My first flight alone was on NW/CX. PBI-DTW-NRT-HGK-CGK.
I was supposed to go on NW's first direct flight NRT-CGK but it was cancelled due to some regulation.

Anyway, my flight was rerouted through HGK where I spent the night there.

I was 14 at the time and excited of traveling alone. On the way back, it was the same route, thru HGK.

First I found out that my luggage is overweight. I told the lady I'm going to move my things around between the two luggage and will be right back.

Anyway, by the time I finished, I walked back to find the check-in counter empty. I started to panic and found an agent who told me the flight has been closed.

I was getting ready to cry when the agent told me she can put me on a direct NW's HGK-SEA flight instead of going via NRT. She weighed my luggage and they're still overweight! She finally said not to worry about it and told me to go to the gate.
