travel rant
Is it me or are airlines deliberately trying to make life impossible? Trying to check in, option to add bags, first bag is free, add 2 bags (1 each) total amount = 0. I click proceed and they want my credit card info.
What part of the 0 dollars do they want to charge???
Oh and while I'm at it, printer manufacturers are evil too. Cartridges still full (just old) and not tried out (hence the ink on my fingers) but they need to be replaced anyway. The chip just prevents the printer to do anything when it's over 6 months old. Replace black ink, click 'black ink only' still refuses to print because the other ones are old. 45 euros later I have black and white print-outs...
Seriously, after checking in online and printing these boarding passes, I truly need a vacation!!!!

What I'm looking forward to in 2012:
Eating our way through (northern) Italy on vacation

Re: travel rant
I see your rants, and raise you one about Spotify:
I can't log into Spotify now that I'm back in Norway because I am not in "the country where my account is registered" (it's set to UK).
Ok, let's change the country then, no problem. They want me to enter a credit card to make the change.
What?! F you, Spotify.
Another random airline / booking site vent. Many years ago I booked a flight with a credit card. 1.5 years later, my dad (back then I was still in college) said, "what's this $500 charge?" At first I thought it was a mistake and contacted the booking site, and it turned out it was the flight from over a year before. I actually got pretty upset because the exchange rate had gotten dramatically worse in the meantime (I booked in Euros but it was charged to my US credit card). I ended up getting the company to only charge me using the exchange rate the day I booked. It was like a $100 difference since it was around the first time the dollar crashed against the euro. Seriously, though. 1.5 years later?
And the same booking site (which I generally love because it has the lowest prices - opodo) did something similar with a flight I took to London 1.5 years ago. Get this - we booked the flight in January, flew to London in April, ended up amongst the millions stuck because of the Icelandic volcano and had to take a bus back to Germany 5 days later because there was no sign of the volcano letting up and we had to get back to work. I got the return flight reimbursed, and almost a year later noticed they had taken money out of my account. I called and it turned out they had never taken the money out of my account for the original flight. So they reimbursed me money they had not yet received? Strange policies there, but as long as there's no exchange rate problems it's not a big deal.
