How calm is your cat in airports OP? Let people pet it. Let it look out the window at the aircraft and let it dream of swatting them out of the sky killing hundreds of people instantly. Overnight layovers in airports are loving terrible. The worst experience I've had was in Abu Dhabi airport. poo poo was like a cattle mart and there was zero quiet places to lie down. When I had a layover in Helsinki, I had to fork out 180 euro for a 6 hour bed in the only open hotel which happened to be a hilton. although it looks like a nice place to stay over night in departures. They have lots of recliner seats and free booths with couches.

I got him a kitty tranquilizer + antiemetic from the vet. He's been awake the whole time, but he hasn't seemed stressed at all. He's been a good conversation starter today though

Take all the kitty tranquilisers yourself and see what country you end up in.

I gave him the tranquilizer this morning. Still seems to be in effect though I got him to drink a few capfuls of water when I was hanging at the urban garden thing earlier, that made me worry a little less about him

Good news that a seat opened up, being stranded in an airport sucks. I've been stranded a couple times when I was a kid, and had a 16 hour layover in Kuala Lumpur airport once, boring as gently caress, but at least it wasn't very crowded.

I've got stuck overnight once like 8 years ago now, forget which airport it was. It was okay though. There was a dude with a ukelele stuck as well. He played for awhile then passed it around teaching people how to play a little bit. Helped the night go by. E: also just ate a Chicago dog!!

Unfinish3d posted:Lol my incoming flight got delayed by an hour due to some clouds here (ohare) and I missed my flight out of here. No open seats to where I'm headed rest of the day. So I'm stuck here (with my cat) until the morning. I do not have much money. My cat is going to piss his carrier at some point. Most airports have a place for animals to pee or poop that is outside the airport in a special spot. Just don't let your cat run away because I think it's normally outside in some back alley. You should ask someone...

That looks like a cat who is just fine with staying in his little cat pod and sniffing the air and maybe rubbing his mouth on the zipper part when the doors unzipped maybe

I've flown through O'hare many times but have never had the "pleasure" of being stranded there. I'm glad your kitty made it through okay OP. He seems nice. Airlines count on a certain number of passengers canceling or not showing up ship so they usually have a few people waiting stand by for every trip. I once watched an entire family have a meltdown after being told they couldn't fly to Seattle on my flight. Apparently they were flying standby with their little girl and they had been waiting all day. They had been there since 6 in the morning waiting for 3 open seats to Seattle. I felt sorry for them but still boarded.

Even though the enormous snow machines they have.

Pro tip: the best food from the Chicago Dogs place at the airport is actually the cold Thai Drunkin Noodle from the refrigerator, and not the hot dogs. There are a few other places that have a cold case with noodles and stuff. But I'm always flying Alaska and the terminal my flight leaves from has that restaurant right across from it.Burt Sexual posted:I’ve flown for decades and never been kicked off a flight.

Yeah, I had the bad fortune to fly in at the start of the polar vortex this year and it just delayed my flight. But I was still able to make it in alright.

cats are bad, OP. they are disgusting self centered criminals who will take advantage of us at every turn. I should know, I have two of them and their adorable faces and fuzzy bodies lead me to collude in their crimes. Scratch your cat's chin and tell him that sudonim sez he's a good boy even thought that plays right into what cat propaganda wants us to believe

Coming back from Marseille to NY my flight arrived in Orly and then I had to go to Charles De Gaulle for my NY flight. I went to the train station and waited...and waited and then waited a little bit more for a train that never arrived, finally asked people if they spoke english, somebody said yes and told me that there were signs (french only) saying the tracks were out of service due to maintenance. I had to take a bus to Charles De Gaulle that got stuck many times in traffic. I arrived at the airport at the exact time my Delta/Air France flight was leaving, which was also the last NY flight for the day. 100USD later I was placed on the first flight next day (at 10 am) and barely had any money so a hotel was no option. I had to wander with my luggage around CDG, which has a pretty large hobo population during the winter, afraid of being robbed if I fell asleep. Finally found a few travelers sleeping inside a closed restaurant and joined them, placing my feet on top of my luggage as an alarm. They kicked us out at 6 AM when the restaurant was opening. Only good thing is that my flight changed from Delta to Air France (they had a codeshare) and the plane and food was a lot nicer. This was a few months after 9/11 and the Air France plane had metallic forks and knives, they had personal entertainment systems on every seat and even had a little soft drink bar on the back of the plane to serve your own drinks.

I would talk to the airport people (airline? security?) about the well-being of your cat. I know peeing the carrier is just unpleasant, but the airport ppl don't really want to have to clean that up, either. When my flight was delayed, it took pulling teeth and an hour on the phone to get United to put me up overnight in a hotel. But it can often be done with some politeness, perseverance, and escalation (not necessarily in that order). Not the same situation, but that reminds me of me and my friends being stuck overnight in (or intentionally going to, on a Sunday!) at Frankfurt airport and getting beer at the only 24hr grocery store and generally wandering around the airport with plenty of beer and waiting for McDonalds to open, and then the first train home! Good times  Bad thing about the lack of money, if I were in your shoes heh I'd booze it up and wait til the next flight tomorrow!
