Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been given new flight details and I am actually flying tomorrow. Would you believe it's exactly the same flight with BA?

I was delayed in Skipple. So Skipple, am I saying it right? So my flight to Seattle was delayed by seven hours which meant that I was going to miss my collecting flight to Juno.

I was running around Malta at 1:00 a.m. with 40 kilos of luggage trying to find a hotel that has room for me.

I had COVID. I had managed not to catch it the whole time and then the day before I was supposed to join the Valiant Lady, I got COVID.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check flight details thoroughly, including baggage allowance and connection times.

βœ“Pack one of everything in each bag in case of lost luggage.
βœ“Keep baggage claim tickets and inform the airline immediately if a bag is lost.
