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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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, my fiancée and I were going on our honeymoon. Our flight was delayed by two hours. It landed when our connecting flight to St. Lucia was taking off. The airline said they were holding the flight for us, so we sprinted from D gate to A, in time to watch the plane pull away. 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 checked in for my flight, made it through TSA, bought food, and sat at the gate for an hour. I only realized I was sitting at the wrong gate when boarding for another flight finished and everyone had left. I ran to the correct gate, but it was too late. Despite me pleading, the plane was already taxiing to the runway. FML
Today, when I arrived at the airport for my international flight there was no record of my ticket in the system. Turns out the flight was yesterday. 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
Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The plane would not have left with your luggage. Airlines are required to remove checked luggage from the plane if someone does not show up for their flight and board the plane. It's a security issue.

And you didn't bother to check flight schedules yourself?

Fake and aircraft isn't allowed to leave without calling out your name as if your luggage was on there and no passanger it is suspicious.

Lol, who told you that? That's definitely wrong. Calling passenger's name is a courtesy, and they don't have to do it. Sounds perfectly legit.

Wrong. It's protocol. It's not courtesy, it's making sure some guy didn't put a bomb in his luggage and let the plane leave.

YDI for not knowing how to travel.

Yeah it's the guy at the counter's fault, but who doesn't go to the terminal or check the board to see how long their flight is delayed...I guess I'm just the kind of person who likes to check and see things for myself rather than trust a guy who just gets paid to type into a computer

False, thats only international. Domestic, they lock it up if it's not claimed.

For all those calling fake. Planes leave with unaccompained luggage all the time. Between people checking their luggage then missing the plane and mix ups when loading it its a fairly common occurence.

Yes, you'll get it.

#8 Is 100% correct. This post is 50 - 100% FAKE. It is a law (about the luggage).

YDI for clearly having no knowledge on checking flight details - there are screens all over the place. don't blame the guy although it's his job you should look after yourself.
