Quel Disastre!

cson

Ugh, Im currently stranded in Nice Aiport. In Nice for a few days break and never set my watch/fone to french time. Had a flight home at 10am this morning. Left at 8am for the airport, got there at 8.30am and found it strange that the check in desk wasnt open. Then I remembered the time on my phone/watch was Irish time. Doh

So now Im after payng €400 to fly home at 3 with Aer Lingus. This fooking interweb and ****edup keyboard (the letters are all over the place and the numbers need caps on) is after costing me €10 for an hour! Im feeling some way between laughing and crying. I dont know which.

Au revoir and all that

You know, if you used the autoupdate feature on your phone this never would have happened..

No matter how well you train people, they still get it wrong

Sucks balls man. An extra €410 to the cost of a holiday? Ouch!

The_B_Man

least ya got a trip to Nice. who cares if ur a few hours late.

togster

That does suck balls man. Meh it'll probably never happen to you again. I did the same thing before. Well i went to the wrong airport in a cab (50 e) then back to other airport (120 e) then new ticket 200e then i missed my connection flight (200+ e) not untill next morning so had to get a hotel room (70 e). Ball breaking but sure c'est la vie

You're not "just after" doing anything. You "just looked" or "was just charged".

mike65

Now now! that bogger talk is grand if you are from the bog.

Ah man, in '06 something like that happened to me and a few mates in Stanstead. We had to wait like ten hours. To top it all off my stupid friend got in a bit of trouble in the Irish bar and the security made him wait outside in the wind and rain for ****ing hours. As ya can guess most of us waited outside with him.

FlutterinBantam

heh heh ...Ireland on tour.

What a shower of wassicks.

I booked a flight to Nice for last Wed and a return flight for Sun morning for 35euro (incl. EVERYTHING). But I couldn't fly out on Wed so I booked a 1 way flight for Thurs morning instead (26.75euro for EVERYTHING). Pity I was too drunk to fly in the morning so I missed that flight. Lost 51euro in total. Ah well

Overheal

Thats ok I nearly missed my flight Stateside over christmas because the timetables for JJ Kavanagh didn't use the 24 hour clock... Here I am thinking there was a 5am bus. Fortunately there was a real bus at 7, and I had already planned on getting there 4 hours before departure (I like wandering about)

pickarooney

At least there were flights home. Feck it, at least you were somewhere with half-decent weather.
I missed a flight last summer from Bucharest as I'd mixed up the going out and coming back times. there was not, needless to say, a replacement flight for many days...

Fetchez la vache.

cson

Home just now after a bum numbing 4 hour bus journey into the bargain. Have to say, its great to have a qwerty keyboard again amongst other things. Bought an Indo on the way home and from reading it, we were pretty lucky Aer Lingus were flying at all today. Anyways, could be a lot worse. An expensive lesson in learning to set your watch and phone to the local time.

Pighead

Terrible news cson, and the last thing Pighead wants to do is kick a man when he's down but "Quel disastre" is wrong. It should be "Quel Desastre" with an accent on the first e.

Now don't for a minute think Pigheads judging you or tut tutting. Mistakes happen, and to be fair you were panicking and probably out of your head with fear and worry but you know what the fcukers are like around here. Spelling this, punctuation that, wrong forum ya big eejit, you're foreign language skills are a bloody disgrace etc etc etc.

Anyway, bonne nuit mon beau petit coup de hache d'agneau.

cson

Yeah I know, I was distressed when I wrote that thread title. Meh, it'll teach me to come on boards when I'm in a state. And of course teach me to come to the airport on time. Just one of those days. (Just after realising I also missed your 5000th Pighead, was it a corker? A detailed post incorporating the words "yore ma", "atari shaguar" and "salubrious"?)

What a fooking day, what a fooking day.

Ah Jesus ya missed out big time there buddy. Pighead threw out an absolute belter for his 5000th post. Spent a few days coming up with it as its not every day you reach the old 5000. Here it is in all its glory. The bit at the end about the "crappy nature of their pitch" still cracks Pighead up! Great days.

easy mistake to make their OP. A number of years ago, I was living in Madrid, mam and sister decide to come visit, after initial hooha of finding out when and what time they were arriving at, I just rocked up to the airport to check the arrival board for the (approximate) time I had been given. No flights arriving from shannon, me standing there scratching my head wondering what was going on. Wandered over to get a coffee, and have a smoke and who was sitting at the bar only mam and my sister. What a surprise says I, then got the story out of my sister about how they were lucky to be there at all.
They had rocked up to the Air fungus desk, in shannon, tickets in hand, suitcases the works, and your man behind the desk takes the tickets, looks at them, breaks his shoite laughing, they were a full 24 hours late for their flight. As they hadn't shown up the day before, their return flight had also been cancelled, luckily there were seats available to get them home again. no extra charge though.

me, on a european weekend break, stopover in stanstead, says sure what harm will 1 more beer do... £80 for another ticket after missing the check in time for connecting flight even though i had been there a good 4 hours before hand. I was only after ringing my friend as well to say, i'll see you in a few hours...twasn't the only disaster on that little holiday either

Quel dommage. Pamplemousse.

Glad you got back ok OP, I don't know why you were charged 3.70 for a can of Coke, usually costs max €1 over here, unless you took it from the mini bar or something.....French keyboards are a pain, luckily hav my laptop And instead of waiting around, you could have got a train to Marseille or Milan and gone home the next day.
Quel désastre and no I am not making fun of Pighead's grammar but surely it's your, not you're foreign language skills.
