Today, after our flight got cancelled back home, I called the airline to work out a replacement flight. I sat in hold for 2 hours waiting as patiently as I could. Then, the automated voice says, "There are no available agents. Good bye." FML

OP here. yeah i flew into a fit of rage which resulted in angry snow shoveling. I get that the airlines were busy but being hung up on by microsoft Sam was just to much.

Did you break a shovel and a garbage can lid during said snow shoveling?

Everyone that was on that flight is probably trying to call the airline. Drive to the airport and talk to them in person.

When Microsoft Sam reads you bedtime stories, it's awesome. When Microsoft Sam gives you disappointing news, you flip your shit. This is completely normal behaviour.

When I fly I always make sure to have the airline app because you for the most part can usually reschedule your flight right in the app. it'll show a list of alternative flights and you can pick one.

I totally get u OP. hope you got another flight!!

the whole waiting for over an hour to get "no one's available. bye"*click* has happened to me and it is honestly so aggravating lol

Good news is we got a new flight. boarding right now

Wow, I guess the today actually meant today.

I am actually a proponent of removing the "today" portion of the FML, because the vast majority of FMLs don't occur the day of posting.

#50, while it may be true that most FMLs occurred way back in time, "15 years ago my alarm clock broke on the day of my important job interview" sounds way less appealing.

I never knew machines would eventually give up

I'm old school, I want to talk to a human

Total ydi! Who sits on hold for 2hours??? After 20min hangup and try a different option!!!

Why didn't you buy a ticket online and used a printer at the airport?
