Transportation: Wait and see

Wait and see

By me. - 18/06/2011 23:54 - United States

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

Delayed

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 home after taking one airplane from A to B. My luggage never made it on the plane with me, and now the airline is looking for it. One plane and still lost my suitcase. 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

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

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

could've been worse, they could've slapped a bag fee on there too! FYL

Op, that just plain sucks. Traveling, at least the transportation part, is never much fun. Anyone who says YDI obviously hasn't had baggage on a plane before.

they probably were snooping around in it and covered up by saying your baggage is lost

Google "one bag" and it'll lead you straight to a site that will change your travel experience forever-- if you're smart enough to realize the benefit of the advice it offers. There are two types of baggage at airports: carry-on and lost. YDI.

90- Op didn't deserve have their bag lost. they didn't cause their bag to get list the airline did. just because they didn't a site with advice existed doesn't mean it was their fault. you'd be one of the jackasses causing drama at security and on the plane because you didn't get your way.

Dude that's nothing.! When I was 15 I left for a 3 week camp to Mexico. Flew out of Melbourne international to Auckland, LAX and down to Mexico City. Between Melborne and Auckland, Air New Zealand lost my ruck sack. Luckily I had a change of clothes and underwear in my cabin bag. However, in that...
