I’ve already been back home after almost one month away and it wasn’t a smooth trip back as expected ka.
Seattle was the port of my departure to Narita. The very morning I left Montana early at 7.30, feeling happy to have about 5 hours in between for my international flight. Little did I know it turned out to be an unusual long journey to arrive Bangkok.
To make the long (wrong:)) story short, low visibility at the Seattle airport hindered my flight to land and so by the time we were there, my flight had already gone.
Because it was check-through baggage, I had to track down where it was while rebooking a ticket. Life was more complicated when each staff told me different things which made me walk around the airport without much success. Finally, all was done once I found my way to the ANA office. While staying overnight at a hotel provided by the Alaska Airlines and was on a call with my travel insurance what and how to claim for some relevant items.
This experience from missing the international flight has made me give even more priority to life skills, English proficiency, and cross culture interpretations ka.

For the cross culture interpretations in particular, when I tried to ask for more info from Alaska staff, the guy said, 'I can't help you now as I'll have to board all the passengers.' Another one when I asked two ladies at an ANA counter, 'I need your help.'. One answered almost right away, 'I can't help you.' These two cases showed different reasons ka. The first was about his priority though my question could be just one short answer while the second was that the ladies had no idea about ANA process as they were an Air France team ka. With some sound interpretations, I wasn't angry but was able to think of other options for my next steps to get to what I wanted to know ka.
Happy to be home ka:))!
