Travel mishaps are a common experience for many, with issues ranging from missed reservations to incorrect seat assignments. The frustrations of dealing with airlines often leave travelers feeling helpless and stressed.

One traveler recounts their experience: "My boyfriend and I planned a trip for the end of the summer months ago. Last night we were still trying to decide how we’d get to the airport, when my mom told me that she could take us before work." However, things took a turn when her boyfriend arrived late, leading to further complications. "He told me that his phone 'fell' and he didn’t hear it," she said. Eventually, he realized at the airport that he had forgotten his ID at home, which was an hour away.

Such experiences are not uncommon. The complexities of travel logistics can be overwhelming for many, especially those unfamiliar with navigating airports and airline procedures. One individual reflects on their early travel experiences: "I genuinely didn’t know how to get to the airport... I had to figure out the bus to the metro (and changing trains)." Despite leaving ample time, delays still posed challenges.
