First was the strike action, announced on Wednesday, affecting my flight. That eventually got cancelled.

Next was my phone declining, or at least being difficult about, taking a charge. Annoying, but I’ve got my old NZ phone with me, which is very slow, but does still function for communication.

Which is how I found out about number three; Operational problems leading to a delayed departure. Email came in at 11pm, and my half past midnight call to their contact centre got 6½ minutes of hold music, one ring, and a disconnect, so things probably aren’t going well for them either.

Not a lot I can do about it.

My 0740 to Dublin is now an 0820 estimated, but the flight to Chicago is at 1130, so there’s enough wiggle room there to not cause too much alarm. Yet.

And, as I can’t actually contact them about it, I’m going to hope that eventually everything will work out & be grand, and go back to sleep.
