All those low cost airline like frontier and spirit they will frustrate you life. The worst is that you pay ticked later you pay for seat then luggage.if on transit you pay for seat again even boarding right. To avoid stress is fly united or AA. |

Schrodinger2: Check your ticket again to see when boarding ends because once the door is closed, they can't open it for anyone to come in. Hope you were placed on another flight for free? I guess I have missed too many flights to be bothered about missing flights provided they are domestic as I am sure they would put me on the next flight (waiting list). But I wouldn't want to miss a Frontier flight since they don't go to all their destinations daily. One incident I will never forget because I had to pay for another flight was those days Arik Air flies Lagos-New York direct. It was 2013 and I was going to Canada through New York. I had flown Arik Air from JFK to Lagos when returning from the US and the flight door was closed at 12 noon for a 12:15pm flight so I felt they were always consistent not knowing they are only consistent on the JFK-LOS trip. I booked Delta Airline for 4 hours past our arrival time at New York and behold, on the day I was to fly back to JFK, boarding was to start from 10:50pm and we did not start boarding until 11:50pm. I slept off before takeoff only to wake up around 3:50am and realized we were still in LOS. They said they were waiting for the various flights bringing passengers from other neighboring countries. We eventually left around 5am. Getting to JFK, I ran to the Delta Stand and was told since I didn't buy the tickets together, it was a case of no show and I have to book a new flight and it was going to cost me about a thousand since I was flying same day however, they could take to me Salt Lake City for free but the SLC-YYC leg, I need to book. While waiting to board the SLC ticket, I stopped by a computer shop (more or less a business center with a cyber cafe in it) in JFK and paid to browse. I decided to check flights directly from JFK-YYC and luckily, I got one from LGA-YYC on United for about $263 with a stopover in Denver, my best stopover airport because of the free calls you can make to anywhere in the world with a 10minute limit (I repeat the calls and once 10minutes is over, I call again). Thinking of this experience now, I can laugh however, back then, it was a big pain for me. 5 Likes |

I missed my first flight yesterday too. I had to book with another airline and paid double the amount the initial one. Pain me eh. But the fact that I could brag about it in my song is enough ( got an EP coming up next year) Punchlines like "Heartbroken like when I missed my first flight" sounds cool so I'm definitely gonna use that as a way to console myself 1 Like |

Typical Nigerian carelessness, you arrived airport early enough, everyone knows how slow airport scrutiny could be, so one has to be early and attentive. You decided to pray in a chapel when you could do your prayers or devotion quietly in your heart, or in the spirit where you were seated or wait to board to do same. Too much religious rituals, with little virtue on the inside. |

Sorry to say but are you flying for the first time. Listen to yourself. You got to the airport at 3am. And then what. Looking for prayer place. Is Airport your house even moslems will owe the prayer and pray it later. Then mumudity, two, you checked in and did not enter departure lounge like your other mates. Dont you know you can be randomly selected for detailed search. So a plane at 6.45 you want to pass security 6am and somehow make boarding at 6.20. You are not serious. Schrodinger2: |
