ticketless

I've never been ticketless for a trip I was about to take.

We have some friends who were to depart overseas this week. They are older and a bit nervous about the extended flying time. But when they called to confirm their flight they found their tickets were never processed! They were literally not on the flight, they were ticketless!! Needless to say, this put a real damper on the whole trip before it ever got started. There were other problems that precipitated this current ordeal, but they eventually got tickets and left only one day later than planned.

In their quest to scurry and rebook their trip, travel info was of prime importance. Normally locating as cheap airline tickets as possible would have been a higher priority. But as the departure date was close at hand, finding cheap flights was not their main concern.

After much grief, they were able to reschedule their itinerary. They did have to change airlines along the way, but were off yesterday. We are awaiting word on their safe arrival.

That I'd like to see.
