Transportation: Today, I was stuck at the airport overnight waiting for my flight...

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

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'm stuck at the airport overnight, because my phone didn't update its time zone after flying in, so I watched my train leave, thinking mine wasn't due for another hour. 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

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

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, when I arrived at the airport for my international flight there was no record of my ticket in the system. Turns out the flight was yesterday. 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, I was at the airport getting ready to go to Hawaii. The guy at the counter said my flight was delayed. It turns out that the flight that was delayed was a flight going to Miami. My flight left at the regular time, and my luggage was on it, because I checked in the night before. 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

Shouldn't checking the departure board be the first thing you did. Unless it switched on you, you deserved it. Also, although I haven't been to the airport for a while, I thought they announced flight updates regularly.

I don't want to get moderated so i have to be careful here but I really don't understand how this happened. I mean they post the departure time and gate of your flight hours before the flight leaves. So, why would you be anywhere other than the gate? If you were at the gate then I really can't say what I'm thinking.

Once, when I was traveling through Thailand, my flight got in at about 11:30 at night. My flight was supposed to be for nine the next morning, but because I went through the gate before midnight rolled around, I was told my flight wasn't for another 33 hours, instead of just 9 hours. Once midnight rolled around, the time thing was cleared up, but only just in time for me to catch my flight... I had though, 33 hours, I'll catch some sleep, screw it. NOT THE CASE. Language barriers and airports are a fun combination.
