The friendly skies

Wow. This has been a very stressful weekend. Their air transfer bus was late into the airport yesterday, so they ended up last in the line, but still in time. All of a sudden a bitchy employee shows up and yells at them that they are too late to check in and that they have to go to ticketing. They went over to ticketing who scratched their heads and had no idea why they needed to see him, so he left to ask. When he comes back they are 3 minutes late for check in, so they are not allowed to check in anymore.

They were wait listed but told there probably was a slim chance. All flight were overbooked.

Finally they got there this morning, didn't get on the flight, but were given confirmed seats on the Monday flight all the way to Tampa. Thank goodness my sister's boyfriend lives in Stockholm!

I feel better knowing they have guaranteed seats on that plane, but that flight has been 2 ½ hours late all weekend, so if that is the case tomorrow they will miss their connection to Tampa. But at least they will be in the US... I will let you know how it ends! Don't we all just LOVE transatlantic flying?

Åh nej, vad jobbigt!! Stackars din syster och co, och vad frustrerande för dig som försöker hjälpa dem!! Håller tummarna!
Jag hoppas att min resa till Skandinavien på onsdag går bättre... också med Continental.

Oj vilket strul. Hoppas att det ordnar sig nu och att resten av resan går som den ska. Blir nog otroligt skönt när de väl kommer fram både för dem och för dig.
