Relatable, Airplanes, Frustration and Transportation: Girls just wanna go home

Girls just wanna go home

By budadepressed - 18/07/2016 21:22 - United States - Burnsville

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 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 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

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'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

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

Today, I went to the airport a full three hours before my flight departure time just to be on the safe side. I ended up having the best nap of my life and missing my flight. FML

Today, I spent six hours driving between two airports to try and catch my flight. Two trailer accidents, two construction zones, three detours, and one police escort later, the airline wouldn't let me on the plane. FML

Today, I spent the busiest travel day of the year in the busiest airport in the world trapped between the decision to leave the terminal bathroom or shit my pants. Yes, I missed my flight. Sorry, mom. 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

On the bright side, all that sitting around gave you time to think of a clever username!

I don't know whether I would have cried or laughed at how bad my luck was at that point if that were me.

I'm from MN and that does sound like the MSP Airport. I'm surprised it wasn't the security line that took the 30 hours..

What "sounds like it's MSP"? I didn't get any information from the FML that gave any type of location clues.

The posts say when they were published and also where. If you look at he bottom, in smaller print, it says Minnesota.

Not everyone can see that though. My phone doesn't show gender or location.

My sister's flight from Orlando to Philadelphia was delayed 18 hours. The airline refused to compensate her until she pointed out to them that she could have driven to Philadelphia in 18 hours. Maybe you could argue that you could have swam to Budapest in 30 hours? That may not be as compelling an argument, though.
