So I finally got to Sweden. Me and Dianna checked out of Hotel Helvetie in Montreux after eating a health breakfast....ha ha ha...and went to the train station. We said good bye and I got on the train. When I got to the airport to check in, the woman at the counter said that there wouldn´t be a problem to get on cuz there was enought empty spaces onboard. That´s what she tought. I waited at the gate until everyone had gone onboard and the people that was collecting the tickets said that one person was missing but she had checked in. If she didn´t arrive, I would get her seat! We waited....and waited....and waited,and after about 15 minutes a flight attendant came running telling the other staff that the woman was already on the plane! I mean, common! are you people educated or do you pretend to be stupid just to piss me off? Honestly?
Anyways, to make a long story short, the man told be he would put me on the next flight that left at 20.00. IT WAS 11.45 at this point!!!! So I sat down at the gate and called my dad. While I was on the phone the staff started waving their arms at me! Turns out that the check in counter made a misstake and they had a seat available and I was the only stand by passanger that was still at the gate! Everyone else had left! so I got the seat! And because we were waiting for "the missing woman" the flight was deleyed so by the time we got to Copenhagen I hade to run to the next flight, It´s gonna be awhile before I travel standby again!
