Disaster strikes

After having a very nice little chat at 1am with some of the family. I began my attempt at sleeping. After spending an atrocious couple hours attempting to sleep in the freezing Melbourne airport it finally hit 4am, and the checkin opened up. And at this point, I checked my phone. My flight was cancelled.

The anger I felt was unexpectedly strong. After a call to mum who calmed me down, I got my flight rescheduled. Qantas is a much nicer airline than jetstar. Not only was I able to check my luggage in at 5am for my 9am flight. They gave us food on the flight and free drinks and a chocolate. It's a small thing but honestly so nice. I will definitely reconsider before booking with jetstar again. I know it's only something small but I would rather pay a little more for food and the bag drop next time.

Managed to make a friend on the flight and we shared an uber into the city. There was no way I had the mental capacity to figure out the bus/train to my hostel after all that happened.

As a result I arrived super early to my hostel for check in so just relaxed in the common area for a couple areas and tried desperately not to fall asleep.

When I could finally check in I lasted another couple hours before falling asleep.Read more
