I probably did it on purpose at the time (both airports were reasonably near my house), but I didn't remember I had done that. In any case, when I was flying home I tried to board the *wrong* plane back to the city I had flown out of on my departure leg. Then when the gate agent told me I wasn't on that flight, I flipped out and realized my mistake and had to beg to get it changed b/c my car was waiting for me at the airport I flew out of initially.<br /> That was during a time when I was flying a ton for work, and I think I got a little too laid back about booking flights. So yes, it's a good idea to stress a little over your flight bookings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1671269 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 12:48:02 +0000 wonderstruck 1671269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: My mom did that once. She's not allowed to buy plane tickets in the middle of the night anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1671093 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:51:57 +0000 Synchronicity 1671093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! The flying process in general makes me anxious, so it isn't really surprising. I have to check everything about fifteen thousand times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1671084 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:34:46 +0000 PurplePumps 1671084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes! I hate final sales and flights are the worst of them! I wish they would stop playing their stupid pricing game and just set them all already. And to make it worse, I continue to check flight prices even after I buy them until a few weeks before the trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1671080 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:18:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1671080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: this! And then I look at our tickets 1827362 times on the days leading up to our trip to make sure we leave the house at the right time. </p> <p>I also get butterflies when making that large of a purchase. Is this a good rate? Should we have shipped around more? What if this airline sucks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1671058 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 07:29:13 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1671058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss this. I once booked myself the wrong date coming home from a long work trip and I've been paranoid ever since.</p> <p>Now, my biggest fear is that a work trip is going to overlap with the vacation tickets that I purchased. My company is usually very good about respecting vacations, but I can't help but think that something will go wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670993 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 04:36:24 +0000 MrsKRB 1670993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but only because I really hate flying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670939 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:42:50 +0000 sunny 1670939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Omg!</p> <p>I have an acquaintance who is a flight attendant and she says she announces the city NUMEROUS times on the plane before takeoff and on more than one occasion, right as they're going to close the doors, someone dashes off the plane saying that isn't the one they are supposed to be on! LOL! (I guess they didn't scan their boarding pass at the gate?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670927 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:23:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 1670927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I have a friend who not only booked te wrong destination CITY, she actually flew there before realizing her mistake and had to get a rental car and drive to the other city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670894 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:41:33 +0000 sunny 1670894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: same here!<br /> @chopsuey: I had to book our last trip with DH and I on separate reservations because we were using miles and I also had the same paranoia that we were using the wrong dates!</p> <p>DH once booked the wrong date for a work trip. He meant to book a trip to California for just 1 day (not staying overnight) and he accidentally booked for 2 days. He showed up at the airport and realized he was 24 hrs too early to return home! They charged him $100 or so to change it. Oops :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670858 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:06:26 +0000 chopsuey 1670858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Omg I booked me and P using miles and booked the kids separately. I must have checked a dozen times to make sure they were flying the same days and same flights as us. :P</p> <p>@Smurfette: :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670848 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:00:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 1670848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I do always worry that I somehow managed to book the wrong dates! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-anxious-after-buying-plane-tickets#post-1670845 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:53:40 +0000 Smurfette 1670845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!
