    I really have hit rock bottom, just spent 4 hours sleeping on a bench at Don Mueng departures.

    Not really being a cheap Charlie but after flying up from Phuket and landing after midnight and with just 5 hours before checking in again for my flight to Khon Kaen I was just too exhausted to walk outside and find a hotel....... I thought also I updated my nightmare trip but possibly didn't submit so I have resubmitted below what I wrote when tearing my hair out in Doha

    ********************

    Nightmare time.......

    I am presently stuck in Doha after failing to get on the two services of Qatar Airways to Bangkok.

    Now this baffles me and pisses me off because I only took these flights on the advice of a Qatar reservation agent. Both flights were half empty she said. Well she got that wrong. 

    London Doha was as she said but Doha Bangkok was overbooked with 40 staff standing by. Yours truly didn't stand a chance.

    I am now hoping to fly at 0820 (Qatar time) to Phuket (6 hours after my original flight). Unfortunately it gets into Phuket at a time I can transit to Bangkok but not to Khon Kaen so no seeing my wife and daughter today. 

    Have a booking to Khon Kaen from Don Mueng at 7 am so will be there to attend a merit making ceremony Saturday before leaving with family back to UK on Sunday.

    This is not good for my health or peace of mind.

    The standby nightmare is real. Great when you get on but evil when you don't.

    I need to sleep.

    Yours truly

    Pissed off of Doha.

    Edit.

    I checked in for my journey at 1 pm on Thursday. I will arrive into Khon Kaen in about 4 hours, that's almost a 36 hour trip.

     

    Bloody nightmare Dave, can I ask why you didn't fly direct, when you were going for such an important journey and for only 5 days, I can save £100 and fly with Oman but preferring to pay the extra on Thai or Eva.

    Safe trip back on Sunday bud all 3 of you. 

    Wheels Up.........how many days till ?

    6 days and only for 5 nights.

    I was hoping for it being in 12 days time and for 9 nights but when I checked with the office about leave they told me all leave was blocked through to 2nd week of May.  When I advised them that I needed to bring my wife back to the UK before the 7th of May they told me I could have 5 days off over Easter, their best offer.

    I will get out no problem but getting the entourage back on Easter Monday will be a little bit more tricky. At least I will be with my family, it will have been 12 weeks since I last saw them by the time I arrive in Thailand.

    Hsppy Days indeed
