RE: Miss. Opinionated : The woes of Travel - Budget Airlines
@sharingeverybite and I made the mistake of traveling to and from SteemFest on a budget airline. Never again!
We flew from Phoenix to San Francisco on a local airline, then flew out of San Francisco to Amsterdam on a budget airline called WOW. Things went fine on the way there. But, on the way back...
We flew with WOW back to San Francisco, with a short layover in Iceland. Well, what was supposed to be a short layover in Iceland turned into an overnight stay with a 24-hour delay. This long delay caused us to miss our flight from San Francisco to Phoenix, which forced us into buying expensive last-minute tickets for that final leg of the trip.
It's now eight months later and we're still trying to get compensated by WOW.
We learned our lesson and have our flights booked on a quality airline for SteemFest2.
Ahh shenanigator, sorry to hear about your bad experiences, but at least it is a not so expensive (in the long run) learned right?
It's such a nightmare when you are on a long haul flight and you absolutely hate the service that you're getting, because then it's a really long time before you can quickly get off and get on with life.
I really prefer to have ease of mind, if at the cost of paying just a bit more :)
