Transportation, Vacation and Holidays: Bye bye!

Bye bye!

By Tickettoride - 04/05/2013 10:24 - Austria - Vienna

Today, my boyfriend and I stressed out preparing for our one week holiday. We packed for the whole day, said goodbye to everyone and arrived at the airport quite exhausted after a 45-minute train ride. Turns out our flight isn't until tomorrow. The check-in lady couldn't stop laughing. FML

Today, I waited patiently in the airport as my flight was repeatedly delayed. After 5 long hours I approached one of the attendees to discover that the plane had left 5 minutes ago. FML

Today, I went to the airport to pick up my long-distance boyfriend. Having waited six months for this, I was stoked. After waiting for three hours and sending numerous messages, I was eventually informed I was a week early. FML

Enjoy yourself, I guess

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML

Today, I arrived at the airport two and a half hours early because I was expecting it to be busy. The line was long but I had plenty of time, until a woman complained about a fee for checked bags. I was next in line, and still managed to miss my flight because the woman caused such a big scene. FML

Today, I was the only passenger on a completely booked flight to have all their luggage left behind in another country. FML

Today, my fiancée and I were going on our honeymoon. Our flight was delayed by two hours. It landed when our connecting flight to St. Lucia was taking off. The airline said they were holding the flight for us, so we sprinted from D gate to A, in time to watch the plane pull away. FML

Delayed

By melyeah - 02/03/2013 14:14 - Australia - Sydney

Today, to avoid a massive delay on our scheduled flight at the airport, we were generously moved to an earlier flight home. An hour later, our new flight had been cancelled and they told us we'd be stuck at the airport overnight. Our original flight took off fine. FML

Road trip

Today, we drove six hours to get to our holiday cottage only to realise that my girlfriend had forgotten her suitcase. This put her in a bad mood, so she made ME drive six hours back to her flat to get it, then when I got there, I realised HER keys to HER FLAT were still in HER handbag six hours back at the cottage.

Today, I woke up excited for my trip to Jamaica with my friends. We went to the airport, and I gave them my passport to check in. They gave it back. It had expired three weeks ago. I watched my friends board the plane while I'm stuck in the city. FML

Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML

I never understood people who stress about going on holiday. For ****'s sake, just throw some shit in a bag, get on the plane, and enjoy yourselves!

My brother did the same thing on his trip to Thailand several years back. We had to go back to the airport the next day to drop him off "again". Haha

If you were planning a vacation, wouldn't you know the date of departure and be counting down to it?? I would be! You and your boyfriend are dumbasses!

Get a hotel room close to the airport, that would save you three 45 minutes train ride, and the embarrassment of telling this story to everybody :-)

I'm pretty sure a train ride home and a train ride back to the airport is only two train rides.

They had already taken one 45 train ride to the airport. So the initial trip, the one back home, and the one back to the airport would make 3.

"save you three train rides" is the quote. Three train rides from the airport ends up back at home.

So you stressed out about everything except checking the time/date of your flight? Arguably the most important thing to keep in mind before you leave!
