AIBU to think he could have just told me his new flight number?

So DH has missed his flight and wants me to
pick him up tomorrow and said his new flight departs tomorrow at whatever local time with the same airline however didn’t provide his new arrival time in the U.K. but he’ll call me when he’s free so we can chat more.

So, we chat on the phone and I asked him what time does his flight land and if he could provide me his new flight number so I can track it on FlightRadar (it’s a 90 minute drive to the airport). I thought he was just going to tell me the flight number but he replied with, you knew I was stressed out about missing the flight and rebooking it so why couldn’t you just find out yourself (i.e. go onto Google Flights, search for flights departing from where he is to the U.K. airport he’s flying to based on the departure time so I can find it out that way versus just telling me the flight number from his email).

I was a bit shocked and said i’m doing you the favour so I thought you could just tell me the flight number to make it easier for me!

He’s now saying I’m being stubborn and not trying to
help him bearing in mind he was in the hotel room
at this point not doing anything except talking to me.

AIBU to think he could have just told me the flight number or should I have done what he suggested prior to the phone call?

Assuming he booked it online, does he not have email confirmation? Can't he just forward it to you? It's not exactly hard.

If he doesn't give you a time to pick up, then you just don't and he can either wait 90minutes or get public transport

WonderingWanda · 29/11/2024 19:42

It's a bizarre reaction from him, is he stressed out? If he's normally lovely then cut him some slack. Maybe something happened that made him miss the flight?

You can just do a search in flight radar by route so it would be easy to find.

BeMintBee · 29/11/2024 19:42

He’s being an arse. Tell him to give his head a wobble

PinkiOcelot · 29/11/2024 19:43

Can’t understand why he won’t tell you? A bit ridiculous really!

He would be making his own way home!

Is he normally such a prick?

BlondeFool · 29/11/2024 19:43

He sounds weird. Completely off key reaction.

TwistedWonder · 29/11/2024 19:44

What a shame you forgot about your girls night out with friends tomorrow but oh well there’s always public transport.

What a childish prick

Clearinguptheclutter · 29/11/2024 19:45

Bizzare
assuming its a direct flight it easier to find out on flight radar either by route or by departures/arrivals at the relevant airports
but he was still an arse about it

barbarahunter · 29/11/2024 19:46

He's annoyed at himself/everything and taking it out on you. Is he often a dick?

RickiRaccoon · 29/11/2024 19:47

That's very odd behaviour from someone who wants a favour. I'd either tell him to make his own way home or say, I'll be at the airport at [time 2 hours after he lands].

LostittoBostik · 29/11/2024 19:47

He sounds totally stressed out. Unless these hissy fits are a regular thing?

But if it's a one off I'd let it go.

Yennefer44 · 29/11/2024 19:50

Depending on where he is, some routes have nine flights a day to an airport, how are you meant to find that out?

Yes, say you'll be there two hours after landing time unless he forwards the flight info. Why should you arrange your time around him when he couldn't even make it to his originally booked flight?

meditrina · 29/11/2024 19:57

OK, so he is a bit stressed and perhaps doesn't have the number to hand.

In which case, the best course of action is "I'll check when we've finished talking and text it to you"

He's fumbled this really rather badly.

StripeyDeckchair · 29/11/2024 20:01

Hes being a w*kr
I would send a message back saying

It's not the whos most stressed competition but do you want to be collected at the airport or get public transport home?
Send the flight details by return so that I can track it & don't end up sitting in the car at the airport for hours waiting for a delayed flight or make your own way home.
