone is going to ask who my company is; it is United Airlines and I work Maintenance out of San Francisco for the past 35 years.

And people wonder why I don't fly 
My wife sent me an article about a first class passenger who was pulled from the flight from Houston to Amesterdam. They had to divert to ORD because he was disruptive about the meal choices. Law enforcement meet the aircraft and escorted him off the aircraft according to the article.

From my long experience I have come to believe that there is an idiot bourn every minute of every day and at one or another one or more of them find their way on an airplane

Your new iPhone 14 did good. Nice shots of the old planes, and that baggage situation looks to be a mess. Great documentary. Thanks for sharing.

I was going to fly to South Africa this year, and my flight was delayed by two hours. I canceled the trip right then and went home.
I was going to miss my flight out of Newark to South Africa and who know what would have happen them. At 87 I can't take chances and spend hours in some unknown airport.
Flying is not fun.

Air Travel post pandemic such a joy. Not that it ever was a joy but less so now.
I really like the first shot. It feels alive and vibrant to me. It is a good composition, and I think it captures very well the hustle and bustle of a modern airport.
