HIGHLY disappointed right now....so very bummed out. :(
I had everything packed and ready. Everything was set to go. The planed pulled away from the gate and began it's safety check, when something failed. Something was wrong with one of the tail rudders so they wouldn't let us takeoff. The pilot brought the plane back to the gate and they had maintenance try to fix the problem, but after 45 minutes they decided to kick us off the plane so they could work on it. By this time I was already going to miss my connecting flights, so I had to go to special services to see if they could manage to get me another flight. UNFORTUNATELY nothing else was available, so they sent me all the way back to Ticketing, to try and book me another flight. I basically spent another 2 hours with the ticket agent trying to find me a flight and trying to book that flight. Some sort of complication came up where Lufthansa wasn't letting my ticket cancel. After that was figured out, they notified me that my luggage was sent to another plane heading for Charlotte, N. Carolina. So now my luggage is in N. Carolina without me and it's going to stay there until my flight on thursday. They managed to book me another flight on thursday with the same connecting flights. So there's nothing I really have to worry about, since my luggage will be waiting for me.
However, I'm still pretty upset about this whole ordeal...I've waited so long for this day and it ended up being cancelled.....I guess it's a good thing though, since the plane was having technical problems, but still....
I'm not exactly in a good mood right now...:(
