Dear Tony

Thanks for your lesson, and let me know the nervous is not helping me and just make things go worst.

Let us talk about the experience my last trip, we booked the early flight and leave home around 4:30, I printed the boarding pass on the machine, and checked the luggage on the counter, just leave a small carryon bag. Everything is under my hands until on barding.

I was on board and sit down with my seat to wait plane departure, but we got the delay notice due to air traffic, and no detail time to take off, so there are many noise after long time waiting, since the space is too small and let people feel very bad especially the temperature is high in that time. This is bad experience.
When we back to home, we be noted the flight be cancelled due to bad weather, the airplane company offered the free hotel and shuttle bus service, then we didn’t feel bad mood even we can’t go home on time.

We want to talk the topic about special foods.

Thanks

Dear Tony

Thanks for your lesson, and letting me know being nervous is not helping me and just making things worse.

Let’s talk about the experience from my last trip. We booked the early flight and left home around 4:30am, I printed the boarding pass on the machine, and checked the luggage on the counter, I just took a small carry–on bag. Everything was going smoothly until boarding.

I was on board and sat down in my seat waiting for the plane to take off, but we got the delay notice due to air traffic, and no details about when we will take off, so it was getting noisy after a long wait, since the space is too small and made people feel very bad, especially the temperature was high at that time. This was a bad experience.
When we got back home, we were notified that the flight was cancelled due to bad weather, the airplane company offered the free hotel and shuttle bus service, then we weren’t in a bad mood, even if we couldn’t go home on time.

We want to talk the topic about special foods.
