So I missed my flight back home!
First time I've done this. I know many people don't ever want to take the blame, but seriously this wasn't my fault. Here's how it went down.
My flight was scheduled to leave at 1020 in the morning. I knew I had to be at the airport by 8/830. I took the airport shuttle from Suwon at around 645am.
Traffic was brutal coming in and I got to Incheon at about 815. I get inside and ask I proceed to go to check-in, and the lady asks me where my destination is. I tell her, and she says I'm at the wrong check-in line. So I go to the one she tells me to go to, stand there for 40 minutes, get to the front, only to hear that this was the wrong one, and that the one I was at originally was the correct one.
:/
So I go back there, and luckily there's no line. The lady starts checking me in, but then tells me I have to go to immigration first. I knew I would have to go there so no problem. I wait for about 15 minutes, and then the lady tells me that the lady at check in should've given me my ticket first. Well by this time, there's a half hour left before I leave and it's pretty much a lost cause.
And I take what I said in the first few sentences back. Perhaps I could've left a bit earlier considering it is a weekday and traffic would've been worse.
Also I was VERY frustrated at first. I'm not the person that goes "ghetto", but I was quite close for the first time in a long time. The ebonics was starting to come out a bit. But I afterwards, I figured I can't do anything about it now. Might as well enjoy another day here in Korea. I'm going to try to find a hotel and get some rest.
I'm now on stand by for the same flight just tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll get on! Update later.
UPDATE:
So I stayed in a nice hotel last night...got some rest. Woke up this morning and thankfully I was able to get a seat on the flight this morning. I'm to Detroit! Hopefully be back in the ROK this summer. Peace yall.
