alright here it goes
so i leave for the airport with alot of time before boarding, so i would arrive at the airport 2 1/2hours in time to give me time to check in. The road upto the airport was being resurfaced and road works everywhere, so there was very little movement...than there was a car crash that blocked both the lanes as one car was spun out and couldnt be moved. The policee and tow truck took forever, so i didnt manage to get to the check in desk till 35mins before departure.
(singapore airlines tells you that there is construction going on at any airport they are going out of, and if there are any issues with terminals, etc, all online when you go to their website.....i know the accident is a diff scenerio that cant be helped, but at least they provide info and give you a suggested check in time such as arrive 3hrs prior to make sure)
I figured i should be ok since it said there was a 30min cut-off time.
I was wrong, the staff member was unable to check me in, so she gave me options, i decided to go on the nxt flight 2hours later, this way i could get coffee and read the paper.
I figured this was ok since it was a confirmed ticket (even though i thought i would be put as standby, they knew the flight wasnt going to be full) So we boarded the plane and i helped a old couple get to the plane and settled where i realized that the older gentleman had the same seat as i did, we checked both tickets and the seat was assigned to both of us. I ran to the gate agent and asked what was going on and if i should just wait and sit in a available sear once everyone had boarded. He said no your going to have to go over this procedure and so on. (i should have stayed on the plane and asked a flight attendant)
The flight went as planned mostly, nice short 4hr ride all quiete so i read a few chapters in my book. There was a 12year old seated behind me so i figure he would know how to behave, an hour into the flight i keep feeling hard bumps coming from my seat, i turn around to see he is kicking and punchin the seat back and his mom kept supporting him, yeah show me how its done, see thats why no one messes with you in school....blah blah blah, so i asked her to tell her son if he could stop doin that to my seat and she gave me the evil stare and said we paid for these seats and my son is better than you he can do whatever he wants. The flight attendant came and asked him to stop, to which he did and you could hear him mumblin on about how rude and how ****** people are on the flight.
I arrived at my destination to find my bags didnt make it, i filed a missing baggage claim and gave them my forwarding address, i got the bag the nxt morning, 1/2 beat up with missing work clothes, i wrote the airline about it and even though i believe it had nothin to do with the airline employees
btw this didnt happen, its just to see what people say and what their addvice is and suggestions....to help people
i know there are some good and helpful people on here....for example PHXFlyer who some people are mad about sayin he works for the airline and he is an airline sympathisor even though he is just offerein words of help etc
and dont go crazy that i put it in this file i didnt kno where else to put it
