The funniest thing about it was you were saying my flight is at 7 i'll get a taxi at 6:30, Had to advise you that you'd need to get airport earlier to check in and that the flight would probably be boarding @ 6:30 so you'd need to be at airport for at least 6 Think I went up at about 3:30 you were still contemplating whether or not to go to bed |

Have never missed a flight in my life, had the fear of God in me that I'd miss a train in Brussels to go to Dusseldorf (en route to Gelenskirchen) thought the train was early morning turns out it was @ 12 found this out next morning when alarm went off .
I think I got confused with DamoGUFc train which he had indeed missed in fact on that trip he missed two trains and two buses got to the plane while boarding too |

Macedonia in 2011 a mate and myself were going through Vienna with Aerlingus. Went to terminal 2 as that's where Aer Lingus fly from, so we decide to get a pint. The board said 'go to gate' so we thought when it changes to 'boarding' we'll make a move. A guy the spitting image of Brian Kerr sits down and starts talking to us and get another pint as the board hasn't changed.
So we decide to make a move and turns out the gate was in T1 near the clock bar. And when we got into T1 the board said 'gate closed'. Legged it up to the gate and the steward said he had been calling us but sure you can't hear that in T2. There was no cheap option to get to Macedonia so we missed that trip completely. So now I go straight to the gate.... Which leads me to Moldova. Good job Chisinau airport had nothing going for it because I ran from taxi to gate in about 5 minutes just making the flight. The connection was in Kiev and waited with a few as they got their flight to London and when they left I went straight to my gate. In 5 minutes it was going to start boarding and about a minute after sitting down I fell asleep. The flight was leaving at 10.55 and I woke up at 11, and while I was asleep the gates changed too. Being the only Irish person going through Brussels on my own didn't help as if there had been others I'm sure someone would have woken me up. So a drunken panic around Kiev airport and I go to the sales desk and they were looking for €700 to Dublin via Paris. The girlfriend went on skyscanner and got the same flight for €270. Still not happy about missing the flight or having to pay out that amount to get a new flight. Hopefully it's the last time.

I was drinking a beer in the Mafia bar in Tiraspol when I heard that - made me feel much better

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

Must have decided bed was the best bet when I saw the taximan at the bar...
