China Airlines

Note to self: To avoid unwanted hassle, reconfirm your flight at least 72 hours before departure.

I had been none too pleased that my flight was leaving at 3:30 AM on Thursday morning. This meant having to kill time with no place to put my bags. My only option appeared to be sitting in a bar for a few hours contemplating my return to Canada.

Just for kicks, I decided to check to see if my flight was leaving on time. Delhi is infamous for fog at this time and, hence, many a delayed flight. What I found turned out to be rather astonishing. For one, there was no flight at the time I was scheduled to leave. As you might expect, this caused my heart to leap into my throat. Apparently, the flight with the same number was now running on the 4th and 6th at 10:30 PM.

After trying to figure out what was going on and wondering if I would be able to get on the plane, I headed down to the China Airlines office. Luckily, it was only 20 minutes away.

I can honestly say that my dealings with this office may have been the best throughout my 7 months here. The lady I was dealing with didn't tell me, "No," or "It's not possible," like you hear so often. Instead, she was helpful and said, "There isn't a problem. What day did you want to fly?"

I would just like to extend my thanks to the office. The whole experience definitely made the day go a lot smoother.
