I bumped into a lad I know in the airport in Barcelona after the Andorra game. Himself and his friends stayed up for the Ireland rugby match which was on at about 7 that morning and then got a cab to the wrong airport. By the time they got a cab back to the correct airport their flight was gone. I left them for my own flight as they were trying to sort a new route home. Fast forward a few weeks and I bump into him over in Estonia. He explains that they eventually sorted out a new route home but due to the lack of sleep they dozed off in the airport and missed that too so they had to sort out a third route home. And these lads aren't young fellas either!

I've had a few close shaves over the years, but have never missed a flight. Not on away trips, nor on any other trips. And that's with nearly 70 countries visited haha.

I like to have things organized. So usually already have a transfer or taxi sorted the day before travelling.

Pretty boring really
 
Germanwings Sofia to cologne late
Deutche Bahn  cologne to dusseldorf late
Result - Misse Aer Lingus connection Dusseldorf to Dublin
 
Could of coped with one being late but not the combination of the two

As I says on the title .
Now I know there are quite a few stories to go with these as there are some classics I am sure due to falling asleep at the gate or the S7 flights which closed the desk when the flight was full and left everyone else stood there .
 
Any stories you can put them up .
 As for me well so far lucky but did miss a flight back to Gatwick on a holiday due to snowbound plane hey it cost us 255 euro each to get back to Shannon the next day .
 
So away you go .
