Ever had a hilarious series of unfortunate events occur while you while were traveling? Let's hear em.
Delta just offered me a whopping $75 bucks for this gem.
Flight #1 - Delayed leaving it's other city due to a storm, they re-book me on another flight that actually gets in 2 hrs earlier. Yay
Flight #2 - We board the flight and taxi. We're just about to take off when the captain decides to return to gate citing a 'customer problem'
- A gent exits the plane, turns out he was too intoxicated to fly. It's 9:30am, people!
- After he exits the plane, the-gate-machine-thing RUNS INTO THE PLANE! Damaging it. We can no longer fly this plane. Dammit drunk guy!
- Every one must deplane and get rebooked on other flights.
- After waiting in line for an hour, I get rebooked on a flight at the other city airport. I have 2hrs to get across the city (via cab voucher) and through security to catch this flight.
Flight #3 - I arrive at the other airport 45min later. They rebooked me with Air Canada :twitch: After standing in a non moving line for 30 min, knowing that my check-in has already closed, so I give up.
- I head over to Delta again to see what they can do. Well, it turns out they hadn't even booked me on a Air Canada flight. They'd given me the wrong info, so I was basically standing around wasting time. Cool, thanks.
Flight #4 - They ask for permission to oversell the flight to Seattle and put me on it. I ask that this means that I'm guaranteed a seat on this flight - they say yes. Okie, I'll take it.
- We take off without a hitch and land in Seattle. There's a plane broken down right in the middle of where we taxi. No planes can go around it. We are stuck on the tarmac and we don't know for how long. I see the clock ticking and my connecting flight time pass. Lol you can feel the collective energy of people giving up on catching their connections as time passes.
- The captain finally announces that we can pull in at the gate.
Flight #5 - I run to the flight board and as luck would have it, my connection was delayed. I have 15 minutes to make it through A LOT of airport, TSA pre screening and security again. Good thing I'm wearing runners. I MADE IT!
Arrive home - Heyyyy, where's my luggage?
LOL if I have time I'll sit down and tell y'all about the time we needed to get from Spain to England and our driver got giardia, then we went the wrong way and blew two tires driving through France...
