I would like to share my crazy stupid and most memorable travel experience so far. Ok, so i bought a super sale ticket online at Air Asia last year from Manila to Tagbilaran only for 213 pesos. When i checked the purchased date yes around June of 2016. Im so lucky right? Imagine the savings like 90 % off from the regular price. Im super excited for my trip, finally !! after 1 year of waiting. I prepared everything booked hotels plan my itinerary and so on...Ok so a brief background of me, i got bitten by the travel bug last year so im travelling for 1 year now. I am a solo traveller, been to many places both domestic and international. Solo? because i can do anything i want and go wherever i want. From my observation domestic flights are always or mostly delayed. Morning flights are the ones that dont get delayed (fly on time). The last flight i had from Manila to Cebu also from Air Asia was delayed 5 hours. It was supposed to be 11 am and end up flying 5 pm i think.. fucking crazy!!. They did not offer us anything like snacks or water. Only they gave you the option to cancel or rebook free of charge. Really stupid offer. Even if you complain it will be useless. Nothing will change. Ok so..my flight is scheduled at 1:50 pm and so i assumed that it will be delayed again. I arrived in the airport around 1 and I heard that they are paging my name so i run and arrived in the gate exactly 1:15 pm. To my surprised they do not let me in saying that the plane is now closed and cannot be reopened. Oh my God!!what will I do? I am begging the attendants to help me but they say they couldn't do anything and they just direct me to their counter. I want to cry I know its my fault because i assumed that it will be delayed again. The attendants did not help me saying the stupid line "we coundnt do anything" again and again. I wanted to slap their faces because i know they could do something. I work in the customer service for the longest time and I know in these crazy situation they could at least give me a discounted ticket. So i ask how much is the new ticket to Tagbilaran and she replied 3600. ???3600?? fuck you i only bought it for 200. I will not pay that amount and because the next flight will be the next day. So i think hard and look at my other options. If I go home my flight to Siargao and return flight will be useless. Also the hotel bookings will be forfeited. Since 3600 is expensive for me, i just booked the flight going to Cebu for 2700. There is a flight schedule at 6:00 pm. I waited for my flight and it rained hard and as expected my flight is delayed again for almost 1 hour. I arrived in Cebu at around 9:00 pm and there is no more ferry going to Bohol that time. I checked online and it says the 1st ferry is scheduled at 6:00 am at Pier 4. The blog i read was only updated Feb 2017 so i assumed the information is correct. The fact is that this is incorrect!!. I waited at Pier 4 arrived there at 3:00 am and no ones there. Very creepy experience because i walked there alone, very dark and searching for the possible ferry going to Bohol. Im not kidding Pier 4 is very big someone could grab and kill me and no one will hear my scream because the place was abandoned that time. Still i waited because the blog say that this is the correct Pier and waited until 5:00 am. Finally i saw a ferry coming and ask the guard if that is the one going to Bohol and he replied no!! All ferry going to Tagbilaran is at Pier 1. Oh my Lord..lol..so i ride a taxi to Pier 1 and see that the earliest trip is at 5:10 am Super cat ferry. Im late for this trip instead i booked the next at 6:00 am. See?? so dont believed everything you read in the internet. Sometimes some information are really inaccurate.
