Trip to the foundation of the association Global New Generation Paris/ ile de France Day 1 January 17th With Sonja Prinz , Hoda Abdalah and Eleonore Diaby (trainee) Our flight left at 8:30pm. We met at the airport at 5pm, so we wouldn‘t miss the flight due to the long check-in. Since we were a woman with dreads, one with a headscarf (hijab) and an Afro European, it had been the case that we missed the flight because of the intense check-in prodedures. We got through all the checks relatively quickly and were good in time. We asked again exactly where our flight was going because there were two flights to Paris. When the check-in at easyjet started and we got in, the lady told us that it was the wrong flight to Paris and that the gates had been changed, so we ran to the other gate with me and my sprained foot. We got there at 8:18 pm and there were two other people standing there and the lady told us that we were not allowed to get on the plane anymore, even though it was right in front of us. It was so depressing! Everybody was arguing with the lady but she always said that the captain gave the order and she couldn’t do anything. At 8:30 pm the plane left without us. We learned that this happens often with easyjet and that once even 30 people didn’t get on the plane. We were so angry and disappointed. We wanted to complain but we only got a flyer where we could complain online. We didn’t know what to do. The only option was to buy a new ticket as there was no refund but it was too expensive. We really wanted to go to Paris, so we decided to take Flixbus even though we would arrive in Paris the next day at 2pm but it was worth it. Day 2 January 18th Read more…
