My Holiday disaster

                                                

           Almost every summer I travel to the UK with my family. We enjoy going out together to eat and enjoy the nice summer weather. Then by august we would travel back to the Emirates together. But on the last occasion my family decided to go back to the Emirates earlier than me and I decided to stay with my cousins for a couple of weeks. When the summer holiday was over it was time to catch the plane home. But that transit flight didn’t go as planned.

            I had travelled overseas alone many times so it was not new to me at all. But it was the first time I had flown transit in Zurich. The flight from London to Zurich was quick and relatively comfortable. I landed in Zurich and had an hour to wait till my connecting flight to Abu Dhabi departed. As the plane was boarding a man told me to wait aside till he calls me apparently he wanted to check my ticket. I didn’t understand everything he said in his Swiss accent so I waited patiently. I was watching my plane through the window then suddenly it started to move. I ran back over to the desk and asked what had happened. The guy panicked more than I did he had obviously forgotten about me and as a result I had missed my flight. The flight left with my bags and electronically I was apparently on the flight.

            I stood waiting as the gentlemen at the desk discussed the issue with his colleague and made a couple of calls. I was very nervous at this point since I had never missed a flight and didn’t know what to do. Eventually after about a half hour wait the gentlemen from the boarding gate told me that I was to go on the next flight to Abu Dhabi on the airlines expense. He gave me my new boarding pass and some documentation. I proceeded to the next gate finding the situation humorous since it had been resolved.

            In brief, when a disaster like mine happens do not panic things usually have a way of sorting itself out. Especially when you’re in a foreign country and you don’t speak the local language. But I surely will be careful next time I travel, while it was quite an adventure I don’t think I would like to do it again.
