UGH

just missed my flight from rome to ny. i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad right now. i had an hour layover, so it was already going to be tight. also, alitalia did what no other airline i've EVER flown with has done, and made me retrieve my luggage halfway through my trip because i was going to be changing airlines. i've taken multi-airline trips on multiple occassions and they've NEVER asked me to retrieve my luggage when i switched airlines.

anyway i go to get my luggage from baggage check, and see that the luggage for the flight from nice will be conveyor belt 9. so i go to belt 9 and wait. and wait. and wait. suddenly it's 20 minutes before i'm supposed to be on my flight and i'm freaking out. then it's about 15 minutes before my flight leaves when some alitalia rep comes up to the belt and goes "we are sorry, we made a mistake, your luggage is actually on belt 11."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! so i go, and sure enough, my bag is just sitting there. i pick it up and run to the delta counter and they've already left for the gate, and security won't let me through with my luggage. so now i'm [censored], and i'm sitting here waiting for someone to come to the delta counter so i can, i dunno, get on the next flight i guess. i don't know if i have to pay for the extra flight or not. GOOD TIMES.

anyway, a [censored] ending to a great trip. yesterday was a lot of fun. it's too bad this had to happen. and somehow i just knew, when alitalia was making me pick up my bags in rome, that some stupid [censored] was going to happen. and sure enough, here i am. sigh. i'll update when i learn more.
