Oh No, Not Again!!!

Hey Travel Lover

Welcome to the month of LOVE!!!

“If you never miss a plane, you’re spending too much time at the airport.” – George Stigler

I stumbled on the quote above and several thoughts crossed my mind, I have heard stories of those who were at the airport early, checked-in, sat at their boarding gate, yet missed their flight. I have also heard stories of those who went to the wrong gate and it was too late to head to the actual gate.

What hilarious, missed flight tales do you have to share with us? Have you ever missed a flight? What did you do?

I have so many missed flight tales (Local & International), I’m spoilt for choice at the particular tale to share. The memories have me giggling, shaking my head, sighing and asking myself, how did you miss your flight AGAIN?

I had shared two tales previously, catch up here and here. One would think I had learnt my lesson, but this, still happened. Here goes….

My flight was scheduled to depart Lagos at 11am, I had planned to leave for the airport at 8:30am, but my adviser, let’s call her Ms. Kay, thought it would be too early and I would fall prey to George Stigler’s quote – spend too much time at the airport, she suggested leaving at 9:20am. I agreed and decided to chill with my extra minutes, then she had another bright idea – food – which I now believe was the main culprit of this story.

I’m sure you get the gist already, I missed my flight!!! I missed my flight because, I didn’t leave for the airport early enough and I waited for food. After rebooking my ticket for the next day at an extortionist amount, I couldn’t help thinking about the choices that depleted my reserves

So, Travel Lover, do you think you spend too much at the airport (when you arrive early)? Have you ever missed your flight? What did you do? Let us know your responses in the comments section.

Till Next Week

Live, Love, Laugh
