i'm not a frequent flyer but i've done a fair share of flying in my lifetime ... i've never missed a flight in my life ... that is until today ... it was the first time ... and hopefully the last time ... i guess there are worse things that can happen to a human being ... but still it's a pretty shitty thing to have happen to you ...
thank god it was a domestic flight because there's no refund no nothing ... so it only set me back 175 riyals ... oh well ...
anyway after being denied boarding ... i was very upset of course ... i was going home but after telling the taxi driver my story he persuaded me to take the train instead ... so i was like fine go to the train station ... so we did ... and lo and behold they were sold out ... at the same time there are taxis outside ... so me and two other guys who also wanted to go to dammam but were unable to secure train tickets shared one ...
if i had gotten on my flight i would've been home around 2:30 ... as it were i got home around 5:30 ... three hours is not so bad ... but still ...
anyway it's good to be home ...

Missed one flight from New York to New Orleans. Paid 60 dolars to get on the next flight which was 7 hours later. My husband till this day reminds me of it and blames me and he will do that for the rest of our lives.
I really didn't care then, and still don't care.

I always wanted to take a train somewhere, you should try it, they say it is a lot of fun..Anyways, I missed a flight from Istanbul to Beirut a couple of years ago..That was an experience I will never forget !!
el7amdellah 3ala salamtak :)
oyoo im a professional flight and train misser, dont ask me how i do it or why.....sometimes i am actually ready and right on schedule but in a split second time freezes and i manage to waste time around the house doing nothing and then leave the house late and tadaaa flight/train is missed. plus one of my most hated things is waiting in airports and train stations so really having to find the next flight or train helps kill time
noura nshala i will try it someday dont worry there are still many trips to dammam in the future nshala :D
melicieuse .. i feel sorry for ur husband/future husband :D
