Well everyone we finally made it! It has been a long trip. We waited for the second flight in Toronto for 5 hours then they ignored us some more. Finally, when it looked like we were not going to get on that flight we went and talk to the one lady that was helpful and nice earlier in the day. She was shocked to see us and started taking things in to her own hands. After she left she told us another lady knew what was going on and was going to help us. Next thing we know we are booked on a flight to London, and then another flight out of London to Frankfurt.
We quickly ran to the gate to catch the flight to London, as soon as we get on the plane we realized they booked us first class! It was wonderful! We got a big dinner and free drinks and we were in our own little cubical type areas. The chairs reclined in many ways and even layed out completely flat. Lucky for us. We were able to get a few hours of sleep before getting woke up for breakfast before we landed. We started to feel better about our trip until we arrived in London.
As soon as we got to London, we folllowed all of the signs that lead us all over to the connecting flights it felt like we were on a maze. We got to the counter we were told to go to and then they sent us to another counter. And guess what they told us we had to go to another terminal and talk to air canada and get a boarding pass from them and then come back to that terminal. So we went back out of security went to the other terminal but got an escort through security then long story short we had to go back to the exact counter we came froml. Cherise and I were so tired of it all that when we finally got on the plane going to Frankfurt we were relived.
We were very happy to finally arrive in Frankfurt even though our bags did not make it. We hoped on a train to take us to our hotel after asking for help. Needlessn to say we got a littl mixed up and we got off the train WAY to EARLY and walked across Frankfurt with out Carry on Bags. As soon as we reached our hotel we both showered and then went out exploring for a little while. We ate pizza and our now back at our hotel.
Hope you guys enjoy reading about our long, crazy, tiring adventure. More to come!
They wouldn't put you on the flight because they wanted you to travel with your bags, but when you get to Germany they don't have your bags! GJ Air Canada eh?
