I was to fly home on Nov. 10th, Florence to Munich-Munich to Boston. Our flight from Florence was delayed over 3 hours therefore we missed our connecting flight to Boston. Lufthansa put us up in a lovely hotel (Munich Airport Hotel) including hotel transfer, dinner and breakfast. Ok great. Well, we get to our gate for the flight to Boston the ext day and ....IT'S CANCELED!!! My friend LeeAnn and I couldn't even believe what we were hearing!!! A mad rush by HUNDREDS of passengers to the Lufthansa service center. It was INSANE. While standing in line we got text messages that we were being rerouted THE NEXT DAY to Chicago and then on to Boston. After waiting and waiting we got to a service agent who gave us vouchers to the same hotel and a food voucher. He assured us there were no flights directly into Boston on Saturday. I was so sick of my jeans and sweater! (note to self, always pack an extra pair of undies and tee shirt even for the flight home in your carry-on)! going through customs/passport in Chicago was insane. I was so happy to see my suitcase as I hadn't seen it since I dropped it off at the airport in Florence Thursday morning. It even made it to Boston.
I know I can file a form from the E.U. to get a monetary compensation. I filled out something on the Lufthansa website but not sure if it's the correct form??? Can anyone link me to the form I should fill out???
This nightmare has definitely put a sour taste in my mouth in regards to international travel. I think I will stay put in 2023 and visit a few places in the USA. I'm so happy to have my lifelong friend LeeAnn with me because we kept each other as sane as possible. We each had meltdowns at different times so at least one of us would be a warrior when needed. And poor LeeAnn then had to fly home to Seattle the next day!
