The New Zealand - Australia Odyssey

Even though I had to stand up for it by 3 clock in the morning, I was getting almost 2.5 hours before my flight to Australia at the airport. Unfortunately, a lot of people had the same idea so the snake seemed endless at check-in.

When I finally was then off, the employees asked me if I had a visa for Australia since and I said yes because I had applied for and approved online before the start of my trip around the world.

The problem was that both my passport and visa on my title (FH) appearing on my ticket does not!

Jedenfalls wollten sie mich auch nach Rücksprache mit dem Supervisor nicht fliegen lassen. Ich musste zum Ticketschalter um eine Änderung in meinem Ticket zu beantragen, der Angestellte suchte aber erneut um ein Visum ohne Titel an, was ich aber erst merkte als ich wieder am anderen Schalter stand und das Visum als abgelehnt aufschien. Es ging zurück zum Ticketschalter, wo er dann endlich die richtige Änderung durchführte, wohl gemerkt 15 Minuten vor Abflug!!!

Well we went back to the check in time the ticket to print and then accompanied by a staff to a special baggage carousel for Late Runner. Then I am and have been due to the 10 minute delay, the machine just to get my flight so her funneled through the security checkpoint from which I then about 500 m (perceived 5km) running to the gate!

Even so, I mentioned that my luggage could not be checked through to your destination airport Cairns because my travel agent had booked the second flight with another airline?

So, I was then had to get 2.5 hours for my luggage to go through passport control and then African australia check in for the new flight!

Sounds doable, but I had to do is take a bus which then even $ 5 wanted (which I had not, because there is no time to withdraw money) because I still had no new boarding pass.

Well, at least read the bus driver because of my pitiful facial expression but go free so I finally for the new check-in, which must be carried out on the designated machines. As it was to be expected, my booking number was not recognized and I was sent to the service desk .... There you wrote me a new confirmation code, which was then rejected on the machine again.

Finally, I could still check in at the counter and I thought that from now can only go uphill more. But I had not reckoned with the barely padded seats and a metal rod on back height on the plane. Anyway, I had like a three year old child about to sit on each flight behind me that continuously hämmmerte with his legs against the seat.

The mother was probably too busy with their other about 1 year old child, that the 2-hour flight through continuous bleated like a sheep.

When it was too much for me and she said the lady was pissed, but she screamed her two children because of other reasons to continue.

And now the photo that I took from the airplane, so you know, I still was able to finish well this fucking day. Great Barrier Reef here I come!
