Our family holiday finally came around after booking it 1year in advance lol, we where all so exicted and just couldn't wait to get their, sunny queensland. Well the day started off VERY BAD, we missed our flight due to accidents on the outlet, the traffic was backed-up heaps. We decided to go via taroona but that took as long, maybe even longer.....we kept looking at our watch and saying "are we going to make it" but missed check-in by 10mins. Their was no other flights that day and could only get on the same flight the next day (as thats what they told us), at this stage i (muff) was very upset and in alot of tears. I then searched the net and found another flight Jetstar had leaving later that day at 1:10pm, so i asked the ppl at the counter and apprantely we couldn't get on that flight as it was a different route to the gold coast to what we where on (very weird and stupid)...!! But after the lady talking to someone they allowed us to get on that flight YYYYAAAAHHHH all smiles round - we can finally fly out the day we where suppose to!!
finally ready to fly and start our holiday
