Made any travel mistakes lately?

[serfty]

Nearly made one yesterday when I forgot to do the Singapore arrivals card until the Captain announced commencing descent into Singapore. Fortunately have done a few so got it done and submitted. Got the successful message and about 30 seconds later the wifi was turned off.

It's not too bad in Changi if you forget. They have a section before immigration in each of the arrival halls with tablet devices where you can do this. Still, you saved some time.

And Mrsdrron’s wrath.

Lost 17k KF miles on a cancellation, was unavoidable in the end but still stings.

Not to mention the USD125 ...

In my excitement to lock in DSC, I booked a trip to CDG on a Y Sale Fare (couldn't get budget approval for PE or J).

I completely forgot that Sale Fares are not eligible for upgrade requests (should have booked Saver Fare instead).

Oh well.

Not a mistake yet but I've got a flight through Doha in August and I got an email today about "changes". I was thinking that it might have been cancelled due to the current situation in that part of the world (yeah I know it's months away) but it was just to tell me my flight will now land ten minutes earlier than originally scheduled!

24 hour cooling off period?

I've got a mate currently in DEL, who has DEL-DOH-AUH (J/F) in a few days (then AUH-DOH-LON (Y) the same day), all on QR. He's now booked ET DEL-ADD-LHR (Y) as a backup for £399.

There would still be a difference in fare which I would have to pay. I couldn't get budget approval for the difference anyway.

Left mobile on board, and Qantas found it (very happy). Is anyone travelling from Melbourne to Darwin who might be able to assist with transporting it to me? It's currently in Baggage Services at Melbourne Domestic. Alternative is to pay for Pack & Send which will take longer...

10-hour overnight layover at Changi turned into 15.5 hours thanks to a delay. It was over Christmas and I left it too late to book a transit hotel, and didn’t feel like I had enough time to go landside for a room. Ended up attempting a very uncomfortable 'sleep' in a chair in T3. Not my finest decision.
