Frequent Traveller #107: Sala Cap de Falco Ibiza

in travel •  7 years ago 

Sala Cap de Falco Ibiza

When we arrived at the airport in Ibiza something really annoying happened. First I had to go through a Bomb check (well which was only 20 seconds, but I probably looked so damaged after the party) and my flight was displayed as delayed for 3 hours. I went right away to the lounge at Gate 1 and entered the lounge with my Lounge Invitation

After waiting for 2 hours the Airline announced that the flight is delayed for another 4 hours. Problem was I had to be in Germany in the morning, as I had promised a friend to meet him there. So I searched for other flights. Luckily Germanwings Flight to Cologne was available and I booked myself a new flight and was on my way to Cologne shortly after. My friends who were on the same flight got a free Hotel, as the initial flight I was booked onto was finally cancelled.

Has your flight ever been delayed ???

@knozaki2015 - I feel sad to hear that your flight got delayed by 2+4 hours! The good part is that you got to experience the lounge. The lounge entrance does look festive and the interior very calming because of the lighting scheme. I hope you got some much needed rest at least. The bomb check experience is never pleasant but I guess it is a necessary evil for our own safety. I have been delayed for more than 26 hours at Mumbai airport in India because the nose wheel steering jammed as the plane was accelerating for take off. With a mighty jarring impact, we lurched to a halt and sat dead on the runway for 6 hours because the aircraft could not even be towed. Then, 18 more hours for parts to be flown in from Singapore and repair. It was a nightmare..

Since crypto markets are red, I am not watching them. Instead, I have focused on improving my blogs. I have posted an interesting blog about Human vs animal eye capabilities, based on my original photos of wildlife. I request you to take a look when you have time and give your comments. It will help me improve my blogs and enrich my Steemit experience.

he did.

@digitalplayer - Sorry - could not understand your comment.

That's a long flight delayed you had. I never ever experience such late delay before, usually is 1 to 2 hours delayed. It must be very frustrated to see your flight delayed. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy in Cologne.

Flights delay is common problem here.

Your post is really amazing, I am very motivated with your post. Thank for sharing, good luck.

did you met your friend.. if so the new booking is worth... any way thanks for sharing you experience

Incredible. Upvoted. Resteemed.

no i have never had a flight delayed by more than 30 minutes and never cancelled -- touch wood -- i am sure my time will come --best of luck for the rest of your travels

Oh shit, what a bad luck followed up by the good luck of the cologne flight being there for you :D

Once I had a flight that was delayed for 8 hours, and the annoying part was that they delayed the flight 1 hour at the time, so every time we were so excited that the hour had almost past so we could finally fly and go home, and then we got news that the flight was delayed again and again and again. The good part about this journey was that my mom got all 3 the flight tickets refunded for 75% because of the delay, and we got free ice cream - I was 12 then, I was really happy with the ice :) -

Hopefully my 4 flights I have in 2 weeks will run smoothly :D

Beautiful!

Too many times already my flight got delayed... What I do? I don't take it too serious and don't blame anyone... Sometimes life is easier if you don't take it too serious! Shit happens... Now we got Steemit at least, whenever there is a delay :D hahha

This experience most have been foretasting been at the airport but how was the overall trip was it great been there ? thanks for the share and i also followed

Aiii that's not nice! Did you get any compensation still @knozaki2015?

I've had some flight delays as well. Some with me as the delayed 'object' and two with my suitcase coming a few flights later than me.

I did have quite a well fixed delay experience though. Had a delay so I missed my connecting flight in Jakarta. They immediately were able to book me on the next flight. Luckily that one went only 2 hours later than my original flight :-)

sometimes you have to endure the bad for having
a great time :) Eviiiiissaaa

My flight has never been cancelled but in India here the delay of the trains is a common problem and they even get cancelled frequently. This creates a lot of trouble to us. And like you booked another flight at the moment but it is not with trains here.BTW Recently I uploaded my india tour blog, please have a visit and explore my beautiful country India.

upvoted your last post

Thanx a lot dear.

Your post is really amazing, and inspiring too

Sometimes the good reason behind everything,and if not good then we should try to find out good one and try to be happy..because i think eachone should try to be happiest...

i have never had any terrible flight delayed and never cancelled . Safe travel!

I have never been delayed in ibiza thankfully. Other places yes. Its a pain in the chuff! Saying goodbye to the island is never easy!

Special theme Good Regards, Please, thank you

Suppose you were actually lucky that the flight was cancelled in the end, because if it was just for the delay you wouldn't receive any compensation, with the cancelling you should even though you weren't planning to catch that flight after the delay

yes I already claimed the 250 euros ;)

Oh that must be one of the worst experience ever dear @knozaki2015! I have had flight delays but for short time only! Not for hours like you!
The worst is if you have connecting flight on the other hand! That can become quite complicated!

nice travel posting~
