Yesterday was an Chevy Chase style adventure.
- My wife's dad died
- We booked her a flight to her family
- She believes the flight is at 8p
- I drop her off at the airport at 6p
- Her brother calls and says she hasn't showed up 30m after her flight landed
- We realize her flight was at 6p, she must've missed it, and didn't contact anyone
- Her phone is off, I can't contact her
- I check our shared credit card and see a charge from another airline
- she booked another flight, but we don't know which
- I call the original airline and the wait time I'm quoted is "549 minutes"
- I call the new airline and the wait time I'm quoted is "59 minutes"
- I decide to go to the airport and find flesh and blood humans I can talk to
- I go to departures and there's no one there, except one guy from neither relevant airline, I ask him what to do
- he tells me I can go to baggage claim and find an airline representative from the airline and they might have access to flight info
- the guy there tells me with a wink and a nod that he can't tell me if anyone is on a flight but if they were on a flight to that destination they'd be on one landing right now with a connection to the destination
- we figured it out, she'll arrive at the destination in a few hours
- I get ahold of her before her connection and she missed the connection too
- She now books a third flight that departs in 6 hours
- Finally this morning she arrives
May k00b in law rest in peace 🙏
