I never been so "lucky" in traveling to encounter something like that!!!
Can you imagine that - this whole year no typhoon had hit hong kong, but was until yesterday that when I need to leave her, the typhoon hit and I was trapped in Macau for no sailing reason. :(
Queuing at ticketing counter for more than 7hours and finally get the ticket to sail off at 7pm. But, my flight is at 7:55pm. Gosh!! How could I have made it when my sailing time needs 1hour plus?!?!
Later, got the message from my friend that the flight had been delayed to depart only at 11:30pm, thought that might be a slight chance for me to catch the flight, as I finally got off from ferry at 9pm...
Who knows it - I still miss the flight because boarding time is still before 7:55pm and they are not entertaining any late comers, though they knew that it was due to typhoon!!
They can delay the flight, but they just wouldn't have any attendants to standby for late comers even though bad weather. And all this is because of they are budget-airline. They just don't offer such services to entertain these so-called of extras :/ How pity, huh?!
So, I decided not to leave the airport as that night stil hoisting typhoon#3..
So I spent a night in airport...
Then, I need to buy new tickets back to Penang still.. Okok.. Going to spend me another lump sum if money :/
And the worst nightmare is they don't have flight on 30sep! What the heck???
Checking on other airlines, but that would cost me a chunk instead of a lump only :( :( I just can't imagine that instead of having budget-travelling, I ended up need to spend more than I could have thought! :( So, no way. I'm not to spend anymore, otherwise I can declare myself bankrupt when I got back to Penang. Bankrupt is not due to shop til I drop in HKG but is all pay to airline.. So, I told myself no way.. NO!!
I need to spend ANOTHER NIGHT in HKIA.. That's it!
So, let me rot, let me stink, let me sick, and just let it be.. And I guess I would be phobia of going to airport, any airport in short period of this incident.
Reporting done.
Stinky in HKG,
