| Stuck at Gate 60 waiting for our rebooked, delayed flight. |
I've been looking forward to going home for the Holidays (for one month!!!) since we booked our flight ages ago. I've been counting down the days, trying my best to still function despite being already in a "holiday mode". I even packed my luggage weeks before my flight making sure that all the chocolates and gifts I bought for my friends and family are safe and intact. You might say I'm too excited. Well, I really am! It's been awhile since I last seen my family and I couldn't wait to be with them asap.
On the day of our flight, we received an email that our flight was cancelled. Imagine my disappointment. I was soooo infuriated. Of all the days and flights in Sydney, ours was cancelled! So, we called the airline and rebooked for the next available flight. (We were happy to know that it's still on the same day!) Now that we're in the airport, checked in and passed through immigration, the Flight Information Display shows that our flight is delayed at least by an hour. How cruel is that? I already got a cancelled flight, rebooked a flight and that next available flight is delayed.
I was like "Sydney, are you seriously kidding me? I've been dreaming of this day that I am finally coming home after almost a year of being away and now, you don't want me to leave?". Yes, I had my bad days but this one's the most annoying so far.
It was kind of difficult for me to see the good in this situation but I realized, it was better for our flight to be cancelled and delayed.
Here's why:
