Can’t go home just yet….

Hey Everyone,

No luck again today.  We spent the day at the check in counters for 3 flights and could not get on any of them.  The first one was early this morning and the second and third were for Montreal but could not get on that one either.  The aiport is crazy and all the flights are over-booked.  For the first Montreal flight there were about 25 of us stand by passengers.  For the second Montreal flight, there were about 22 of us.  One lady was pretty upset as this is the 5th day that she’s tried to leave here unsuccessfully.  It’s pretty bad.  They only considered the actual employees but companions like Deniz and I were turned down.  We spent from 7:30am to about 4pm lining up and then waiting by the desk….trying desperately to get on a flight.  What upsets us both is that yesterday they mentioned giving us jump seats and sent us to the gate.  It was there that they rejected the idea saying it was not allowed.  Today’s Toronto flight took 2 passengers via the jump seats.  They just assigned them at the check in counter.  So why was this not allowed for us yesterday??  We both feel that if the people working yesterday knew something we may have been home already instead of stuck here.   So, tomorrow is the same routine.  There is one flight to Toronto and two to Montreal.  We have already been told the picture does not look good as the Toronto flight has been overbooked by 21 seats and the 2 Montreal flights are much the same.  We were told though that Tuesday, everything drops off and is light.  So while we will try again for all 3 flights tomorrow, there’s a chance we may not get home until Tuesday.  It is incredible how booked up everything is.  We cannot even go to another country and then fly from there home.  Everything out of here is over-booked.  If the Toronto flight falls through again, then hopefully we can get on a Montreal flight.  Being in Montreal will present many more options to us than being here in Paris.  We can look at the train or bus too.

Well….we certainly had a couple of ill-timed events on this trip.  The other was the visit by a member of parliament to Istanbul while we were there that clogged up the roads.  Because of this persons visit it closed many roads and made every taxi ride a long and expensive one.  Now this.  But i’m still not going to let it ruin all the good stuff on this trip as i mentioned in my previous blog.

  1. We are wishing you all the luck you deserve for still being so positive Mark! I will go and check if the Air France web site for retirees has a section for posting blogs and forward it to you so that you can post your blogs on that site and become our spokesperson!

    Maybe that will do the trick and the retirees will ask the ground staff to be more considerate and cooperative towards us and our loved ones! Afterall, they will soon be in the same boat!

    Best of luck tomorrow morning on the Toronto flight and come hope before the balloons you left home (4 of us) are deflated again!

    Love,

    Ruhat

  2. Stuck in Paris, can’t make it to work… Ya, that sounds bad… NOT! Just in case, if someone walks up to you saying “Voulez-vous du thé?” say OUI, I’d love some tea.

  3. Thank goodness, you are young and have the energy to deal with the long waits and frustration. 2 positive people is the best combo there could be, and that’s you two, for sure. The good news, is, you can’t be stuck there forever. See you..soon.

  4. Best of luck on finding a flight home – we are waiting for you – guess Pierre won’t be able to do your review tomorrow and you will miss the pizza lunch for the team – and I also made chocolate brownies for tomorrow – oh well Paris is better- right?
