A5 #PTTravel Pity VLM is no more! On a flight to Antwerp, they mislaid my bag. They gave me a toiletry kit and a T-shirt, noted where I was staying. I went directly to the meeting ... and, on checking in at the hotel, my bag was waiting for me, having been sent on a later flight

A5 #PTTravel Once when my flight was canceled, I find this out at the airport. They were going to leave me in limbo (standby). I asked the clerk if anything was available on another carrier & to her credit she found something. I told the airline they needed more like her.

@SoloTravelStory @kate_frankie #pttravel yes, sometimes. I'm not fond of *beaches* but I like being by the sea (usually on clifftop footpaths or coastal woodlands).

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. I don’t tend to expect much in the way of customer service. Having worked in hospitality for too many years I try extremely hard to keep my stupid questions and unsolicited opinions to myself. Just give me an approximation of what I paid for and I’m good. #PTTravel

replying to @SoloTravelStory @SoloTravelStory @kate_frankie TV totally helps me to zone out - so if I've had a long day, I love just chilling out. And since I live in the countryside with no delivery services, getting something to the door is a rare treat ;-) #PTTravel

A5: When my flight was overbooked in Toronto and I was bumped on the next one 12 hours later, the customer agent from Air Canada was really understanding and made it all feel painless when he offered me a check for 800 dollars. I couldn't leave the airport though. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I typically don't stay in such hotels (except during work trips) but that one felt good after having lived in hostels and doing couchsurfing for a few months #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith That's really good. When you have a meeting, its awful losing your bag. Great service #PTTravel

A6: Don't stress, things out of your control happen. Just do what you can to make it better instead of getting frustrated. My flight last month was cancelled, I just enjoyed one more day in Portugal, booked a new flight and asked for compensation when I got back home #PTTravel
BPackersGuide
A6 Don't Panic 😉 which sometimes is easier said than done. But the way you approach a problem has a huge impact on you. You cannot change the problem itself (a late train, a canceled flight and so so) but you can change how you deal with it #pttravel

A6 #pttravel Try not to lose your rag; explaining your problem/grievance calmly and politely always yields better results that yelling and threatening to give a bad write-up on TripAdvisor!

Hard to remember at the time but you can’t control everything no matter how hard you try so prepare well and then go with the flow! #PTTravel

A6 #PTTravel Keep your cool, because that only makes things worse. Also, know what your rights are. They won’t volunteer that information. I knew I could ask for a flight on another carrier, but many people don’t know that. Knowledge is power.

A6 #PTTravel One more thing, let the airline know you’re unhappy. They will probably send you a credit you apply to another flight.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6. Try not to take your frustrations out on anyone else, whether it’s your travel companion, someone just trying to do their job or family, friends and followers who maybe don’t have the same opportunities. You’re supposed to be travelling, move on. #PTTravel
