Allow me to be succinct for once, after my post earlier:
- My dad and I were flying from Frankfurt to Salzburg on a Lufthansa flight operated by Austrian
- After we taxied to the runway the flight was canceled due to a technical issue (the captain must be on Twitter, because he canceled it in 140 characters or less)
- Everyone got rebooked on a flight over four hours later from Frankfurt to Salzburg, which was swapped from an Austrian Fokker 100 to a Lufthansa Airbus A321
- Lufthansa left everyone’s bags behind from the earlier flight (even though they had over four hours to load them)
- There was exactly one agent working the lost baggage desk in Salzburg
- Dad — smartly — checked all of his clothes
More tomorrow, including about our supposed hostage situation, me requesting clarification on EU compensation in the Lufthansa First Class Lounge and getting laughed at (though I ultimately won them over), the seven rubber ducks I managed to pick up, and my dad just being himself.

At least no one can argue I didn’t have all my ducks in a row…
Stay tuned!
