43 People Share Unfortunate Travel Mistakes We Can All Learn From

I have had some ridiculously long delays on travel before in my day, and while in some ways the waiting can seem like a curse, it’s also something of a reassurance to know no flight is ever leaving on time. I can’t remember the last flight that actually left when scheduled for me; it’s been years.

All that being said, given delays, crowds, and other such hiccups you run into (see above item about losing phone with all travel documents), it is in the broader sense more of a blessing so long as everyone is aware of how common it is.
