Airplanes, Airport, Delay and Transportation: Run run run

Run run run

By mad flyer - 21/02/2010 05:47 - France

Today, after my first flight landed late, I burned out my lungs sprinting full speed for 10 minutes to catch my next flight. The gate number on my ticket was wrong. It had been changed to one right next to where I had originally pulled up to. FML

Today, after my flight arrived late, I ran 60 gates to get my connecting flight. I sprinted up to the gate agent, completely out of breath, and he looked at me, shut the door, and said, “The door is shut. You’re too late.” FML

Today, my flight was at the other side of the airport. I ran to the gate, to find that the flight had moved to the other side of the airport. So I ran again to miss my plane by a minute. However I did get a new flight... at the other end of the airport. 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

Late late flight

By Anonymous - 08/04/2023 06:00

Today, I was waiting at the airport for a flight when I looked down and realised that I had booked the wrong date. Frantically, I tried to rebook the flight, but it was completely sold out. Now, I'm stuck in the airport for the next 24 hours with nothing to do. FML

Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. 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

Wait and see

Today, I was on a flight home. I wasn't going to arrive until midnight, so I was offered an earlier flight that got back at ten. I got to baggage claims and it turned out they lost my bag. I sat there for 2 hours. The people on my original flight left for home before I did. FML

Today, I was stuck at the airport overnight waiting for my flight for about 5 hours. I then went and looked at the departures board. It said that my flight had already departed. 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

Today, at the airport, a lady bitched me out for changing her departure gate. She called me incompetent and accused me of "messing with people's lives" by "making them walk." I didn't change the gate, and the other gate was less than 10 feet away. FML

Damn. FYL. Wouldn't they have done that over the speaker on the plane? And didn't you check the departures board? Anyway, unlucky. Did you make the flight? OMHLYKFIRSTZ?! No, just kidding.

They almost always announce it on the plane, especially when they are running late. Or, you could have asked the flight attendant, or someone at the gate when you got out. NEVER trust the gate numbers on your tickets. NEVER!

Oh no, you had to get some exercise. That clearly makes your life ****** beyond repair. I'm really surprised an American didn't right this.

#23: And how the **** do you know that the OP wasn't on a business trip and ended up late for an extremely important meeting?

Sunday 21 February 2010 22:27

maybe because he would have mentioned it if he had actually missed the flight

So that automatically means it WASN'T a business trip? I can use your logic to explain that it was anything but.

freaken commenting system- That doesn't automatically mean it wasn't a business trip. I can use that logic to say that a business trip was the only possible explaination.

Write, and I don't think the FML is because he got exercise. I think it's because he was late and that made him even LATER, also because he was so close originally he just wasted time. Needless to say, he was probably exhausted and he might've missed the flight.
