I was glad I missed it in one sense because I was feeling a little too ill to travel. I could re book my flight on the same ticket because it was a free one and non exchangeable.

But you are right about the flight being miserable being that stuffed up. Cabin pressure is a killer. And then there are all those people throwing daggers at you. All those people who do not want to catch your boogers. Like me. It felt like I was going to miss my flight to the UK this year, but in the end, there was plenty of time. Plenty of traffic, too. If my memory doesn't fail (it often does) I believe I've only missed one long-haul and it was years and years ago. London - BKK - Brunei. 12 midnight was mistaken for 12 noon on my ticket. Or the other way around. I went on the next day's flight, but at no cost (I can remember that much). I do not remember if flight insurance made the difference (but as I am not usually that organised on a trip anymore, perhaps not). .-= Catherine´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/womenlearnthai/PKcd/~3/dObsVjI1NrE/" rel="nofollow">Thai Folk Wisdom: Contemporary Takes on Proverbs</a> =-.

Unfortunately Etihad wouldn't let me re book my original missed flight because it was an air miles freebie and non exchangeable.
