He haw outside our hotelMaybe it's karma....because we slagged off Dallas below, but we yesterday (30th March) went like this :
- I had checked the tickets, for our flight to Buenos Aires, and noticed that it was in the evening so didn't give it much thought, so we thought we'd do some washing and laze about at our hostel (It wasn't a very nice day anyway).
- I rechecked the tickets, at about 12:30, and noticed that the flight was actually at 19:30 (not 9:30pm as I thought), which meant we had to check in by 16:30 to ensure that we got decent seats. We'd better get a move on, get our clothes out the drier and head to the train station, to get the train to the airport.
- checked the trains....there wasn't one until 15:00....(ahhh it's all going wrong)
- it's OK, there is a bus....panic over
- get to the airport and it's chaos at the American Airways check in. Because of all the bad weather, the previous night, everyone is on standby and trying to get on any flight possible.
- eventually get checked in....not a window seat, but together....cool
- just about to board the plane and we are told the flight is cancelled because the Argentinian and Brazil air traffic control staff are on strike.....no planes going anywhere near Buenos Aires
- luckily we have insurance....so we got a hotel, but the nearest flight was on the 2nd (with a chance of standby)
THERE IS NOTHING TO DO HERE....AHHHHHHHHHH !!!!
If you don't believe me look at microsoft maps put it in hybrid mode and zoom out a wee bit....nothing (unless you have a car !!!)
