How could anyone miss an International flight like that?

Well I did...

Showed up at the airport for @ 2:00pm, when the flight had left 12 hours earlier @ 2:00am.

There were five of us!

Thats nothing

I once happily showed up for an International flight at the right time but a day late. I was about to ask the person at check in what the heck was taking so long to check me in when she calmly told me that the problem was I was a day late but no worries, she had rebooked me for the next flight and didn't charge me extra.

Too bad Canadian is gone, would never receive that service from Air Canada

I am still here. I had to purchase another flight JAL $1629 to Singapore , my original ticket turned out to be non refundable, non insured, no cancellation policy of course there it is I am an idiot in fact.
Maverick or somebody can you please make a looser of the year poll?


ELIZA.

Be resilient and move on man!

Ya missed a flight. Shit happens. Get over it. Things could always be worse. Alot of people couldn't afford to buy a ticket. Yer only a loser if you wallow in the moment.

 

[Valium]

Yup, you are an idiot!
Hopefully you will remember your $1600 mistake when you catch a flight next time. But you have a long way to go if you want to be loser of the year. There are a lot of other guys way ahead of you.

Hey there. No point making a poll since at this very instant, you'd probably be the hands down winner. Tommorow, somebody else may be. The day after that, somebody else. It's shitty that happened. Things could be a lot worse though. Look on the bright side. You can afford not only 1 $1600 ticket, but 2... some people in Mexico take 10 years to build a home from the tips they receive from tourists because they are so poor. In the mean time, they make do with cardboard, scraps, and whatever else will do for a wall (just like the orphans from the Simpsons... "3 walls is not enough... cough... cough... cough... cough...." ).

Just curious, did you have the option to buy insurance?

Things happen for a reason and usually result in long term good. You will probably be a lot more prudent in tour ticket purchases and ensuring you show up on time in the future. Best of luck to you and hopefully this message cheered you up.
