Chaotic departure

So, last night just before my departure from the best home base I could ever imagine (thank you so much Tamara <3), I was notified that my flight had been cancelled due to the bad weather conditions and that I had been booked onto a flight via Tokyo which would have taken about 30 hours approximately. I called the hotline and was able to be booked onto another flight via Beijing leaving this morning. Taking the name Chongqing, which appeared on the ticket, for the Chinese name for Jakarta I did not learn about the mistake that had been made until early this morning when the nice Swiss air employee tried in vain to book my luggage through to my final destination. It figured that the person who had booked my flight my had changed the code from CGK to CKG and no one had noticed....I don't know when I would have noticed the mistake... in Bejing or on the way to Chongqing. Finally, I was booked onto another flight leaving much later which will take me via Vienna and Doha to my new home city. Thanks to the awesome lady at the counter I did not end up in the cold middle of China but was treated to a food voucher and access to the empty business lounge 😊Read more
