Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Right, so getting your leave changed - or getting additional leave is going to be a problem This is so crap. I'm really sorry this is happening. The universe is being a s*it. It can do that sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not really. I mean, I'll take him however I can get him here but that puts us out of two days worth of a hotel we paid for plus I don't know if CS could take additional time off. I couldn't.

Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 They might even be able to give you a refund for those two days.. Having two days less when you don't have heaps of time to begin with is total crap and I honestly can't even imagine how heartbreaking this is but you will both get through this .. and hopefully people around you will be as understanding and accomodating as they can be to help you guys out. I'm so sorry .. I don't even know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 No, the hotel has a no refund policy. I suppose I could cancel the card the rooms were coming off of... thank you Circe. Right now I'm in about a million pieces and not very optimistic. I'm far from optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 No.. well noone could ask you to feel anything different at this point in time. But I know you two can get each other through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrogirl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm so sorry hon. I have no doubt if he can find a way to you, he will do it. Just don't fall to pieces yet, anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm so sorry hon. I have no doubt if he can find a way to you, he will do it. Just don't fall to pieces yet, anything could happen. They are like inching along. They are move five feet but then stopping for 2o minutes. He can see the planes taking off, he thinks they are about 15 miles from the airport but his flight leaves in 40 minutes. It's just so ridiculous.

Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm praying there's a long take off delay and the traffic continues to get better. Maybe he should be prepared to ditch all his luggage except hand luggage maybe so he can save time on check in. After a point they close things off. Sometimes if you arrive after that point they can make an exception ESP if you don't have to worry about luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 I don't pray but I am now. 30 minutes until take off, I don't see a miracle happening. He only has one suitcase and his laptop, which is his carry on. It's not going to happen today. I need to stop thinking he'll get there at the last second because it's not going to happen in 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Although if he is on his own in a taxi that's not too feasible. Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 He's on a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You prolly need to focus on developing plan B. If the plane leaves in 30 gates will close in 10. I think you have to plan for the Thursday flight and hope a space pops up on one of the earlier ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm so sorry - If he can be placed on a wait list it's still possible he might get a flight today or tomorrow. I'm praying for a two hour delay on his flight. As metro said anything can happen btw now and what we know is the worst case scenario .. That he comes on thurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Tom's turned up about 10 minutes before the flight is due before and has managed to get on. I'm so sorry OG, really crappy situation, can only imagine how you must be feeling. Even if he had to come a bit later, if you had to just not go on your honeymoon for now, would that be a possibility? Like if he came a week or so later, you just got married and didn't get to spend as much time together but got to do your honeymoon another time? I know this must be devastating and that's no help though, I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 His flight takes off in six minutes. No miracle this time. It's honestly at that point were I don't even want to plan a 'what if' scenario because what's the point? He isn't coming. There are no guarantees for the Thursday flight. Sure, I'll take him for a week rather than nothing but why even get my own hopes up? I went to bed so happy and excited... amazing what 4 hours can do to a person.

KH26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm so so sorry, I don't even know what to say. I'd feel the same, wouldn't be able to think about what to do next either. I'm really sorry, wish I could think of more to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I wish I could give you a ten hour hug. When he finally gets to the airport it should get much clearer and much more concrete re: whether he can come. I know you don't want to get your hopes up but please don't lose all hope just yet.. I know it's easier said .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well his flight officially left. So no miarcle. Thanks universe. We are still going to see about the new few days but I don't think either of us is holding out hope at this point. Realistically it looks like October before we see each other.

KH26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I reeeeeeeally hope something comes up in the next week! Sorry if you've already said but was the flight from Heathrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circe Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm speechless and so angry with the world for you right now. I'm still hoping something can be salvaged though and you won't have to wait till October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Oh so hopefully there'll be more flights from there than maybe some of the other London airports? Sorry, I really don't know how these things work though, haven't flown that much really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 There are plenty, the problem is with them being booked already and they always over book flights (in case of no shows). If he were to get on a waiting list he would have to stay at the airport, and that could be until Thursday. I"m so sick of the situation that it's made me sick, literally. My stomach is so upset and I would love to just be able to sleep the next few hours away and dream of a miracle but I can't sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ah yeah I've heard that about over booking. I wouldn't be able to sleep either. Could you have a lay down? Would that help at all? Is he still in the traffic now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
