Ja, da stod man dar pa Frankfurts flygplats, gate B28, efter att ha atit en overprisar "frankfurter & potato sallad".
Till en borjan hade man gott hopp om att komma med, overbokat ar det ju alltid. Sedan samlades fler och fler id passagerare... inte lika kul langre, speciellt eftersom de flesta var fran Lufthansa och de har naturligtvis foretrade.
Sedan brakade datasystemet ihop! Lysande! Verkligen bra.... nu sprang personalen i gaten fram o tillbaka, alldeles rodmosiga i ansiktet. De "vanliga" passagerarna fick ga ombord till slut o nu fick det bli rakning for hand.... Nar det var 10 min till avgang borjade letandet efter lediga saten for oss stand by passagerare. For er som aldrig flugit med dessa biljetter sa ar det nog svart att forsta hur man slits mellan hopp o fortvivlan o tillbaka till hopploshet for att sedan kanske se ljuset i tunneln....
Nar klockan slog 22.35, avgangstiden stod jag o en till o hoppades fa plats. "Ryden" nasta pa listan, sista platsen. SPRING!!!!" Adrenalinet sprutade ur oronen medan jag la benen pa ryggen ner mot planet!! Men jag kom med! Stackarn som blev kvar, det maste kants sa surt!
Jag hamnade vid fonsterplats... Men jag klagar inte, det kan man bara inte gora efter att betalat 60 euro....hahaha.
Nar vi kom upp i luften tog min "granne" av sig skor o sockar!! En outhardig stank spred sig pa rad 37.... Nu var jag inburad OCH med denna lukt! Men jag klagar inte som sagt... ;) Sedan vagrade bada mina "grannar" att lyfta pa hacken nar man skulle ga pa toa, sa jag fick klattra over dem med hjalp av armstoden, precis som ett litet barn! Da kandes de EXTRA bra att vara id passagerare.....eh......
Men 10 timmar senare kom jag i alla fall fram! 29 grader o mulet. Det var forsta gangen jag landade pa Bangkoks nya flygplats. Mycket fin! Passkontrollsystemet hade de ordnat perfekt o vantetiden var kort. Sedan kom jag ju da fram till vaskan... eller? Nej, den var naturligtvis inte med.... Men pa 5 roda sekunder var allt fixat av Thai airways personal. Jag fanns tydligen med pa en lista, de visste redan att min vaska inte kommit med. Den kommer imorgon, da kor de den till hotellet.
Sa nu sitter jag pa Khao san road utan tandborste..... ;) men som sagt jag kan inte klaga.... :)
Frankfurt airport, gate B28. I had hanged around for abot 5 hours, eating overpriced food and just wandering around, waiting for the clock to hit around 21.30 when boarding started.
The group of passengers with stand by tickets grew.... most of them from Lufthansa, which is not good for me.... Time went slow. Then, when we at least wanted it: a computer break down! Yes, wonderful! If the gate staff didn't have a lot to do before, they sure did now.....
The time came for the "stand by:s" Lufthansa staff, one after another. Then, "Ryden, last seat. RUN!!!" was heard. YES I got it! The poor lady standing beside me had to see the plane leave without her.... Tough!
I got in, sat down and took a deep breath. I was on my way to Thailand, just a few seconds from being left on ground!
Now I had these "wonderful" neighbours beside me. One of them decided to take her shoes and socks off. It was a HORRIBLE stench that spread and stayed throut the entire flight! Then they refused to move as I wanted to go to the bathroom. So I had to CLIMB over these people! Amazing really.... To visit the toilet two times during a 10 hour flight isn't that much according to me.... but if you are sitting "comfy" on your ass, I guess people just don't move.....
But I got here! Without my bag of course, but I had almost expected that after the stress in Frankfurt. It's coming tomorrow, so I just have to go and buy a tooth brush for tonight I guess..... ;)
