Today we had a strange Flight

We just finished our staycation after 40+ days and our way back was really strange. We were booked on a theoretically existing but physically non-existing flight. The website of the airline and all portals (e.g. Google Flights) were still showing the flight (until the time of departure), whereas on the local airport nobody knew about this flight at all.

There was the “same flight” (same number, same destination, same airplane) 3 hours later but via airline hotline nobody could tell us anything about it and they just told us that our initial flight will happen. So we waited 5+ hours at the airport before departure and arrived at our stopover 3 hours later (evening instead of afternoon) than planned. Thus, we missed our connecting flight and spent most day either at an airport or in an airplane which means I didn’t find time to write anything properly today 😉
