Booking a trip at 2am will do that lol. Just trying to get a silver lining lol. I know it's wrong in a way, but their irrops, luggage ops, and lack of picking up the phone got me here. flying me out another day doesn't affect them at all.
Yes and no. The whole point of trip in vain is that you wouldn't have taken the trip. While seeing friends wasn't the purpose, it has become the purpose if you ask to stay a few days. Otherwise everyone who gets delayed would declare trip in vain, vacation, return home and get a refund.
