Delays, canceled flights, stranded passengers, What’s going on in Europe?
The air travel situation around Europe these past couple of weeks have been grim, with thousands of flight cancellations, tens of thousands of passengers stranded, and hours-long lines that reach the streets. What’s going on?... (www.aviationweekly.org) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I mistakenly booked a connection that was tight through Amsterdam (65 minutes) and had to go through passport control. The staff there were very accommodating and allowed us to move to the front of the line.
Turns out I did not need that accommodation as my connection was running about 30 minutes behind.

We once had a 30 minute connection in Frankfurt...it was crazy, but that airport has fantastic staff who were also very accomodating. But a year later in Calgary, I landed 20 minutes prior to my connecting flight (in the same domestic terminal) and they let the plane leave early...there were 8 of us stranded 6 hours as a result.
The staff attitudes are all over the map (literally) and make or break connections.

Klaus triples everything and no one raises wages. What do you think is going on?! Adah!
Not just Europe, try flying into Pearsons (Toronto) from out of country. You will sit on the tarmac for hours befor you can even exit the plane and then the caos starts.
Don't even need to read the story - let me guess, lack of workers? This isn't news, it's worldwide.
Some people I know were grouching publicly on social media and when pressed, admitted that they booked flights REALLY close together because "they hate waiting in airports" and thus if one card falls, the whole house does.
If waiting in airports isn't your thing, I suggest finding a new hobby.
