DH has been in Scandinavia this week with work and due home on a late afternoon flight, landing here early evening.

He’s just rung to say that his colleague had the wrong flight details in his phone, flight was showing as delayed so they went for food then wandered over to the (wrong) gate, correct gate was right on the other side of the airport, by the time they’d run over the flight had closed and they weren’t allowed on the flight!

He’s currently trying to find out where his bag is and seeing if the company travel management company can get them home tonight otherwise it will be tomorrow sometime!

I’ve wine chilling and a pizza in the fridge, I was actually really looking forward to seeing him tonight, hopefully they can get him home tonight!

So, is there Norway he can get home tonight? Grin

marvellousnightforamooncup · 15/03/2019 22:09

He could get another flight if he could affjord it.

Sorry not sorry. David started it.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 15/03/2019 22:10

Did they not call them over the tannoy?!

WorraLiberty · 15/03/2019 22:11

Eat the pizza now

You must be Hungary Grin

marvellousnightforamooncup · 15/03/2019 22:12

It does mean you get more pizza OP, and another night to starfish in a whole bed by yourself without a snoring DH beside you.

WideLane · 15/03/2019 22:31

Silly man, he should have tried russain...

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 15/03/2019 22:37

I think you should Finnish the wine and pizza yourself.

LadyGregorysToothbrush · 15/03/2019 22:46

Can’t you enjoy some Swede solitude for one more night?

Calzone · 15/03/2019 22:48

🤣🤣 sorry about your dh but the replies are hilarious 🤣🤣

EjectorCrab · 15/03/2019 22:51

Denmark my words he’ll never trust his colleague with flight details again.

(Sorry that’s just awful - affjord though was a stroke of genius)

Bloodybridget · 15/03/2019 22:58

It's Scandilous!

DavidDavidDavid · 15/03/2019 23:18

I knew this thread was ripe for a pun-off... Grin. Good work, everyone.

Any more, or are we coming to Oslo-down.

DavidDavidDavid · 15/03/2019 23:19

And, OP, I hope you're managing to Copenhagen on your own.

ScreamingValenta · 15/03/2019 23:19

Just relax with your pizza until he Danes to come back home.

WideLane · 16/03/2019 10:25

How was the pizza op? A bit Greece-y?

CakeNinja · 16/03/2019 10:29

Oh god it’s threads like these where I realise I’m so unfunny Grin
But op, on a serious note, how did they miss the tannoy?? I have been delayed —in duty free— several times and the tannoy has had to shame me at least twice into boarding my flight! It travels across the entire airport Shock

WideLane · 16/03/2019 11:30

I hope your dh can exSpain things when he gets home.

(Sorry. I'm avoiding housework:) )

toldmywrath · 16/03/2019 11:55

You've got a right couple of turnips there, better off if they're Swedes.

DavidDavidDavid · 16/03/2019 13:55

Joking aside, hope everything's OK, @AguerosAngel, and that your DH is returning soon. You can always pick up another pizza.

And if you need a frozen one, you always go... to...

...

Iceland.

AllGoodDogs · 16/03/2019 14:27

My husband travels a lot for work and plans frequently change last minute due to delays and cancellations with ferries, flights and traffic issues. It's a bloody nightmare and I don't ever tell the kids when he's due home as they've been disappointed so many times. Try and enjoy another evening of peace and hopefully he'll be home tomorrow.

RealJudas · 16/03/2019 14:32

Some of you really need to go and look at a map to see which countries are in Scandinavia....

Mydressinggownismybestfriend · 16/03/2019 14:34

I love this thread

AguerosAngel · 16/03/2019 15:29

OMG!! Thank you so much, this has made me howl laughing! Grin

He ended up having to stay over again and got an early flight this morning so is now home safe & sound!

They’re still not really sure what happened, DH thinks his colleague had the wrong flight details set to update as there were two flights to our airport at similar times but who knows Confused He said there was no last call as I asked him the same thing?

DS scoffed the pizza and I had a glass of the wine which I’ll be finishing off later!

I really have laughed at your responses, they’re hilarious!
