Ever miss your flight home???
Boy was I am a mad mama....not really -but my daughter missed her flight home, first time she ever missed a flight.....car trouble. she flew Sunwing, so she would have had to wait a full week for the next flight...so she had to pay for a new flight..:mad: kids. I have had some close calls, it's so hard to leave.
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
I havent.....thanks to the drivers insisting on leaving sooooo early, lol! Sometimes I get frustrated at them for pushing me to leave early but I know its for the best!
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
Yes got caught with a bit of ganja. Ended up in a free room for a couple nights but it was costly to leave
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
Twice...once when I was a kid...slept in but managed to get another flight at no extra charge (good 'ol days) :) ...second time they'd not informed me the flight had changed.
LaPurr...it's sad the driver didn't grab another driver & get your daughter to the airport on time...would have been so easy smeasy! Or, was your daughter driving a rental car? That would suck!

in 1985 I was very late for the plane, my wife had boarded, and the steps were away from the plane, I got through security waving to the plane, the plane stopped, and the stairs were pushed back, I made the flight...they were quite upset with me........that was the last time
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
I try and try to miss it but my husband will not let me :)
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
Worse! I missed a flight to Negril ! Can you imagine an expression on my face, when I was told by Air Canada desk person ; eeeee, sir, your flight left 22 hours ago. Those just after midnight flights to Toronto are still confusing to me..
Re: Ever miss your flight home???
Never missed a flight, but have been known to be trying to arrange a later flight 15 minutes before my driver was due to pick me up :)

That's funny Walter. Last year we extended our trip to Puerto Vallarta by one day. We got back to our hotel room our last night to discover a message on our phone. It was Air Transat and they were wondering if we were OK because we missed our flight. We got screwed up with the 8 days, so what was supposed to be our last night was yesterday. That ended up costing big time. $400 each to catch a flight to Regina, not Saskatoon where our vehicle was. Plus a night in a crappy AI hotel as the hotel we were staying in was fully booked. On top had to pay for our extra night at original hotel, plus the car rental, which was expensive as we were dropping in a different city than P/U. I would say we learned our lesson.

As much as my kid loves negril this was her first time staying in St.Elizabeth, with a group of girls for her best friends moms wedding... So she was in the country...and I guess rides are not as accessible ? Is this true? :confused:
