We’ve all had those “oh s*%t” moments! This week I was following fellow travel blogger, Just Another Points Traveler<\/a> and her dad’s travel woes unfold. Like all of us, he made an honest mistake \u2013 his flight was at 1:30am and when he showed up at the airport that night for check-in he realized that this flight departed that morning, at 1:30am. I’ve come close to doing that a few times!<\/p>\n

On one of my first major international trips, I flew from Bangkok to Switzerland. My flight left Bangkok on December 9th<\/sup> just shortly after midnight. I didn’t really pay enough attention to the ticketing information and booked a hotel in Zurich for Dec 10 arrival. Little did I realize, I would land in Zurich on December 9th<\/sup> the same day I departed Bangkok. Luckily for me, the Marriott I where I was staying in Zurich had rooms available and gave me the same rate that I booked for the remaining days.<\/p>\n

I’ve had those moments created for me when others have booked my travel. I had someone in a corporate travel department, who had very little international experience, book a connection through the UK. The only problem was that one flight landed at LHR and the other departed from LGW and there was only a 2 hour connection window. Luckily for me I caught that one before the final ticket was booked! That would have been a nightmare.<\/p>\n
