Delayed at London Heathrow! :(

---

Thanks to the incompetent staff at the British Airways office in Malta, I was not allowed to board my flight to Miami this morning because I didn't have a VISA for the US.... obviously I was not informed about this requirement when I made my booking and thinking that I didn't need one since I was only going to be at Miami airport in transit to Lima, it didn't occur to me to ask....

So i've been up since 0530 and had a nightmare of a morning... locating my luggage that had already been loaded onto the aeroplane and had to be offloaded.... then waiting and praying to God that they would be able to find me a seat on another airline that wasn't already fully booked...

The journey now is as follows.... London - Frankfurt - Sao Paolo - Lima.... I arrive tomorrow morning....

Wish me luck guys....

miskina! bloody ridculous!! did u manage to locate all your luggage?? god! talk about disorganisation. You should really write a strongly worded letter of complaint, even if its to the head office in London. Maybe they give you a free flight to anywhere in Europe....who knows??:)

I can't believe!!
Gosh! I can't believe it happen to you?? I knew this thing about the visa because it happened to me last year, I was just going on transit in Miami and I was informed that even though I still needed a visa. If only we had talked about it... . Well at least you can say hello to Sao Paulo for me eheh!! Hope everything goes well from here on for you in this big adventure!! :) Kisses, Cris

X'inhuuuuuu ???????
Hello dudina, I couldn't beleive my eyes when I read your blog, as today I accessed my mail !!!! These British Airways staff here in Malta they are bloody stupid, I already had experience with them re. my lost luggage and they are of no help at all. I can imagine what a hassle you had then on Monday !! But luckily your luggage was tracked n that you found a flight . Hope that by now you're recovering n resting n preparing for your adventure to begin in PERU :))) Miss uuuu Sam XXXxx
