What a day!

Well today was a full blown nightmare. My dad called about 2:45 to ask me if my flight had been canceled. He had gotten some sort of text message saying that a British Airways flight was canceled and he assumed it was mine. All of this was news to me. I had zero communication whatsoever from any airline at that point. Checked online and I could see the flights from Seattle to London but nothing after that. Called the reschedule line and talked on and off with a nice gentleman named Kevin for the better part of 3 hours. In the end Kevin said his hands were essentially tied and he wasn’t able to switch anything around because of availability in a specific class or something like that. He suggested that I call the actual airline because there wasn’t anything he could do on his end. After an additional hour and a half wait to talk to someone at the airlines while I essentially spiraled that my entire summer plans weren’t going to be possible I finally got someone on the line. With a few clicks of a button and all the rescheduled options that Kevin had found for me it was set at around 7:45PM . I now leave a day early, will spend 9 hours in London before setting off for Lisbon where I’ll spend an extra night before venturing to Porto the next day. I’ll spend one night in Porto and then will be off on my adventure early the next day. While I’m leaving Lisbon 3 hours earlier than I was initially scheduled for, I now am spending 23.5 hours in London so I’ll get a day off exploring and a night at Kristi’s new place.. silver linings. Now just keep the good vibes to ensure that no more flights get canceled. 3 days! Ready or not, here I come!
