My Worst Experience Flying
Two summers ago my sister and I were in Dallas, TX trying to get home. We arrived at the airport to find out that our flight had been delayed, then delayed again, then canceled. We followed some people to another terminal to try to get on another flight that was going to Indianapolis that night. Well that didn't work so we were put on standby for the following morning. Unfortunately my luggage was put on that flight so I had basically nothing. Never believe the people when they put you on standby and tell you that you will be on the next flight, you won't. We got to the airport plenty early and waited and waited for them to call our names. It never happened. We were put on another standby list and we didn't make it on that one either. We were so upset and just wanted to get home. We were told that we would be on the standby list and be on the next flight home. We waited by that gate for what seemed like forever. Finally they called my sister's name, but not mine. Well we weren't going to split up so they assured us we would be on the flight leaving the next day. Sure enough, we were and we were put in first class. It was all fun on the way home until we landed in Indianapolis and my suitcase was nowhere to be found. Ever since then I have been really cautious about what I pack in my suitcase since I lost so much that was not replaced. It was my worst experience flying.

Wow! That is so unfortunate about the flight. I have had some bad experiences with traveling my plane and I can agree with you by saying it is quite annoying and also frustrating. Sounds like you and sister must be very close and care for one another which is why you stuck together the whole time. I'm glad that you were able to get home despite all the obstacles on the way!
ReplyDeleteWow I have never heard a story like this before, that is crazy I would have freaked out if that happened to me. Everytime I've flown I haven't had a problem, everytime I've had a layover its only been maybe an hour or two. I hope next time you decide to fly that everything will not take long and everything will go smoothly!
ReplyDeleteThis is awful. Maybe you should call this your worst experience not flying for how many flights you should have been on but weren't. I dont know if i could stand being in an airport that long not knowing if or when i was going to get out each day. I personally have only flown one or two times. I hope i dont encounter problems as extreme as this.
