Feeling really pissed off, just missed my flight and cant get another one until 22.30 tomorrow.
Bollocks, has this ever happened to anyone else.
Bollocks

I have a friend who booked his flights the wrong way around, got to the airport before being shown the error of his ways.

I know someone that went to the wrong airport 8)

I also know someone that flew to the wrong country. :D

But nope ive never missed a flight...get pissed up Dell.

Yes. Luckily I managed to get on the next available flight about 4 hours later.

I missed a flight from Bangkok to Brunei - girlfriend read the ticket wrong and looked at our arrival time rather than departure...so glad it wasn't my fault as we were supposed to be visiting her sister!

I missed a bus once.

Had to wait 5 minutes before another came!

Does that count?

Wasn't in England then

No.

Come home again now the rest of the family already gone, left on Sunday, yes Yeovil going to get mighty pissed, whose up for an all night chat.

Start a late night thread (after midnight)

Can't you hire a jet?

On my life!!!!

£175 or £16,000, big decision!!!

No I'll get pissed and wait until tomorrow. :roll:

Where were you going anyway dell?

Athens, then onto Rhodes after a couple of days.
Will now go straight to Rhodes.

 :mrgreen: Greece!

you are the new investor!!!

 :shock: Why would anyone with any sanity throw money at Swindon Town FC. :|

Do they still have all the security restrictions on flights?

I was joking Dell.

Have some more wine.

No its seem ok now, you can park outside the terminal and unload as long as you are quick, police come over but no hassle.
Normal procedures inside - if you get there on time!!!!!!! :oops:

this is not a dig at your time keeping at all in the slightest but i hate being late, when i have a flight i give myself pleanty of time even it it means i sat at the air port for 2 hours more than i should be then so be it, i allways dread there to be that accident on the M4 and i'd be fucked.
but harsh deals its never nice.

I missed flight from LA to Fiji - Just made me race around LA Airport with my bag to another airline and got a flight 1 hour later.

I've gotta fly from Gatwick in August - flight leaves at 9.30 am and I'm getting a national express to arrive at 6.20am, hoping it'll be enough of a buffer cos the return flight cost over a grand.

missed one to australia once; was going for work so they had to buy me another on flight a couple of days later at extorsionate price, but then when i was out there found the existing return part of the first ticket was no longer valid, so had to get another return too.   lets just say i wasn't too popular... but then i did say 'don't book a 6am departure, i might not be awake' !

also missed one in australia as i turned up to the airport 2 hours early,  so had a bit of a kip in the international departures lounge - which might not have been a problem when I woke up 4 hours later if one of the qantas staff had woken me up earlier, although I would also have had to have been in the domestic terminal in the first place, since that was actually where my flight was leaving from.

Well on my way in 10 minutes, this time I'm giving myself just under 5 hours to book-in for the flight.
Bye Bye :D  :D

Slightly different subject but I hate those pricks on ITV's "Airport" that moan and moan at the easyjet staff because they've missed check in by 10 minutes, as they have to be in Barcelona for the world's most important meeting.

Look fella if you're going to the world's most important why the fuck are you flying with easyjet.

Fuck off.

missed my connecting flight in Amsterdam heading to the most important england international EVER - v Portugal in World Cup 1/4 final last year.  :oops:
