My wife has been chomping at the bit to travel again. So she booked a bus tour of southern Ireland with west jet. Her friend booked her own ticket.. Her friends ticket was $500 return nonstop Halifax to Dublin. Danielle you have to book soon as the flight was filling up. Day later she books $836 return. All arrangements made couple months ago. They wait the time and load the flight. They are off to Ireland 4 of them. Ireland covid numbers are similar to Ont . Dublin #s are like Ottawa.. All 4 were double masked all the time except for 2 suppers where 100 people were unmasked. Needless to say on the second last day shes not feeling the best. Stick up the nose trick. POSITIVE. The other 3 are negative. Filled out her Arrivecan app . saying she has covid. First mistake but the right move. Her 3 travel partners fly out and were not asked any question about covid at airport. They were asked one question... Had they filled out their Arrive can app. YES YES YES. Off they go.
Wife calls west jet. for 3 hrs the phone only rang and was never answered. Jumps on a bus to airport . West jet counter says they cant help her. Needs to call the phone line. Returned to hotel calls for several hrs west jet. No answer. So she say @@@@ it I will book a new flight.
So back in Halifax her 3 travel partners are getting in.They all get home and then 2 of the 3 are not feeling well. Guess what POSITIVE POSITIVE
During her fever and headache and runny nose she looks for a return flight. Same flight same time in 5 days. Got a deal on it as it was a no cancellation no change flight. She has all the insurances but needs to get a covid test from a hospital so her covid insurance will kick in. She does that. Over the next few days she gets better and tested negative . Yesterday out for a short walk for medication has a panic attack as no one is wearing a mask anywhere . She runs back to her room and spends the day watching Judge Judy. So today 24 hrs prior to flight she tries to check in.
Sorry you can't check in as you are too early ...YOUR FLIGHT IS 15 DAYS AWAY.......WTF . She booked the wrong day. . Frantically calling and looking for a flight there was 2 seat available tomorrow Saturday.
She has said her travelling days are done.. The travel bug will return .
She not home yet still 27 hrs left to screw up again.
Hopefully I don't have a to add more to the story.
Good thing her travel account had grown over 2 years of not travelling. But bet its getting low now.
