Travelling from Austria to Croatia - got to the airport at 8pm for our 11 o’clock flight. Initially wasn’t concerned when our flight wasn’t showing on the boards. Became increasingly worried as time went on.
Spoke to the desk and were told the only flight to Croatia was 11AM that day… (Not 11pm)
Spent the night sleeping in the airport while waiting to check in to a airport hotel the next day as the next available flight to Croatia was 2 days after our original flight.
Used my bag as a pillow and accidentally broke some souvenirs we had bought. Cost us an extra $500 each in total for new flights and accomm as we had no travel insurance.
Sorry to hear you missed your flight - hope your experience isn’t too rough!
Sheesh, one thing after another! I’m sorry you had to go through that. Your poor souvenirs too.
Mine in comparison isn’t so bad. I overslept (I’m a dumbass, I missed like 5 alarms) but fortunately the airline called and said they’d rebook my flight. So after a very panicked morning rush to the airport, I’m back home now killing time while I wait for my evening flight.

Why didn’t you just take the train? Austria to Croatia isn’t a very long distance
That’s a good point - I’d say a mixture of stress and fatigue caused our brains to go to mush.
