what to do?

I think the CRY/WAIL option has been exhausted ebu make sure they compensate for all inconveniences…i’m smellin major bucks in compensation and make sure they have accomodated u in style

Hey M, so sorry for the situation you are in. Of course cry not, just hang in there and mos def don’t get yourself punched.
Hope they compensate you, trace your passport and other docs and you get back to kenya and back to Manchester safe, sound & soon.

God bless!

all of the above.

sorry bout it… hope things are getting better

Ach! Daddy pole pole sana! Airlines have gotten very uppity ever since you-know-what and they act like every time they are nice to a paying (!) customer the you-know-what wins.

Ah- for some high-tech body faxing to far destinations new fangled technique.

In the meantime bon chance my brother.

Pole sana Mental. I am angry on your behalf! Make sure they compensate you.
I got stuck like that once, in a muslim country…..Can you spell the word TEARS? I was crying, I was juz mad! Angry and scared. And I ate so many dates, they started growing in my tumbo!!!

And see, what is most horrible is that most of these f**&&&^8 DO NOT HAVE ANY TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS to your problems. ‘please wait in the lounge..” turns out to be forever!. Then they want to give you a hotel room which is NO WAY commensurate to the trouble they have caused you (financially, socially, professionally, emotionally, you name it) to buy you off. Jitetee my dear! ask for dollars….many many dollars.

Hang in there. Enjoy anyway…Have you watched the movie “transit” with Tom Hanks. Aheeemm, my friend, start being nice to people. That lounge may be your home for a whiiiiiilllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeee while to come.
Woiye, I just wanna give you a nice long hug like now. keep well.

hey Dude, hire me. Pole, i got your abrupt text this morning and knew you weren’t alright.

Wow! That’s like Nightmare on Airport Avenue!

How on earth did could does that happen?

I’ve just said a prayer for you.

And make sure that there’s compensation from that airline that proportional to your distress.

poor thing!

i was thinking A and maybe C but D is probably not bad as well.
good luck, please keep us posted.

History repeating itself/deja vu etc. Someone or something is trying to tell you something. The question is: Will you listen…

Pole sana sweetie. Si kwa ubaya lakini what five bob airline are you flying?

Get yourself a lawyer and sue the hell out of EVERYONE. Ebu read the fine print on your ticket. It will make you very happy.

Hugs!

Ps/ I want to know what Mshairi is talking about. Sounds juicy!

Woiye pole! What country were you flying via? I hope you get back soon!

I’m not sorry for the situation you’re in because these experiences always end up being the highlight of our trips abroad. This is what you will remember for years to come.

There is something you will learn as a result of this experience, it may lead you to greater experiences. You were supposed to return to the motherland and you’re about to find out why.

Acknowledge the impermanence of all things and you will believe that all will be pleasant…

Miss ya!

p.s. haha!! wouldn’t want to be ya.

talk ’bout having a bad day! sorry for all the inconvenience, hope you’ll make it home and back in one piece. the airline better have a nice way of compensating you. *e-hug*

my people are your people. ama organise my people to get those people. that is not cool at all

You know the strangest thing, I actually wished for something close to this to happen to some guy. I swear! I was sitting there with my girls and I just started saying things like ” I hope he loses his passports and stuff. I hope his ass gets arrested. I hope he gets deported”…all out of jest actually, I did not mean it.
LOL, my prayers hit the wrong target. YOU.
you know this thing with prayers, they are sorta like stray bullets.., nani alikuambia usimame in the way of fire? Maybe he is the guy that got punched in the face right infront of you. I so hope. LOOOOLLLLL. OK, enough of that. This is about you and your sadness!

ANd kwani, as Ms K asks, kwani you were flying ‘kakamega/Busia express”?

And are you doing well now? Sorry to wake you from your slumber at the lounge.

@ Mshairi…stop scaring the guy already. He is homeless, angry, hungry and lost, don’t overbruden him with creepy details. LOL

@ Ms K. LOL, yaani, amidst all this drama you are asking for gossip. Set your priorities right.

@ MYSELF….why are you blogging on Mental’s?…..and replying at comments ,meant for mental? Go back to your blog!

@ Mental…..If you die at the airport lounge etc, and I pray you dont,…..can I inherit you blog? Pretty please?

Sounds like that airline is a close cousing of Air Botswana, the useless buggers!

Good luck getting your stuff sorted.

Sorry, the movie is “terminal”, the one with Tom hanks.

Sorry about that, I can”t even begin to imagine what i would do in that situation, especially applying for another visa at the UK embassy in Kenya… i was wondering though how come they disappeared with your passport? Usually on transit don’t they just look at your ticket and passport at the counter right there in front of you and then give it back? Well, at least its a lesson for me never to let the person holding my passport out of my sight

Ach shame. I had not read this earlier.
Let us know what happened… won’t you.

Pole sana kwa misba huo. Sounds like the crap I had to go through while flying back to Kenya just before Christmas. We should trade stories. Hope all is well now, though.
