Ever had to run like mad through the airport only to miss your connecting flight? Before you let frustration and anger overtake you, here are some ways that you can make the most of an awful situation.
Don’t Panic
Panic probably feels like the most natural thing to do right, but try your hardest to resist. Take a deep breath and remember that missing a flight happens to the best of us. Panicking won’t help the situation, so try to keep a cool head.
Contact the Airline
Head to the nearest airline desk or customer service center. Politely explain your situation to the staff (while keeping calm). They may be able to help you re-book your flight or find an alternative route to your destination.
Use Your Time Wisely
Missing your flight means you may have a bit of time on your hands while you wait for another. Take the opportunity to explore the airport. There are often restaurants, bookshops, souvenir stores, and other fun things around. Take advantage of the WiFi, grab a cup of coffee and maybe some cake, or catch up on a bit of sleep.
