Pity party for one: I should be on a beach right now

And instead I'm back home in -40C weather, pouting.

I went to the airport this morning to fly to Mexico at 11.  Our connecting flight was delayed twice and then cancelled.  We weren't going to make our flight to Cancun so they rebooked all 18 of us who were supposed to be on that plane.  DH and I were rebooked to fly out tomorrow to a random Canadian city, to then stay overnight, to then fly out on SATURDAY!  I lost it and finagled an earlier flight leaving at 6am tomorrow, but it took over an hour on hold to make that happen.  And I have a bad feeling they put us on standby and not in a real seat.   I am still losing out on a night in Mexico, a day of vacation wasted today, the time and cash wasted at the airport, and the cabfare in the morning.  And they can't comp us anything at this point.  This is by far the worst service I've ever received.  I will never fly this airline again, mark my word.

Up side - I'm sleeping 5 hours in my own bed instead of in an airport...

Happy anniversary to us.

Re: Pity party for one: I should be on a beach right now

  • No comp?  What the ever living hell?!  I'm sorry that you are losing a beach day. I hope you'll forget about this hassle by this time tomorrow when you are drunk on the beach.

  • @aimothy I know right! No comp even after I was transferred and spoke to 4 different people.  I'm going to try again at the hotel with the rep for the tour operator in Mexico.  The only advice I got was to email the company when I get back to get comped... Their thought is probably it will all be forgotten after I spend my week boozing and relaxing.

  • All I got out of this post was that you're missing out in poutine and that's sad. ;-)

    Just kidding. Sorry it's such a fiasco! I hope you enjoy your vacation.
  • I'm sorry.. that really blows. I'd definitely try to get something out of that crappy deal :(

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    Bahaha! I just read back what I wrote because I was so confused. I thought it was a Canadian thing, haha!  But ironically I actually did have poutine for dinner to make myself feel better!  I 'poutenized' my meal as we say around these parts.

    See. This is exactly where the airline SHOULD be comping you. I get that they can't control the weather.  But uh. They can control having more than one plane available for a flight.

  • My mom went to mexico recently and they also got delayed a whole day. :( she fought and fought on the phone with them and ended up getting some comp but I can't remember what. She will never use that airline/company again. Their plane broke and they had nothing coming in until the next day.

  • Ugh that sucks so hard.
  • Ugh, sorry you missed out on a whole beach/drinking day!  I hope by now you're well on your way to Mexico and lots of booze.  Do you mind sharing the airline? I wanna make sure I don't ever book with a company with such poor customer service.  Happy anniversary!

    THIS all the way!! It's completely the airline's fault you're losing vacation time. They owe you BIG TIME. Make a big fat fuss whenever you can. You deserve to be comped. What a shitty way to start your anniversary/vacation time!
