Check mate, looks like my dream of diving the Mexican cenotes is still a dream as I sit in my mothering laws typing this post well pi**ed off.
I have not been back to the UK for over 4 years and I don’t plan on visiting again soon, the weather crap and so are the airports!!!
I had no problems until I got to the UK, Flying Phuket to Bangkok, Bangkok to Dubai, Dubai to London.
I just had an absolute nightmare at Birmingham airport in the UK on route to Mexico for some well earned holidays.
Its a long story but goes something like this. After check in I passed passport control and they refused to accept my rebreather as hand luggage, after long negotiation they insisted I check it in but it was not in a suitable bag for check in, so I was forced to remove my existing check bags and repack, after a one hour wait this was done and I was told I would have to check in again and start the process over. The only problem is in the bullshit process they released my seat to New York and the plane is now full!!!! What a joke. I am now on standby but cannot get a connecting flight on the same day to Huston. I’ve lost all patience and it looks like I’m lost in translation.
I really am pissed and to top it of my ticket is non-refundable and I will loose the airfare.
Just needed to get it off my chest,
If anyone fancies a dip in cold UK waters I’m stuck here until the 14th I promise I want moan to much.
Not such a great day.
