Crossing the Alps




Alitalia managed to get me into Milan about an hour and a half late, but they never acknowledged this, or even bothered to explain why. Regardless, I missed my connection in Milan. They had the nerve to act like they were doing me a favour when they put me on the next flight, which was four hours later. I wanted to let my sister know what was happening but I had forgot her phone number (doh) so I tried to call my mother so she could relay the message. Long story short: the local number you can call to get connected to Canada by Bell calling card had changed. They didn't say what the new number was, but they suggested you look it up online. The airport had internet terminals, but they needed Italian phone cards. All the phone card dispensers looked like this. F*ck.




We inform all passengers that due to Alitalia considering its posted departure times to be nothing more than a whimsical suggestion, all departing flights may be delayed.




I'd had enough.
