RE: What Can You Learn From These Terrible Travel Experiences?

in #travel7 years ago

We were having a great Honeymoon in Paris, until we went to the airport for our second half of the trip. It was Orly (ORY) airport West terminal. We thought we had a ton of time. When the shuttle stopped, nobody got off at the first terminal- so we stayed on. We got off the shuttle at the other terminal. Soon after we found out that the first terminal WAS ours and too far to walk. West = Ouest. We jumped on a shuttle, which was super slow going through EVERY parking lot. We made it with around an hour left to takeoff. They refused to let us on. Another couple came and complained their luggage was on the plane. After a ton of arguing, they actually went and retrieved the other couple's luggage instead of letting all of us on. Then we had to go to middle of Paris and get a ticket for the Chunnel. Basically cost us $600, plus what we paid for the original ticket, and a day lost in London- which was only a few days in the first place. Needless to say, We had a 6am flight back to the US from Heathrow & instead of getting up super early in our beautiful hotel (compared to Paris), we slept at the Heathrow terminal so we didn't miss it

oh am sorry that ruined your honeymoon.
