American tennis player chris_eubanks96 has recounted a horror travel experience after trying to get to Auckland from India before the AustralianOpen. 7NEWS
“This flight to Sydney is the most uncomfortable flight I’ve ever experienced. I get a MAJOR headache that lasts half of this 12 hour flight AND there must’ve been at least five babies on this flight that were not feeling it as well, because those little devils were SCREAMINGGGGG. I wanted to join in with them. I was not OK.”
The struggle subsided when Eubanks made it to the gate for his flight to Auckland with plenty of time to spare. Another delay after boarding threatened to set him off but “at this point I know the trip is almost over”.“We land in Auckland, go to baggage claim but guess what... two of our bags don’t arrive. One with all my tennis clothes and the other being my coach’s tennis bag,” Eubanks wrote.
“We file a claim with Baggage Services and ask the rep when we might be able to expect an update on our bags... he says ‘you’ll be lucky to receive them in two weeks, there’s global backlog on missing bags’.“We take the few bags we have and go check into our hotel in Auckland and that’s where we stand now I look forward to keeping y’all updated on anything else that happens.
