I had to rush a trip to mumbai- an emergency. On my way back, i get tkts for a 9 pm flight and get bak in chennai at 6 in the morning- ask me why- they cancelled my flight- ask them why- technical snag. easy isnt that? there is absolutely no way that you can question that now can you? Smart really good looking chaps and young women running around in chic clothes trying to convince you that you will be accomodated on some flight as soon as possible- they talk so easily. I was impressed by their attempt to convince people- making ppl believe that they would do anything for their customers- they literally talk their way out.Absolute lack of value for time- thats what it was.
I pay so much to sit 8 darn hours in the airport and reach home at some godforsaken hour in the morning- frustration, lots of lost sleep and black circles was what i end up with.
What if this was a flight i was taking to make it to an interview, what if this was the flight a doc was taking to perform a crucial operation, what if this was the flight i was taking to see the last of someone.

Well, your frustration is very reasonable. But what if any technical snag would have happened in the mid air?? i hope you might have heard the incidents where people narrowly escaped from the 9/11 incident just because of some so called hinderances!
Everything Happens For A Reason :)

@ilaa : really? dint hear that ..i was waitin for eons in the darn airport.. !
. hi Lakshmi!
That last bit was especially hard-hitting. I must say, however, that airlines are no more keen to hold you back than you are. Sometimes, things do get out of hand and there's nothing we can do other than grin and bear.
