Stere goes to Poland - a comedy of errors

[stereax]

I have been sitting at Newark for the past 6 hours y'all. Flight (EWR-GVA) was supposed to leave at 5.30, delayed, cargo bin has a crack, deplaned, they tried to fix it, couldn't, new plane, new gate, three flight plan changes. We were supposed to be in Krakow by noon tomorrow. Now it's looking like 7 pm. If we're lucky.

Pray we get out of here by 11 or I don't even know what we'll do. If we miss our connection to Zurich we're not getting to Poland tomorrow.

Oh, and my mom has a flight back on Wednesday 😂

And I have a dentist appointment on Tuesday 😂

This is going great...

Fly to Warsaw instead and take the train to Krakow.  You'll have more flight options from Zurich and it's only a 2-1/2 hour train from Warsaw Airport to Krakow.

You'll get there sooner if you miss your connection to Krakow.

One case of the Stomachs later, and a nice six-ish hour delay, we're finally in Geneva. Next stop, Zurich - had to rebook this leg like, four times as the flight kept getting more and more delayed...

There's no way to get to Warsaw, is the issue. That flight (GVA-WAW) was fully booked.

Finally made it home.

Of course, without one of our checked bags 🥳

And now they have no record of us taking the transatlantic. Fun
