If you haven't already done so, it's worth a read...
But that is not the reason for the post.
I said (everyone who has been, has said), make as many plans as you like, it all goes to shite, and Africa always wins.
We are due in Africa for May. Cull hunt. Cheap (everything is relative) and cheerful.
And so, on the way home from our very, very last ever Safari last year, we booked this bugger.
Deposits paid and flights booked - fcuk it, I'm in. In any event, my kids do not need three square meals a day - fat little bastards - do them good to go without.
Our PH makes contact earlier this month. For reasons beyond his control, our intended destination is now scrubbed, but he is working to get us somewhere 'local'. By 'local' I think he means within the same sovereign country..
.
OK. It's all good. It's still Africa.
Then this morning a text from these fcukers..
"Your flight (bought and paid for) is cancelled. We have put you on another one. Please log in to confirm your acceptance".
Long short. I get locked out of the BA App. (for 24 hours apparently).
I take Mrs. S62's advice and phone their 'help line'.
"We are extremely busying at the moment and will not be answering your call" - then a dialing tone as the AI for BA hangs up on me.
Not even a, "Your call is really important to us. Please continue to hold. You are 29th in the queue".
Bastards!
Why do we bother?
It's rhetorical - especially if you have been fortunate enough to have made it out there. But what a huge pain in the arse, and it's still not until next year!
As the younger generation would say JDWI...
Speaking of the younger generation, I would complain to the kids but they are bleating on about how hungry they are ...
