Found out yesterday that my flight might be cancelled today, but they was giving some mixed signals saying that they would go, then not going. The owners of Golo Hilltop called all the other airlines going out today, thursday, and found out that everyone was fully booked, sold out! Then I was starting to be a bit worried, and managed to find one ticket with Transnusa on Friday 21st at 9 in the morning. Bought it, and found out that their plane was cancelled today. What then about tomorrow, since I must get to KL at Saturday at the latest.
Got up early this morning and was at the airport at 7 and hoped to get a no-show/standby ticket, but it was not a big change for that. Found out that it was only 2 free seats out of Labuan Bajo left tomorrow when I was at the airport, and I bought one more ticket for tomorrow, this one with Garuda airlines at 16.40, just in case the morning flight is cancelled too. If the first one is cancelled, I get my mony back, and if the first one goes, I lose 1 000 000 ruphia, but I can take that loss. My air Asia flight for today from Bali to KL is lost, and I will need to buy a new one to get to KL. Anyhow, I will not buy it before I get to Bali, since I at the moment do not know when I get there. If I must wait for the afternoon flight, I will spend the night in Bali and fly to KL on Saturday. A German guy I met at the airport was in bigger trouble than me, he had a flight home to Germany 2 days later, and he did not get any ticket, he had the change to buy a ticket at Garuda the next day as well, but for some kind of reason he did not do it, and he went back to town to check around for a ship to Bali, if no ship or no ticket on any other plane he would need a new ticket home to Germany, and that would be expencive. I never saw him again, and I have no idea how it went for him. Hope he made his flight from Bali.
I got my money back from Sky Aviation, and that is at least good, but they do not email or sms their custumers, they do not post any update on their FB page or web site, BAD! Then I got a taxi back to Golo Hilltop, and they helped me find a new place to stay since they where fully booked. Found a good place downtown for the night, with aircondition, and then I head back to the airport again tomorrow morning hoping to get out of here, even if I love being here, I got new places to go.
The rest of the day will I just hang around the city centre, eat and drink and walk around, also check in with Transnusa office and hear what they say about tomorrows flight.
