It’s not everyday you miss a Ryanair flight and cry at the airport. It’s not everyday you miss a Ryanair flight and cry at the airport.
Moaning Michael

So I just had one of the most shameful experiences of my life yet.

I booked the very early Ryanair flight to Stanstrad. Queuing for security and getting my boarding pass up.

Can’t get it. Going all over the website, raiding emails, etc etc. Cannot get it and tell the security guy in a panic knowing the gate is closing shortly.

Run downstairs to check in to see if someone can help me. No joy. Run back upstairs in a panic frantic trying to find the pass on my phone. No joy. Security guard tells me to try downstairs again, run down. By the time I get to speak to someone the gate has closed. Feeling like I’m on the verge of tears I go back upstairs asking had the flight left.

I can also feel a lot of people looking at me because I was so upset, aka crying.

I’m back downstairs crying and feeling like shit afterwards feeling ashamed and stupid.

Missed the cheap flight, had to go 100 euro with Aer Lingus to get to London quicker.

Great start to the day lads.
