Today, I went to the airport for my two week trip to explore Europe. My ticket was denied and the workers turned me away. When I asked why, they told me to check the date. My ticket was for June 22nd, not July. FML

Today, after spending 2 years saving for my flights, I was denied boarding due to issues with my passport. I heading straight to the embassy only to be told a replacement will take 8 days. The airline will only hold my place for 7. FML

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 found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. FML

Today, after months of planning and saving for our honeymoon in Italy, my wife and I were turned away at the airport because my passport only has a month until it expires, even though it's only a five-day trip. FML

Today, I went to the airport to start the amazing 3 week vacation in Costa Rica that I've been saving for and planning for more than a year. They wouldn't let me on the plane because my passport expires in less than 6 months. FML

Requirements

By Anonymous - 06/08/2019 06:02

Today, I wasn't allowed to fly. Again. Yesterday my flight was overbooked. Today I didn't have the yellow fever vaccine. Not once was this requirement mentioned. Nobody would believe me. Luckily, it turned out that this requirement did not apply to me. They realised this after the plane left. FML

The devil is in the details

Today, after cancelling work, arguing with my family, scrambling to pack my bags, speeding to the airport and filling in immigration forms to fly out to have a much needed holiday, I wasn't allowed to check in. My passport has less than 6 months away from expiration on it. Yes, that's a thing, apparently. 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

Are you really that stupid? I call fake, how do you **** that up? Either you're extremely rich and a trip to Europe isn't that big of a deal, or you have serious problems.

Congratulations on being a complete idiot, OP. You managed to drop the ball so completely that you probably should never have kids. You'll end up forgetting they're in the backseat while you're shopping at Wal-Mart and come back to some fried retards.

@ #2: #1 was saying they sounded rich cuz they didn't bother checking something important like the date therefore it wasn't a big if they missed it. @ OP: you really should have known what day you were going on if you bought the ticket

This one made me re-check the departure date on my ticket to the states. It's still in august. If i spend €700 on something, I make sure that it's actually the thing i want and, you know, the date i want. YDI

this sounds like something that would happen to me, so in the spirit of not being hyppocritical i gave you a FYL

Would you people stop calling the OP names? Most likely it was the person who printed the ticket who messed up. A similar, but not so bad occurrence happened to me once. My original flight had been canceled, and I needed to get home in time to be able to work on Monday. The canceled flight was the only one to where I was going (small regional airport), but I was able to get a ticket out of another city first thing in the morning. I rented a car, drove 3 hours, and got a hotel. The next morning is when I found out that the ticket had been printed for Monday rather than Sunday. Luckily I was able to get on the Sunday flight as a standby.

No sarahbau, we will not stop calling people names. Do not submit an FML post and expect sympathy or empathy. That is why you only get two voting choices FYL or YDI. Go cry somewhere else. Expect wit, criticism, insults, laughter, entertainment. Thanks for posting your comment, I found it entertaining for a mis-guided teen.

Printed the ticket wrong? Sounds about as plausible as 'My speedometer is faulty, officer' and 'I fell and landed on the beer bottle now lodged in my anus'.

I agree with #1 I've never been on a long vacation, but if I were to be flying anywhere, I'd be checking the info frequently, and I'd right it down on my calendar.

That sucks. I'm usually the type to completely misread things too, so I'm going to sympathize. I make mistakes like that all the time. However when I check the second time I tend to notice that I originally had the date wrong. I would say FYL since you're only human and we all make mistakes. But also YDI for not making 100% sure by checking the ticket...

YOU DESERVE IT for being ******* ILLITERATE. LEARN HOW TO READ. JUNE and JULY are OMG, each two letters different.

Are you Ali G? He once commented, "Iran and Iraq, just one letter off." (Also, right next to each other.) Now, "June and July, just two letters off." (And what do you know, ALSO right next to each other.) YDI for being so careless. Hope the hotels didn't cost too much either. But hey, you saved by not eating European food and by not buying souvenirs!
