I made it to Buenos Aires! Nearly three weeks trying to change my ticket (three airline offices in two different cities, plus phone calls and emails and web ´help´) and I finally got to go where I wanted (BA) when I wanted (16 Jan, 10:45 a). And in the end the thing that worked was going to the airport and praying someone on my intended flight would be in a car accident on their way there (not really! - but kinda). Once the flight was closed to everyone would had tickets (an hour before take-off) I got to change my ticket (for a mere 25 USD), race through security and immigration to my gate, and find out that by ´boarding already´ they meant waiting for a fuel truck. If I wasn´t ridiculously happy to get a ticket at all (and exhausted!), I´d have been really annoyed. Also, ´full´ appearantly means the plane is a third empty.
Lessons learned:
1) Never fly stand-by -- very stressful not knowing in what country you ´ll be sleeping.
2) Yep, the airline is messing with you. Accept it now and you´ll be a happier person.
It is really gorgeous here - totally worth the drama. Picts to follow.
Happy retirement Molly! Enjoy Arizona!
