Ever miss your flight home???

I try and try to miss it but my husband will not let me

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..

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.

Walter yes those red eyes get confusing , is agree. LoL NIkki, always a way to get around that...

As a credit to Air Canada, for some $ 40, or $ 60, they booked me in and I arrived without any problems in Negril. My dear wife, was not surprised at all, because [as a result of my confusion] she was simply expecting me that day.
Well, eventually I confessed to the whole thing. O boy, she still recollects it, often ! It will never go away.

Went to the Blue Hole up in Roaring River during our stay and the Rasta that took us there said there was plenty of time to go back before our flight. The was our first trip mind you. As the thread title leads you to believe we were nowhere near on time for our flight. After a small freak out we ended up doubling our flight costs. Had to get a room at Gloriana's in Montego Bay and made the best of it. Checked out the public beach down the road from Toby's the next morning and took a walk down to the casino. Expensive lesson learned..........Leave transportation to the trusted professionals.

Linston and I have discussed this and here's what we think.......

If he gets you there early no big deal...... if he gets you there late you'll be pissed at him or the airline or somebody..

Remember you do this once or twice a year...he does it every day

You can't tell what's going on up North and how the flights are running or how many will be in line at the ticket counter

A trustworthy driver is just that...trust his judgment

never "missed" a flight but got re-booked at the airport --- with hotel and food voucher --- went back and got my subs at the hotel - if I have some left I always leave a "starter kit"- I can't bare to throw it away - check behind the pictures - way back in the drawers - or the drop down ceiling - found enough in the drop down ceiling one year to finance my entire holiday - vacation redux --- I was back on the beach so fast --- didn't wait for the tourist bus to tuck us all into our beds --- let's see I probably had at least 15 free days on Air Jamaica --- and even one nice layover in Orlando --- couldn't land in Atlanta due to weather --- they cushed us up at Marriott Orlando --- with food and phone cards - best day to get this treatment - the work day following the holidays ---- hey boss - i'm delayed lol
