Back to EpisodesTravel Day From Hell: Canceled Flights, Trains, Trees & No Rental Car
Description
Ryan’s trip home from Portugal should have been simple: Porto to JFK, a long connection, then on to Rochester. Instead, one canceled flight became a very long series of planes, trains, and automobiles — with a few mistakes of his own mixed in.
Stephanie gets the full story: the wrong airport check-in line, a missed cancellation alert, another wrong line, no available rental cars in New York, three trains, a fallen tree, a power line on the tracks, heavy rain and a rental-car reservation that almost wasn’t honored.
It is funny now. It was not very funny in the moment.
More importantly, Ryan and Stephanie pull six useful lessons from the mess: check every flight segment, read your alerts, confirm last-minute rental cars directly, build extra time around important events, save records and receipts, and know when it is safer to stop for the night.
Plus, Ryan reviews Forno d’Oro in Lisbon and explains why it earned an 8 out of 8 on the One Slice scale.
