For the 2nd day of 2026, my wife, our 9-year-old, and I are exercising the age-old tradition of travel limbo courtesy of weather and @lufthansagroup.bsky.social. Here's the story so far:

So now we are at the @lufthansagroup.bsky.social Service Counter waiting with probably 50 other travellers to get our missed connections sorted out.

I get to gate B20... And the flight is long gone. A kind crew member comes to the door and tells me they held the flight as long as they could, but we missed it by 10 minutes.

Our flight from Oslo to Frankfurt was scheduled to leave at 06:15. Due to weather delays, the fully boarded flight sat at the gate until 07:35 and took off around 08:05.

Our connecting flight to Vancouver was scheduled for 10:40 with the gate closing at 10:20. We touch down in Frankfurt at 09:50 and start taxiing. For a VERY LONG TIME.

When the plane finally reaches the gate at 10:15, the captain announces there is no driver for the air stairs! Again, our gate closes at 10:20.

A driver for the air stairs finally arrives at 10:30 and we are out the door by 10:36. 4 minutes until our connection departs.
